Thai Government Defends Solar Rooftop Installation Requirements

Thai Post One source

Officials have addressed allegations that new solar rooftop installation criteria favor large corporations, asserting that the measures are intended to prevent contractor abandonment.

According to a report by Thai Post, Ekniti Nitithanprapas has responded to accusations from the Democrat Party regarding the government's new solar rooftop installation criteria. The controversy centers on a requirement for a 50,000-baht bank guarantee, which critics argue creates a barrier to entry that favors large capital-backed firms while disadvantaging smaller contractors. The Democrat Party has suggested that these regulations may facilitate monopolistic practices within the industry. In his defense, Ekniti clarified that the bank guarantee is not intended to exclude small-scale operators. Instead, he stated that the policy is a necessary measure to ensure project accountability and prevent contractors from abandoning installation sites mid-project. For residents and property owners considering solar energy investments, this development highlights ongoing regulatory shifts in the renewable energy sector. While the government maintains that these rules protect consumers from unfinished work, the debate over market fairness continues. It remains to be confirmed whether the government will adjust these requirements in response to the political pressure or if the current criteria will be strictly enforced for all future solar rooftop projects.

Thailand Meteorological Department Issues Heavy Rain and Gusty Wind Warning

Thai Meteorological Department Alerts One source

Authorities have issued a weather alert for Thailand due to a low-pressure cell and high-pressure system, warning of potential flash floods and rough seas.

The Thai Meteorological Department has released a weather advisory regarding unstable conditions across the country. A low-pressure cell currently over the Andaman Sea is projected to shift toward the Bay of Bengal, while easterly winds continue to influence weather patterns across Thailand and the Gulf. Simultaneously, a high-pressure system originating from China is affecting upper Thailand and the South China Sea.

Residents and travelers should anticipate isolated heavy rains in the South, while the upper regions—including Bangkok, its vicinity, and the East—may experience thundershowers accompanied by gusty winds. The department has specifically cautioned that these conditions could lead to flash floods, water overflows, and landslides, particularly in areas near foothills and low-lying regions near waterways.

Maritime conditions are also expected to be hazardous. In both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, wave heights are forecast to exceed two meters in areas affected by thundershowers. Authorities have advised all vessels to avoid navigating through these storm-affected zones. While the forecast provides a general outlook for the coming period, individuals in affected areas are encouraged to monitor local updates for specific developments. It remains to be confirmed how long these weather patterns will persist and the exact extent of potential impact on local infrastructure and travel routes.

Land Inheritance Dispute Leads to Public Protest in Udon Thani

Khaosod Online Thailand One source

A 65-year-old man has been living in a roadside shelter for two months, claiming his siblings are attempting to seize his inheritance, while his family denies the allegations.

A 65-year-old man known as 'Ta Kham' has been residing in a public bus shelter along the Nittayo Road in Udon Thani for approximately two months. According to Khaosod Online, Ta Kham claims he was forced out of his home after his sister allegedly attempted to seize his land inheritance and physically assaulted him. He maintains that he is the rightful executor of the estate based on his mother's final wishes and has presented documents, including land deeds, to support his claims.

Conversely, his sister, Samrit, and brother, Pinthong, have refuted these allegations. They claim that the family inheritance was divided equally among all siblings in the past and that Ta Kham has already sold his portion. They further allege that Ta Kham attempted to sell land belonging to other family members by acting as an unauthorized executor, which prompted them to petition the court to become joint executors. While the siblings have expressed concern for his well-being and invited him to return home, Ta Kham has refused, stating he will only resolve the matter in court.

For residents and visitors, this situation highlights a private family dispute that has spilled into the public sphere. The veracity of the claims remains to be confirmed through ongoing legal proceedings, as both parties maintain conflicting accounts of the inheritance distribution.

The program, known for its unique format where celebrities attempt to guess the identity of a hidden singer behind a wall, featured Chada performing a duet of the song 'Roi Yim Nak Su' alongside comedian Nong Cha Cha Cha. This appearance has drawn significant public attention due to the contrast between Chada's typical political persona and his participation in mainstream entertainment. For residents and visitors in Thailand, such moments highlight the intersection of political figures and the country's vibrant pop culture landscape, where television variety shows often serve as a platform for public figures to showcase different facets of their personalities. While the performance was well-received by the studio audience, it remains to be seen if this appearance signals a broader trend of political figures engaging more frequently with entertainment media. No further details regarding future television appearances by the politician have been confirmed at this time.

Khaosod Online Thailand One source

A 30-year-old driver escaped injury after crashing his pickup truck into a concrete barrier in Udon Thani, but now faces potential legal consequences for property damage.

On November 12, 2026, a serious traffic incident occurred at the Kao Noi overpass in Udon Thani province. According to reports from Khaosod Online, a Ford pickup truck registered in Kalasin collided with a concrete road barrier, resulting in significant damage to the front of the vehicle and the government-owned infrastructure. The driver, 30-year-old Jittichai Yaisarn, emerged from the wreckage completely uninjured. He attributed his survival to a sacred amulet from Luang Pu Sila of Wat Phra That Muen Hin, which he kept in his vehicle. While the driver was physically unharmed, the incident has triggered a formal police response. Police Lieutenant Colonel Teerapap Phukhansai of the Mueang Udon Thani Police Station arrived at the scene to document the damage and collect evidence. Authorities have confirmed that they intend to summon the driver for further questioning. The primary focus of the investigation is the damage caused to public property, for which the driver will likely face legal proceedings. For residents and travelers, this incident serves as a reminder of the strict enforcement regarding damage to government infrastructure in Thailand. While the driver's miraculous escape has drawn local attention, the legal process regarding the financial liability for the damaged barrier remains to be finalized by the local authorities.

Controversy Over Parliamentary Committee Oversight Powers in Thailand

Khaosod Online Thailand One source

Prachachat Party leader Tawee Sodsong has challenged the legality of a directive issued by House Speaker Sophon Sarum, arguing it oversteps constitutional limits regarding parliamentary committee oversight.

On November 12, 2026, a significant legal debate emerged within the Thai Parliament regarding the scope of authority held by parliamentary committees. During a meeting of the House Committee on Law, Justice, and Human Rights, chaired by Rangsiman Rome, Prachachat Party leader Tawee Sodsong criticized a directive issued by House Speaker Sophon Sarum. Tawee argued that the directive, which regulates the oversight powers of parliamentary committees, exceeds the boundaries established by the Constitution. According to Tawee, these restrictions could weaken the essential oversight functions of these committees and may potentially be in violation of the law. The meeting, which included the House Speaker, the Secretary-General of the House of Representatives, and chairs of various committees, was convened to discuss the legal status and operational guidelines for standing committees. For residents and observers, this dispute highlights ongoing tensions regarding the balance of power and the efficacy of legislative checks and balances in Thailand. The potential impact on how committees investigate government actions remains a point of concern. It is currently unconfirmed whether the directive will be formally challenged in court or if the House Speaker will revise the order in response to these legal concerns.
