Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has responded to questions about whether Thailand needs to hold merit-making ceremonies for the nation following several major incidents. At 10:00 AM on July 14, 2025, at Government House, the Prime Minister and Interior Minister chaired a cabinet meeting, with the PM leading the cabinet from the Thai-Khu-Fah building to the Banchakarn 1 building. When journalists asked if merit-making ceremonies for the country were necessary given the string of disasters, the PM replied briefly: "Just do good deeds." Before entering the building, he attended a promotional event for a musical performance by Rattikarn Amloy (known as Nene), who participated in the American's Got Talent competition.
