This weekend, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin embarks on a vital tour of Ubon Ratchathani, Si Sa Ket, and Surin provinces, focusing on pressing issues such as water management and drug control.

 

Government spokesman Chai Wacharong revealed that the Prime Minister's trip, commencing this afternoon in Ubon Ratchathani, will include various engagements aimed at addressing both environmental and social challenges in the region.

 

In Ubon Ratchathani, PM Srettha will begin by observing the traditional making of Buddhist Lent candles at Wat Maha Wanaram. This cultural engagement is followed by interactions with local vendors and residents at the riverside walking street, providing him with grassroots insights into the community's daily lives.

 

Saturday's itinerary includes a visit to the Kham Nam Saap overpass construction in Warin Chamrap District, followed by an inspection of flood prevention efforts at Huai Nam Chang. Later, the Prime Minister will convene a meeting at Kantharalak District Office in Si Sa Ket focused on tackling drug problems and improving water management.

 

In the afternoon, he is slated to kick off the initiative to plant 72 million trees, symbolising a significant environmental effort. Additionally, he will visit the relics of Luang Pu Suang at Luang Pu Suang Wat Phraipattana College of Technology and address local water concerns at Wat Sa Ban Sanuan.

 

His day will conclude with a stop at the youth football training centre at Sisaket United Football Club, underscoring his support for community and sports development.

 

Continuing on Sunday, PM Srettha will assess the conditions at Huai Kaew Reservoir in Surin's Rattanaburi District. He is then expected to chair a provincial development plan meeting at the district office. The tour will wrap up as the Prime Minister departs from Buriram Airport for Bangkok.

 

This tour underscores the government's commitment to addressing regional issues directly, aiming to provide sustainable solutions for water management and drug prevention across northeastern Thailand
