Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is set to make her TV debut this Sunday, February 2, in the first episode of her brand-new talk show, Empowering Thais. The programme aims to promote her government’s achievements and future vision, giving the public a direct insight into national policies.

 

Airing on Channel 11 of the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand (NBT), the half-hour show will be broadcast on the first Sunday of every month from 8am to 8.30am. For those who prefer to stream, it will also be available on government and public relations department websites and social media, government spokesperson Jirayu Huangsap confirmed today.

 

“The show is designed to raise public awareness of the government policies driving Thailand forward under Paetongtarn’s leadership.”

 

 

The first episode will recap the government’s work over the past three months, including key takeaways from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The prime minister will also address policies of national interest, covering initiatives such as Homes for Thais, One District One Scholarship, and long-term plans to combat PM2.5 air pollution.

 

Jirayu added that viewers can stay updated on government affairs by following ministry platforms and watching the Voices from Thai Khu Fah TV programme, which airs every Saturday at 8am on NBT2HD, reported The Nation.

 

With this new direct-to-the-people approach, will Paetongtarn’s TV strategy help boost public confidence and transparency—or is this just another political PR stunt?

    Is she going to cook?

  • Does she have time for this?? Her father claims she is too busy with running the country, so he has to take over to recover the economy... A TV show is wasting time, but only good for extra money beca

  • Please tell me she is joking, this country is doomed.

Thaksin was the first PM to really push the PR side of the business.

That was surpassed by leaps and bounds by the illegal military motley mob.

Sounds liek a Prayut PR stunt to me. People already know she is not the one doing things as PM. It is her father. Maybe he should be on the show instead. Next month, she will begin singing songs she had made for advancing her in politics. Then comes the new classes in school to teach her values and morals. 

It is too bad you can not call while she is live on TV and ask questions. But we all know if they did that she would be unable to reply or she would bring shame to herself and family. 

Good thing i do not watch Thai TV and my Thai family would not be interested in this also.

At least it is not once a week on every channel like Prayut was.

Probably not. But the advertisers paying will be spending more for their ads during this time. I wonder if she gets commissions for that

I would have thought daddy would have preferred a prime time slot, such as 8pm Saturday  night.

Fondues and sausages?

Once a month isn't too much ,wasn't Prayut on every night interrupting scheduled programs.

When someone has nothing to offer, and is an empty suit, they engage in PR stunts like this, to try to convince naive people they are actually doing something.

 Yes but he called himself the tzar

This is a good idea.....I think we all miss uncle Prayuts  shows.....

Just wondering if we will see the strings or if she is like Kermit and miss piggy a muppet.

Hope so, some spicy thaksin food!!

Can we get Jeremy Paxman (ex-BBC interviewer) to run the show?  He'd probably get arrested after the 1st show though. 😆

 

"Paxman became known for his forthright interviewing style, particularly when interrogating politicians.  These appearances were sometimes criticised as aggressive, intimidating and condescending, yet also applauded as tough and incisive."

I'm sure there are good US or other country's alternates for the 2nd and subsequent shows.

Apparently PM's & cooking went by the wayside a number of years ago. Good comment, good memory. 🙃🙃

I well recall PM-Samak's cooking-shows, and friendly chats to the nation, he was a Thaksin-lite temporary-substitute back when Thaksin was on a long investment-tour of Africa & the Middle-East.  :cool:

PR, yep, convinced Myanmar they needed to borrow big money from Thai banks so they could buy shin satellite equipment. but it backfired, he was convicted and jailed along with several very senior officials from Thai banks.
