He will not be holding bilateral discussions with anyone, his interpreter will !    Nobody is interested in him or his pet EEC scheme and he cannot converse with anyone apart from his own entourage.  Just a very expensive break from facing awkward questions in his own Parliament and all paid for by the good old Thai Taxpayer !

Khun Prayut Chan O Cha has a busy week ahead in the US.

As indicated, he will hold discussions with several other foreign leaders and he may hold talks with president Trump at some stage.

I'm just glad it's him and not one of his recent predecessors as I just don't think they are prime minister material, especially with the high heel shoes and matching Harrod's handbag and purse.   lol

One of the biggest challenges to Thailand's Universal Healthcare Program is Aging with 20.5 million seniors or 32% of total population projected by 2040.

  • In rural areas, members of tight-knit communities often co-operate with the government , but they face a shortage of manpower especially among those who are able to take care of bed-bound patients, said the NESDB.
  • In urban areas, there are sufficient physicians but not enough volunteers to visit patients or elderly people at their homes. There is a limit to secondary care services.

Approaching a problem isn't the same as solving a problem.

Even recently the government has talked about needing more healthcare data to even frame Thailand's healthcare requirements before considering specific policies (ie., co-payments) and mechanisms to meet the challenges of Universal healthcare in Thailand.

I expect Prayut's speech to be mostly a salutary pep talk with little workable content.
