Irrigation, flood management and transportation connectivity in the central region will be top of the agenda as Thailand’s travelling Cabinet descends on Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya on Tuesday.

 

The meeting in the nation’s treasured former capital will be held on the second day of PM General Prayut Chan-o-cha’s field visit to the region after spending his first day in Suphan Buri.

 

The government has supported farmers in the region through distribution of land, aid for research and development of cane plantation, boosts for SMEs and supports for sustainable agriculture following a “sufficiency economy philosophy”, said Government Spokesperson Lt-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd on Sunday.

 

 

The government also increased irrigation areas by more than 200,000 rai (32,000 hectares), rehabilitated natural water sources, developed groundwater sources for dry areas and built 362 schools in the central region, Sansern said.

 

Other local government achievements included developing tourism in Ayutthaya by repairing archaeological site; supporting transportation modes via bicycles, boats or trams, and “holistically” managing garbage, he added.
