Thailand’s proposed merger of MCOT and Thai PBS is facing a key test over whether combining two state-backed media organisations with different financial challenges can create a more sustainable future.
MCOT has struggled with declining commercial revenue after digital disruption, while Thai PBS has faced rising personnel and programme production costs despite having a stable funding mechanism.
The proposal still requires Cabinet approval, with the main question being whether restructuring can create efficiency or simply combine existing financial burdens.

Thailand is monitoring cross-border haze risks in the South after Indonesia recorded 7,236 hotspots, with winds potentially carrying smoke towards southern provinces.

Rain is expected to help ease conditions, but the Pollution Control Department says monitoring will continue and ASEAN cooperation may be sought if impacts increase.

People in foothill areas near waterways and low-lying areas should watch for flash floods and rapid run-off, avoid flood-prone routes and plan journeys carefully.

Andaman Sea waves are forecast at 2-3 metres and above 3 metres during thunderstorms, with mariners urged to avoid stormy areas and small boats advised to remain ashore.

Thai energy giant Banpu is accelerating its transition away from traditional fossil fuels, pivoting towards cleaner alternatives, grid stability, and AI infrastructure.
Speaking following Gastech in Bangkok, CEO Sinon Vongkusolkit outlined plans to cut the group's carbon footprint by at least 20 per cent over the next five years, aligning its US and Asian operations to build a cleaner, more resilient energy system.
From expanding carbon capture capacity and battery storage to powering hyperscale data centres and nurturing cross-border talent through the Banpu Academy, the company is positioning itself as a key player in Thailand’s push towards net-zero emissions by 2050.

Cambodian troops dug trenches and installed barbed wire at Hill 450 near Chong Sa-ngam, raising concerns that the work may have encroached on Thai sovereign territory.

After liaison teams from both sides held talks, the Cambodian side agreed to fill in the trenches, remove the obstacles and restore the area to its original condition.

Major General Winthai Suvaree, spokesperson for the Royal Thai Army, said no official explanation for the trench work had yet been received and urged residents to rely on official information, stressing that local coordination channels could resolve such incidents.
