Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has expressed confidence that government policies will gain major traction within a few months.

 

Specifically, he predicted the complete closure of notorious scam call centres by the year's end, for which extensive collaboration with neighbouring Cambodia and Myanmar has been undertaken. This bold claim is part of a broader vision to revitalise Thailand’s economy and public welfare.

 

Campaigning in Bueng Kan for a local politician, Thaksin outlined future government initiatives closely tied to global economic trends. These include a bold move towards adopting cryptocurrency, which he believes can significantly infuse capital into Thailand's economy.

 

He also promised a major housing development project with plans to construct 100,000 homes annually, aiming to accelerate socioeconomic growth.

Addressing environmental concerns, Thaksin emphasised the urgency of tackling PM 2.5 pollution levels by holding sugar factories accountable for emissions, showcasing an integrated approach to policy-making.

 

Paetongtarn “Ung Ing” Shinawatra, Thaksin’s daughter, has also been proactive, revealing comprehensive plans to dismantle drug operations and scam call centres based in border regions by year-end.

 

Ung-Ing emphasised that discussions with officials in Poipet and Myawaddy reflect the administration's commitment to regional cooperation for public safety.

Further enhancing Thailand’s international engagement, the government is preparing to sign a landmark free trade agreement with the European Free Trade Association on 23rd January in Davos.

 

This agreement will significantly boost trade with Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein, marking a strategic expansion into European markets.

 

In parallel, Thailand has made its mark in the tourism industry, with Bangkok recently being ranked the second-best city globally by Time Out magazine, celebrated for its cuisine and cultural vibrancy.

 

This accolade aligns with the government's strategic vision to promote Thailand as a global tourist hub, aiming for longer tourist stays and broader exploration beyond the capital.

lip service

who is this guy again?

Just like he promised to solve Bangkok's traffic jams back in the day.

This guy is a scam artist himself.

I'm sorry.. but who is thaksin to promise anything like this

When will he be arrested for meddling in Thai politics?

And when will his daughter, who allows this, be removed?

The is banana republic on a higher level. 

When will the authorities act against this criminal and his enablers?

Is he closing down one of his sideline businesses 

Thaksin promising progress. Funny. Kind of like Trump promising to end the Russian was in Ukraine the day after he was elected. We sure have seen impressive progress with that lie. Thailand should send cross border spies and simply take out these fools. 

Thais aren't that stupid to swallow this BS !! or are they! the sooner the better this guy is locked up

Is he going to use his trusty blam blam blam approach again?

Maybe he has contacts in AIS and the other Thai communication companies that can help him shut the call centres. 

No this guy has "Logorrhea"  hopfull not long to live!

Is he the new PM , certainly acting like he is

Obviously it are the communication companies that provide the call centers with the numbers.

Prove is that I have 2 sims in my phone, one post paid, and one pre paid./

The latter has never been used to make a call, or given to anyone, since it is only to have enable a subscription to an online service, which isn't Thai based either.

I receive spam and scam calls at least 4-5 times a week on that number, but never answer because since nobody knows the number, it can't be legit

Public welfare comes off second best again.

Yeah.

We might well be referring to him as president elect soon.

So, now he wants to become prime minister not only of Thailand, but also Myanmar and Cambodia (where most scam centres are)?  😆

Correct. It was before his inauguration. 

 

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump vowed to quickly end the war in Ukraine. He’d do it in “24 hours” after taking the oath, he said, or even before his inauguration. 

 

But as he prepares to return to the White House, it’s clear that promise will go unfulfilled.
