Thailand - Government Continuing Major Projects

Somchai, the new prime minister, is supporting all big infrastructure projects. Although some old policies will remain the same he will be approving many new ideas. Somchai hopes to bring electric rail to Bangkok and the surrounding areas. This project alone will cost Thailand about 770 billion dollars on top of the 62.5 billion already approved for 4,000 natural gas buses for the mass transit authority. The new cabinet will also include a few outsiders to that they can take up economic portfolios. I think all of these new ideas Somchai has brought up will be very good for Thailand and their economy. He will be able to settle the political conflict they’ve been having and hopefully end the political turmoil.
