Thailand’s soft power strategy eyes tech and regulatory overhaul

[webfact]

 

Thailand’s soft power is set to receive a significant boost, with creative content experts advocating for the removal of obsolete regulations and the incorporation of cutting-edge technology. This approach, they argue, will stimulate innovation and cultural assets.

 

Asa Piwkhum, tasked with business and innovation development at the Creative Economy Agency, indicated that the imminent meeting of the national soft power strategy committee is likely to revolve around the elimination or modification of laws that obstruct soft power growth. The committee will also possibly consider making changes to a game ratings and censorship draft from the Culture Ministry.

 

Asa further suggested the idea of organising cross-sector festivals and events, such as amalgamating winter and water festivals or combining tourism and sports into a week-long or month-long festival.

Funny, I don't really see Thailand as full of creative people. Maybe I don't notice the creativity. But in my life experience I have noticed that the further the world is away from the first world, the more complex and arbitrary its bureaucracy is. One only needs to look at the immigration laws and vis issuance to see the stupidity there, compared to second or first world countries. 

Whilst I applaud the initiative to get rid of red tape, my experience tells me that little or nothing will come of this effort. When I can walk into different IOs and get asked for the same paperwork and the same rules apply, then I will change my tune and laud Thailand to the world.

That article is mouthful of nothingness.

 

With guidance like this it's no wonder the Thai economy is struggling.
