Bangkok: "Thepthai" dissects Anutin's government policies, pointing out 5 missing points and urging the opposition to raise objections. Political observer Thepthai Senpong posted on his Facebook page, "Thepthai - Political Talk," stating that he would be discussing five policies outside of parliament.
According to Thai News Agency, on April 9-10, 2026, the government of Anutin Charnvirakul was scheduled to present its policy statement to the joint session of Parliament, divided into five policy areas: economic policy, foreign policy and security policy, social policy, disaster and environmental policy, and public administration and legal reform policy. However, each area did not yet have projects or plans that comprehensively addressed all of the country's problems.
Thepthai expressed concerns that several important policies have been overlooked and have not been given sufficient importance. As a former politician and a current political observer, he suggests that the government consider these issues and provide this information to the opposition to support their debates, objections, or suggestions for incorporating them into various policies. He proposed five key policy approaches.
The first is economic policy, which is essential, especially with the nation facing energy-related problems. The government should prioritize major energy structural reforms, focusing on both oil and electricity infrastructure. Reforming the entire energy structure will be challenging, impacting energy corporations that have consistently supported political parties, but Thepthai believes the government should prioritize the nation's interests.
The second is social policy, with drug addiction identified as the main issue. The government must take a serious approach to suppress drug trafficking, which has been a long-standing problem. Despite past governments declaring drug addiction a national agenda, the problem persists. Thepthai stresses the need for the government to prioritize the suppression of drug addiction to resolve this social problem.
The third area concerns political issues, particularly the constitution. The government has not seriously formulated a policy on constitutional amendment, and its proposals are vague. The constitutional amendment process was approved by a majority in a referendum, representing a national consensus. Thepthai urges the government to complete this amendment during its term to address the nation's problems.
The fourth area is environmental policy, with a focus on pollution, particularly PM2.5. The government must have a plan or enact clean air legislation, promoting the use of electric vehicles and fostering the development of a domestic EV industry to provide a sustainable solution.
The final area is public administration policies and legal reforms, emphasizing stricter law enforcement and updating outdated laws to combat corruption. The Corruption Perception Index ranks Thailand low, indicating a significant decline. Thepthai insists the government must prioritize addressing corruption to improve Thailand's standing.
Thepthai proposes that the government and the opposition bring these issues up for discussion in the joint parliamentary session so that the government can consider and implement them, allowing the public to be aware of the problems facing the country and help push the government to take action.
