According to a report by Matichon Online, Minister of Labour Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn has formally proposed new leadership appointments for the Department of Highways and the Department of Airports to the Thai Cabinet. These administrative changes are currently under review by the government.

At this stage, the proposals are awaiting formal Cabinet approval. It remains to be confirmed which specific candidates have been selected for these roles and when the official transition of power will take place.

Further details regarding the implementation of these changes and their potential impact on ongoing infrastructure projects are expected to be released following the next Cabinet meeting.
