“Settha” pays respects to Phra Phrom Mongkol Watcharajarn. The younger brother of the Supreme Patriarch told the Prime Minister “I’m a bit tired” and asked the MPs to help support him. The Prime Minister admitted to being tired and hopes that everyone will go to the area more often. Listening to the voices and suffering of the people at 2:00 p.m. on May 12, 2024, Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister and the delegation Travel to Wat Sri Suriyawongsaram Worawihan. Na Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang District, Ratchaburi Province Pay respect to the principal Buddha image in the temple before Phrakhru Worakijkoson. Assistant Abbot of Wat Sri Suriyawongsaram Worawihan will tell the history and take a tour of the beauty inside the 150-year-old temple. After that, the Prime Minister and the delegation bow down and worship Phra Phrom Mongkol Watcharajan (The younger brother of Somdej Phra Ariyawongsagatayan Somdej Phra Sangharaja Sakon Maha Sanghaparinayaka) at the temple library. Upon arrival, the Prime Minister opened a cone to offer candles, rafts, Thai thai cloth, which Phra Phrom Mongkol Watcharajarn A replica of the Buddha image with a lap width of 5 inches was given to the Prime Minister. Ready to discuss Dhamma By saying to the Prime Minister that “I’m a bit tired,” as the Prime Minister said after completing his mission in Ratchaburi Province. Will continue to travel to Phetchaburi province. And tonight will stay overnight in Phetchaburi province. Phra Phrom Mongkol Watcharachan Therefore he said again: “I’m a bit tired.” The Prime Minister replied again, “No, OK. Yes, I can stay.” Phra Phrom Mongkol Watcharajarn He then said further: I heard the news that I would be traveling to the temple and was happy that the Prime Minister came to visit the temple. Mr. Settha revealed that today in Ratchaburi province we went to many places together. Especially coming to listen to problems in the area. including water, agriculture, and tourism and the people’s farming areas When Phra Phrom Mongkol Watcharajarn said that this year is very hot, the Prime Minister replied that, in fact, Kanchanaburi and Ratchaburi are very fortunate provinces with many water sources. It just requires effective management. Better than many provinces that have no water at all. There are also many horticultural crops. Especially the aromatic coconut with a large export value Next year, water management must be done better to avoid any impacts. And yesterday (May 11, 2024) I boarded a helicopter to go to Sangkhla Buri District. Kanchanaburi Province I saw the amount of water. especially at Vajiralongkorn Dam The water has gone down a lot and is very dry. Tree stumps can be seen. But it is considered fortunate that the Royal Irrigation Department has managed it reasonably well. I understand that in another 1-2 months it will be the rainy season. There would be no problem with drought. Phra Phrom Mongkol Watcharajarn said that if every dam could manage water and store water Farmers will have enough water to use, causing the Prime Minister to reply that At present, there is a lot of expansion of the industrial sector. Therefore it is important. In addition to consumer use must also be used to preserve the ecosystem All included for use in industrial systems. This caused some periods to have problems between the industrial and agricultural sectors. The more large industrial plants will be established in Thailand. Water must be managed well. Both about finding water sources Canals and irrigation systems I admit that I never thought that the industrial sector would have this much demand for water. Moreover, from visiting the area, I understand that if Thailand is not flooded or drought-prone. It will give us a much higher income. Because the government must compensate farmers. If we can do this, agricultural production will be much higher. Therefore, water management is a challenge for all agencies involved. Therefore, water must be managed well. Divide the ration appropriately. “I believe that the government agencies understand the issue very well. especially the Royal Irrigation Department that if it is not managed well it will be a problem For example, Ubon Ratchathani Province. Every year during September-October It will be flooded for several weeks. But last year we went into management. Go talk to the Royal Irrigation Department. Go to the area to manage water issues. Make this year Ubon Ratchathani The water didn’t flood at all. It shows that it all depends on management. Both about dredging canals creating a water source which requires a budget We therefore try to allocate a sufficient budget. Because there are 10 million farmers, but many things depend on their attention and rely on local MPs who need to talk. Frequent visits by the government and all ministers In fact, we do not focus on being in an air-conditioned room. We want them to go to the area, whether they are MPs from the same party as the Prime Minister. or not We ourselves try to reach it. and try to listen to problems And above all else, MPs are representatives of the people. Everyone has good wishes for the people. No matter what party you belong to. Here, if we listen and come help fix it. I believe that everyone will live together happily. And it is a duty that we must do today.” The Prime Minister further stated that the truth is that not every province lacks water. In many provinces, there is still water. We just have to manage it. Simply put, we have to pay attention. If we don’t go to the area Either an adult or a minister Some of them are very old. The Prime Minister turned to Mr. Sermsak Phongpanich, Minister of Tourism and Sports. Before going on to say But still diligent And he still goes to the area all the time, causing Mr. Sermsak to raise his hands to pay respects because if he doesn’t go to the area, he won’t know the suffering of the people. I don’t know how to help. Today I’m willing to be a little tired. But it is important. The government does not have only administrative duties. We have a duty to listen to reasons and suffering in every situation. provinces throughout the country as well You have to travel a lot. It was a visit to the area to listen to the suffering of the people. The government has a limited budget. You must prioritize your priorities well. What is important to do first? and deal with it quickly It is an urgent project that must be completed first. I admit that it is not easy because each MP has different needs. By traveling to the next mission Phra Phrom Mongkol Watcharachan Sprinkled holy water on the Prime Minister and his delegation. Ready to give a blessing at one point saying “In the name of the Sangha Wat Sri Suriyawongsaram Worawihan Please give blessings to the Prime Minister. and all Cabinet members May you be happy and prosperous. Run the country’s administration successfully with the happiness and happiness of the people. of the nation I would like to congratulate everyone. You help manage the country to be even more prosperous. Members of Parliament must support it.”
