Mr. Anutin said at one point that I think everyone is fine after seeing each other every month. which is working together into the second month Thank you to all executives who cooperate in the work. Respond to the policies of the government and the Minister of Interior. There are urgent policies that are directly ordered by the Prime Minister. You trust every official of the Ministry of Interior.
Moreover, the Prime Minister travels to various provinces. I talked with the provincial governor. But now I will try to meet with the governor of the tourist province. He praised the work of both Chiang Mai and Chonburi governors in the performance of their duties. And give encouragement to the governor of Phuket who has health problems. May you have encouragement to work. We can’t change horses in the middle of a battle. It’s difficult.
After the meeting ended, Mr. Anutin gave an interview regarding the orders of Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. Regarding the tourism integration plan from Opening service stations until 4 a.m., piloting 4 tourist provinces starting Dec. 15, saying the Prime Minister wants to stimulate the economy. and attract tourists during the high season Let the Ministry of Interior consider what form it should be opened. Not the whole country, but would like to focus on provinces with high tourism such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Chonburi, where each province must hold a public hearing. This is a step that must be submitted to the Cabinet.
When asked if there is now a law controlling the sale of alcoholic beverages. and opening and closing times of service establishments What laws must be amended? Mr. Anutin revealed that he must see whether there are any laws that conflict with each other, such as the Liquor Act, which allows sales no later than midnight. If it is not a service center of some type, it cannot be sold. And if there is no music playing It will be a restaurant that can be open 24 hours, which previous news was misleading.
As for amending the law, we must discuss with the Ministry of Interior how it can be amended. Just extending the opening hours by 2 hours to the point of holding a public hearing. and brought into the Cabinet Passed a decree published in the Royal Gazette Does it have to be that much? Since the Interior has governors for each province It is at the discretion of the governor. Can you join with the police? Or will it be an announcement by the Minister of Interior? or must use the power of the Prime Minister But if it is issued as a Royal Decree or entered into the Cabinet, the high season may already be over. Therefore, it must be rushed to the Cabinet meeting.
When asked what concerns he had, Mr. Anutin emphasized that there were both good and bad things. There are people who cheer and people who don’t. which we must listen to the people But the tourist zone has many tourists. We can consider it because those provinces will have some type of service establishment that already has a license. There probably won’t be any problems.
In addition, Mr. Anutin also revealed the results of today’s meeting that It’s a summary of what’s been working for the past 2 months. Including orders to be the practice guidelines for the next month. The urgent policy is social organization. He had a discussion with the Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police. The administrative department of the Ministry of Interior and the police, including local government. who have to work together to keep society in order They didn’t come in to cause conflict or compete for work. In fact, they didn’t exist, but sometimes the timing when they went in and the communication might be inaccurate. These events will not happen again.
