NSC denies 72-hour warning as the world stocks up for emergencies
Thailand's National Security Council (NSC) officially denied a viral warning advising citizens to stock up on 72 hours of emergency supplies, urging the public to rely on official information channels.
Despite the denial, the NSC is actively monitoring the Middle East crisis and coordinating contingency plans, reflecting a broader global emphasis on emergency preparedness.
Countries worldwide, particularly in Europe and Asia, are encouraging households to maintain emergency provisions for 3 to 10 days or more, aiming to strengthen public resilience against natural disasters, power outages, cyberattacks, and potential security threats.

Thai government launches ฿50,000 rooftop solar subsidy for households
The Thai government launched a ฿50 billion 'Rooftop Solar for the Public' scheme, offering a ฿50,000 subsidy per household to one million residences.
This initiative aims to promote clean energy adoption and reduce household electricity bills across the country.
Key conditions include that the ฿50,000 subsidy cannot be combined with a ฿200,000 income tax deduction, and State Welfare Cardholders must forfeit their ฿315 monthly electricity subsidy for 20 years.
Registrations are open until January 31 next year, with applicants required to be Thai nationals linked to the electricity meter and install 5-10 kW systems from registered contractors.
