Prime Minister Anutin Visits Buriram During Weekend Trip

On August 16, 2026, Thai Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul spent his weekend in Buriram province. During the visit, he engaged with local vendors and residents to discuss their current economic conditions. The Prime Minister was accompanied by Newin Chidchob, President of Buriram United Football Club, and Traisulee Traisoranakul, Secretary-General to the Prime Minister, in an informal setting.

During his interactions, the Prime Minister received positive feedback regarding the 'Thai Chuay Thai Plus' (60:40) program. Local vendors reported that the initiative has helped reduce household expenses while simultaneously increasing local sales and stimulating community cash flow. In response to this feedback, Anutin expressed his commitment to continuing policies that provide tangible benefits to the public and indicated that his administration is actively exploring additional economic stimulus measures.

For residents and visitors, this visit highlights the government's current focus on grassroots economic programs. While the Prime Minister has signaled an intent to expand these measures, specific details regarding future stimulus packages or modifications to the existing 60:40 scheme remain to be confirmed by official government announcements. The visit underscores the ongoing political and social connection between the leadership of the Bhumjaithai Party and the Buriram region, which remains a significant hub for local development and sports tourism.
