How to get updated about current incidents and safety concerns?
Upvote:1
Currently ThaiVisa.com is a reliable single [English] source for updates and commentary for Thai-related news.
They have a dedicated news forum. Usually they will add several related news updates into 1 thread for the day. In special cases like when the Bangkok flooding occurred in 2011, they had pinned threads and/or sub-forum just dedicated to flood news and recommendations. Also, you can subscribe to specific regional forums. In your case, you could subscribe to the Bangkok forum. This allows you to get updates. I recommend that you limit the emails once per day; instant notifications for an entire subsection would result in information overload and a very full email box.
I prefer the 'View new content' thread if i am board (Timeline tab in the mobile app)....where you can get sample of the headlines that day along with newly asked questions across all of TV. I saw an RSS link for this thread specifically :)
I do agree somewhat with @JonathanReez in that:
a) the reality of the news business is that you may have several reports of the same event. So you can get alerted numerous times for the same keywords unless additional throttling criteria is installed.
b) there is very little you can do anyway about a current event until after the fact. The news outlets often feed our need to be afraid of something or give us an excuse to procrastinate.
c) if it is truly important enough (detrimental to your immediate basic necessities), you'll hear about it from the local expats. In addition to the large supermarkets (Tescos), there are numerous 7-eleven, wet markets, and mom-and-pop grocery stores to keep the country running for several days [and probably weeks].
Side comment: The underlying problem with alerts, web searches, etc is that the algo that filters the content rarely knows what the searcher meant. Perhaps you could have an ability to limit alerts for certain keywords or conditions to xx times per 24 hours or something like that. You can check the advanced section to fine-tune your alert schedule.
