"all measures to fight drought this year have been placed and are ready to go in action."

But ....

"in order to effectively handle drought problem, Thailand needs to overhaul the entire water management system, including the expansion of the water pipeline network"

So not ready now for action.

Haven't they suffered enough?

But wait, there's more;

"But it was important for the government to also create public awareness about the issue and its solution as there remain people who have been trying to distort fact and information, he said."

This guy and Tony Cartalucci must have been separated at birth - is there any situation that reflects badly on the military "government" that is not being supposedly manipulated by unseen hands, usually a not so subtle reference to Lord Voldemort na Dubai?

Groovy. Folks in NS get to see the 2 km long motorcade. I'm sure that will warm their cockles.
