Thai-Cambodian border to remain closed for foreseeable future – Thai PM

The PM stated that national interest is paramount, noting improved economic indices since the border's complete closure in June last year, and emphasized that reopening depends on resolving these pending conflicts.

How safe are Thailand's senior motorists?
Recent incidents and rising fatalities underscore a critical safety concern with Thailand's senior motorists, as accidents involving elderly drivers are increasing.
Thailand currently lacks an upper age limit for drivers, and millions of pre-2003 lifetime licenses mean many seniors avoid regular fitness evaluations, contrasting with stricter regulations in other countries.
Experts urge elderly drivers to recognize physical warning signs like disorientation or impaired reflexes, advising self-awareness and family support to ensure road safety and prevent accidents.
