One of the government’s plans to accomplish during the remainder of its name is to eradicate poverty and create a productive economy, according to an adviser to the prime minister.

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra wants to do everything in her power to ensure that Thais will be able to avoid hunger, according to Surapong Suebwonglee, deputy president of the five-member expert panel appointed by the prime minister. The government has only just over two more years to go into business.

The aim is for the state to overcome financial problems, he said.

” This will pave the way for a successful business to emerge”, Dr Surapong said, quoting the perfect secretary.

He made the remarks after Ms Paetongtarn met with her expert group on Thursday &nbsp, at Baan Phitsanulok, the beautiful state guest house on Phitsanulok Road.

On her X account, Ms. Paetongtarn announced that” Baan Phitsanulok is actually opened,” along with pictures showing her leading her consulting team inside a mansion in Bangkok’s Dusit district.

The primary minister appointed the well-known team earlier this month to guide her state, and this was the first time. Pansak Vinyaratn heads the screen, which includes Dr Surapong, Tongthong Chandransu, Phongthep Thepkanjana, and Supavud Saicheua.

After the conference, Dr. Surapong stated that the prime minister is willing to listen to advice from the experts, who have extensive experience in various areas. He stated that Mr. Pongthep, a constitutional expert, would provide legal advice on civil service reform and Mr. Tongthong would provide guidance on civil service reform.

He said Mr Supavud, who is well-versed in financial matters, will provide tips on monetary policies.

Dr. Surapong may share his thoughts on issues of public health and soft power growth because he has been involved in both.

According to Dr. Surapong, Mr. Pansak has a wealth of political experience, is an expert on international affairs, and consulted on some past prime ministers.

Mr Pansak was also an assistant on monetary policy for Ms Paetongtarn’s parents, Thaksin Shinawatra when he was perfect secretary.

At Baan Phitsanulok, Dr. Surapong added that government officials and staff from the private business would also be invited to share their tips and suggestions.

He stated that the prime minister will also be present and that the expert team will meet once per week on Wednesdays.

The team may also collaborate with the government and cabinet organizations.

He said that the consulting group has also suggested that additional financial measures may be rolled out to support disaster victims, comfortable people’s bill burdens, and promote exports by small and medium-sized enterprises.

” These steps will be presented to the prime minister for account”, he said.

Baan Phitsanulok, which was constructed in 1922, is the prime minister’s established home, though Chuan Leekpai is the only leading to have spent any time there.

The Venetian Gothic castle has primarily been used as a guest house for state VIP customers.

Maybe Chatichai Choonhavan’s command center, which Baan Phitsanulok used between 1988 and 1991 when Mr. Pansak presided over an advisory crew, is best remembered for its role. One of the most well-known recommendations of that expert team was to “turn battlefields into markets” in a place also recovering from the Vietnam War and the unrest in Cambodia.
