Cabinet Heads to Udon Thani for Northeast Farmer Solutions

At 2:00 PM on October 27, 2026, at Government House, Prime Minister's Office spokesperson Ekaphap Phiaphiphat announced the cabinet meeting results. The Prime Minister instructed both government and opposition whips to set a clear date for the no-confidence debate. He also ordered the official mobile cabinet meeting in Udon Thani province on November 2-3, where he will preside over the opening of the World Horticultural Expo. The visit aims to deliver policies supporting farmers in the Northeast and other regions, with relevant ministries tasked to resolve farmers' issues as a priority.

Danucha Pichayanan, Secretary-General of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), stated that on October 28 he will consult with the Ministry of Interior and provincial agencies to define the operational framework for the mobile cabinet meeting, focusing on five areas: agriculture, food, drug problems, border trade development, and tourism development. Provincial proposals will be solicited.

The Udon Thani mobile cabinet meeting will resemble the previous one in Songkhla, without a fixed 50-million-baht-per-province allocation. Instead, projects will be accepted based on their relevance and necessity to local areas. Preliminary proposals include road development, hospitals, and drug rehabilitation centers. Projects already covered by agency plans will be redirected there. The total budget for proposed projects is expected to stay under 1 billion baht, similar to the Songkhla meeting, which focused heavily on flood response.
