The appointment was announced in the Royal Gazette on Monday. Arkom succeeds Predee Daochai, who abruptly quit the post on September 2 after less than a month in office. Arkom was previously transport minister under the post-coup Prayut Chan-o-cha government. Before that, he was secretary-general of the National Economic and Social Development Board, a state think-tank which is now known as the National Economic and Social Development Council.

Being a minister under the post "illegal" coup Prayut Chan-o-cha government means he has all the credentials to be a dynamic finance minister, in other words, he will do exactly as he is told, and will be another puppet for the unelected P.M.

Popular Post crazykopite Posted October 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) What Financial experience does he have has he ever been employed in the financial industry somehow I doubt it and when at University what did he qualify in these are the question people should ask , having done a little research the only things I have found are his failures in the other positions he held so that does not give me much confidence for the Thai economy . Someone in a previous comment mentioned being a puppet to the PM I have a feeling that the person who mentioned that remark may have well hit the nail on the head.

Popular Post Isaan sailor Posted October 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2020 He’s off to a fantastic start. Baht has just trounced western currencies so far this month. This begs the question: if the economy’s in shambles—why does the Baht continue its torrid pace upwards? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What Financial experience does he have has he ever been employed in the financial industry". What experience does the unelected "PM" or any of his soldiers have in anything to do with running a country? I hope that as soon as this "PM" is out of office and there is a peoples government back in, that this guy does serious jailtime for what he and his soldiers have done to this once nice country. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does that and appoints someone who knows what they are doing they wont be able to keep their snouts in the trough.
