Please invest heavily in Thailand, we have thousands of unemployed service sector workers who are looking for a salary.

Discourage Japanese companies from pulling out and going to bordering nations, in fact we welcome companies to come and set-up in our new S.E economic facility which lays empty.

Thanks for the loan by the way.
