Officials from the Pollution Control Department and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration conducted environmental checks at the 'Tele House (Thailand)' data centre, assessing noise levels, water discharge quality, and heat impact.
Initial findings indicate noise levels are within legal limits, and discharged water shows no fuel contaminants or harmful gases. Infrared cameras also confirmed no external heat impact from the centre's operations, with results to inform future environmental protection measures.

The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) is diverting more water into upstream irrigation systems to reduce the flow discharged through the Chao Phraya Dam, aiming to ease pressure on downstream areas.
RID targets a discharge rate of 1,750 cubic metres per second (m3/s) from the dam, continuously assessing upstream water volume and rainfall to make necessary adjustments.
Current flow rates are deemed safe for Bangkok, but the department warns that high tides next week could impact unprotected riverside communities.
RID is closely monitoring national reservoirs, with eight large ones currently holding over 80% of their capacity, to prevent overfilling.
