Bangkok's Chatuchak Area a Contender for F1 Race in 2027
ASEAN NOW composite for reference only. A bold and thrilling plan is in motion as Thailand positions Bangkok's bustling Chatuchak area to host a Formula 1 race in 2027. The vision for a screaming city race along the arterial Vibhavadi Rangsit Road is spearheaded by the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT), as revealed by its governor, Kongsak Yodmanee. Buzz around the capital heightened following a recent consultation where stakeholders appraised feasible circuits and possible challenges of transforming the Vibhavadi Rangsit Road for F1 cars. This project resides at the crossroads of multiple state agencies' jurisdictions, underscoring the complexity of the venture. Central to these discussions is Chatuchak, which has emerged as the clear front-runner among five potential sites across Thailand. Its attractiveness is enhanced by a proposed 6-kilometre route weaving through the lush greenness of three significant parks, offering a unique setting that few city races can replicate. The alternatives, while diverse, do not match Chatuchak's allure. These include the strategic U-Tapao Airport and Eastern Aviation City in Rayong, the historically rich Ratchadamnoen Avenue, the bustling vicinity of Bangkok Hua Lamphong Railway Station, and the ever-developing area around Muang Thong Thani. Selecting Chatuchak as the preferred option is just the beginning. The next crucial phase involves presenting this idea to the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the global motorsport authority. Following a thorough inspection and evaluation by FIA delegates, Thailand aims to place its official bid to host the race. Should all go well, a final decision might arrive as early as January 2025. Success in securing an F1 slot could deliver an economic windfall, with projections of attracting 300,000 visitors and raking in a staggering 12 billion Thai Baht. This potential influx underscores the strategic merit of the venture, aimed at cementing Thailand's status as a premier world-class destination for international events. The notion of roaring F1 machines against Bangkok's gritty urban backdrop is indeed tantalising. While hurdles remain, especially in orchestrating city logistics on race day, the momentum building around Chatuchak’s candidacy is palpable, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-01-20 -

3 Female Hostages finally released by Hamas Terrorists in Gaza
Hostages Reunite with Families After Release from Gaza. In a moment filled with both joy, relief and heartbreak for those still held captive or dead, three hostages, Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher, returned to Israel after 471 harrowing days in Hamas captivity. They arrived at the Re’im military base in southern Israel, where their mothers awaited them with open arms. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the women underwent initial medical assessments upon arrival, accompanied by IDF officers, before being taken to Safra Children’s Hospital at Ramat Gan’s Sheba Medical Center. The hospital, chosen for its serene and private accommodations, is providing the women with essential care. The facility has prepared fresh clothing, toiletries, beauty care, and specially crafted meals to aid their recovery. A special medical team and support personnel are attending to their needs during what is expected to be an extended stay. Speaking at a press conference, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari assured the public of the women’s safety. “They are in our hands. They are coming home,” he stated. The three women were escorted by IDF special forces to a facility near the border for a preliminary checkup before their transfer to the hospital. This event marks the end of a grueling ordeal for the hostages and their families, symbolizing resilience and hope amid immense challenges. As the nation celebrates their return, the focus now shifts to their recovery and reintegration into daily life. Based on a report by TOI 2025-01-20 -
