UDON THANI (NNT) - The Prime Minister has visited Udon Thani to inspect the province’s readiness for tourism reopening. The Prime Minister and Cabinet members also met with local villages and followed up on development campaigns in the northeastern city.

 

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha’s visit started at Wat Pa Ban Tat, a well known temple in the province’s city district, where he paid his respect to the temple’s abbot, and observed the construction progress of a stupa and a museum dedicated to the late Ajahn Maha Bua, a Buddhist monk well respected by Thai people.

 

During his meeting with Wat Pa Ban Tat’s abbot, the Prime Minister elaborated on the government’s development plan for Udon Thani, where he stressed the necessity of public participation.

 

He encouraged villagers in the province to get vaccinated against COVID-19, which would help mitigate the pandemic’s impact, among other disease control measures.

 

After visiting the temple, the Prime Minister joined a meeting between government agencies and local private firms to discuss Udon Thani’s reopening and future development plans.

 

The province is now positioning itself as a logistics hub for the Mekong region with the "Udon Plus Model" plan, effectively promoting the transportation of goods between other Thai provinces on the Mekong River, as well as to other countries within the Mekong subregion, namely Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam.

 

The Prime Minister also followed up on the province’s preparation to host the 2026 International Horticultural Exposition, which is expected to help improve the income and livelihoods of the villagers through tourism spending.
