Government Program Showcases Economic Strength, Border Stability, and Women’s Rights Advancements

The weekly “Voices from Thai Khu Fah” program, hosted by Government Spokesperson Jirayu Huangsub on June 14, covered key national issues including economic policy, border security, women’s empowerment, and international cooperation. The program began with seasonal weather updates and a reminder to the public to drive safely during heavy rain, especially in the northeastern region. The public was also encouraged to continue submitting concerns, many of which have already been reviewed and sent to the appropriate agencies.
A major topic was the Prime Minister’s order to intensify enforcement against illegal imports, intellectual property violations, and foreign businesses using Thai nominees. Ministries and agencies have been instructed to conduct field investigations, prosecute complicit officials, and review foreign ownership structures. Sectors under review include tourism, real estate, e-commerce, logistics, agriculture, hospitality, and construction. The Cabinet also approved infrastructure and tourism development projects totaling 157 billion baht, currently under detailed review for public benefit.
The program also addressed developments along the Thai–Cambodian border. On June 5, Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai met Cambodian officials in Aranyaprathet district to address military tensions. Following a National Security Council meeting on June 6, the Thai government introduced measures including limited cross-border movement and reduced checkpoint hours. Cambodia initially declined to reposition troops but later agreed to ease tensions and restore disputed areas. Both sides agreed to lower rhetoric and avoid further escalation.
The Prime Minister’s visit to Surin province on June 11 included stops at Kap Choeng Hospital, the Chong Chom border checkpoint, and nearby communities. She inspected bunkers built by local residents and directed the Interior Ministry to assist with construction materials. She reaffirmed Thailand’s adherence to diplomacy through the Joint Boundary Commission, scheduled to meet soon.
Additional updates included the launch of “TISI Watch,” an AI-powered system that flagged nearly 100,000 online listings for substandard or illegal products. Categories with the most violations included plastic food containers, toys, and electrical appliances. In Chiang Rai, agencies are monitoring chemical contamination in the Kok River, which originates from upstream in Myanmar, using satellite data and on-site inspections. A technical team is coordinating regional cooperation on this issue.
Rayong was recently ranked Asia’s top slow travel destination by Agoda, praised for its natural beaches, mangrove forests, and seafood markets. The Prime Minister also launched the “Empowering Women for Development” campaign, calling for expanded support through the Women’s Role Development Fund and improved access to digital and branding tools. She spoke about the challenges faced by women in leadership and called for greater gender equality.
On the international front, Thai airlines are now cleared to resume direct flights to the United States after years of safety-related restrictions. Routes to Los Angeles and New York are expected to open soon. On June 13, the Prime Minister chaired the annual meeting of Thai ambassadors, instructing them to strengthen international cooperation under the “Team Thailand” approach and support national economic strategies abroad.
The program concluded with a reminder that citizens can submit concerns by post or through hotline 1111, with all submissions carefully screened.
