Thai media Daily News reported from Government House yesterday where a cabinet video-conference meeting chaired by PM Prayut Chan-o-cha took place. 

 

In the light of decisions to re-open the country to the Phuket Sandbox scheme on July 1st - and subsequent opening of three islands in Surat Thani - the PM accepted that the economy in Thailand was in a mess. 

 

It was therefore necessary to re-open the country before it was completely ruined.

 

In order to do this he admitted that some risks must be taken.

 

He based his comments on the state of the economy on his Digital Economy and Science ministry analysis. 

 

He said that all his ministries were pulling together.

 

In comments related to possible amendments to the constitution he ruled out the possibility of a referendum. 

 

He said that amendments must be reasonable. 

 

The issue is being debated today and tomorrow.
