According to a report by Thai Post on October 28, 2026, Sihasak Phuangketkeow has publicly defended the Prime Minister’s frequent international travel.

By engaging directly with world leaders and international organizations, the government aims to secure economic and political advantages that benefit the country.
For residents and travelers, this news highlights the current administration's focus on active foreign policy.
