The Pheu Thai Party is looking to move on after its loss in the prime ministerial election on Friday, pledging to work as a real opposition party that prioritises straightforward politics, Pheu Thai MP Anusorn Iamsa-ard says.

The Bhumjaithai Party has confirmed that it is considering reviving the government’s “Khon La Khrueng” (Let’s Go Halves) co-payment scheme as part of efforts to stimulate Thailand’s slowing economy.

A headline in an international media outlet describing prime minister-elect Anutin Charnvirakul as “Thailand’s cannabis king” has some people fuming, but those in his own Bhumjaithai Party are not among them.

Thailand may lose an opportunity to increase digital economy investment, including in data centres, if it does not step up efforts to significantly increase its supply of clean power, says SET-listed Gunkul Engineering, an integrated clean energy developer.

According to China Trading Desk, Chinese outbound tourists are estimated to reach 155 million this year, a full resumption compared with pre-pandemic levels.

Demonstrations in Indonesia and a weakened Vietnamese dong could impact inbound arrivals to Thailand in the short term, though both markets are still projected to have high GDP growth and contain a large youth population deemed to have high potential.
