Thailand's nuclear energy ambitions face setbacks due to a critical skills shortage, per Bangkok Post reports. The country's plan to build nuclear power plants is delayed as it struggles to train enough qualified personnel.

The Thai government has acknowledged the shortfall in technical expertise needed for nuclear operations and maintenance, according to the Bangkok Post article published today.

Meanwhile, Bangkok prepares to host Eurovision Asia 2026, with the One Bangkok Forum detailing venue preparations, as noted by ESC+.
