Pimay1 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) This would be an excellent oppoturnity for the PM to visit the villages and meet the local people one on one. Identify and address the issues they are having in their daily lives rather than depending on information from the local government officials with their own personal agends.

Srikcir Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Perhaps Prayut will consider having a mobile cabinet meeting in the South. I'm sure the Malay-Thais are anxious to acknowledge the work of the Junta-government to subjugate them as it did in the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Why shouldn't he visit the region? The last time I looked it was not yet the Lanna Kingdom but still a part of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
