Thai Enquirer Summary
Political News
Thais will soon learn if the country will see another extension of the state of emergency
for another month. The prospect arose after the Centre for Covid-19 Situation
Administration (CCSA)’s subcommittee tasked with considering the easing of lockdown
restrictions agreed at a meeting yesterday (July 21) to propose extending the state of
emergency until the end of August.
The CCSA subcommittee’s decision will be proposed to the CCSA’s meeting
today (July 22).
Prime Minister and Defence Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha who chairs the
CCSA came out to defend the proposed extension of the state of emergency as he
said an extension has nothing to do with anti-government protests that has gained
momentum in the past few days.
He insisted that the state of emergency was still necessary because the existing
laws do not cover some aspects relating to controlling the COVID-10 pandemic,
and assured that it is not related to anti-government protests which can be dealt
with under public assembly laws.
Separately, Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha came out to confirm
that the line-up of new ministers for the upcoming cabinet reshuffle has been completed.
Gen Prayut insisted that there is no conflict between him and Deputy Prime
Minister Prawit Wongsuwan, also Phalang Pracharat Party (PPRP) leader, over
the potential list of new ministers. However, when asked by reporters if he made
the decision about the new ministers by himself, Gen Prayut insisted that the
choices were not based on a party quota system.
He went on to thank Phalang Pracharat. He said everyone has the right to talk but
the person who made the decisions is him.
After the vetting process, the list of potential new ministers will be forwarded to
His Majesty the King for approval after which they will take an oath of allegiance
before they start work.
The reshuffle has been triggered by the resignations of 6 ministers.
The issue in the reshuffle appears to be the energy portfolio after PPRP deputy
leader Paiboon Nititawan said the party wants to reserve the energy portfolio to
Suriya Juangroongruangkit, the incumbent industry minister.
Gen Prayut himself favours Pairin Chuchotethavorn, former deputy transport
minister and former CEO of PTT.
At the Phalang Pracharat Party (PPRP)’s meeting of MPs at 14.00 hrs yesterday (July
21), there are reports that PPRP MPs are trying to push for Deputy Prime Minister Prawit
Wongsuwan to take over the interior portfolio from incumbent interior minister Gen
Anupong Paojinda.
The meeting agreed that it wants Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan to
take over the interior portfolio, replacing Gen Anupong Paojinda. This is to have
Gen Prawit taken control of elections at all levels.
The proposal was pushed by Pai Leeke, a PPRP MP for Kamphaeng Petch.
The proposal got the overwhelming support of MPs but it will need to approval
from the party’s executive committee.
In an interview with the media afterwards, Gen Prawit has rejected the proposal
to double as Interior Minister. He simply said he could hardly walk. Other people
can take on the job.
Later at 16.00 hrs, the Phalang Pracharat Party (PPPR) organised a meeting of the party’s
executive committee chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan. The
meeting discussed the results of its meeting of MPs held early on which saw 5 names
proposed as new ministers for cabinet reshuffle. The meeting of MPs agreed to nominate
Gen Prawit for the Interior Minister post
Suriya Jungrungreangkit as the Energy Minister
Anucha Nakasai as the Industry Minister
Naruemon Pinyosinwat to the position of PM’s office minister
Suchart Chomklin as Labour Minister.
However, a source with the party said the list of nominees for cabinet posts under
the party’s quota proposed by the meeting of PPRP MPs yesterday (July 21) had
been rejected by Gen Prayut.
It is said that the PPRP will receive no more than 3 cabinet posts with 2
possibilities: One is Suriya tipped as the Energy Minister and Anucha as Industry
Minister while Suchart would likely be name the higher education, science and
innovations minister or PM’s office minister if Suthep Thaugsuban, of the Ruam
Phalang Prachachartthai Party, insisted to keep the labour portfolio.
Another possibility is that Suriya will be forced to keep the industry portfolio if
Gen Prayut insisted to give the role of the energy minister to Pailin
Chuchottaworn. Anucha will then be given the higher education, science and
innovations minister. That will leave Suchart to compete with Naruemon for the
PM’s office minister post.
Gen Prawit is expected to submit the PPRP’s nomination list to Gen Prayut today
(July 22).
Political analysts have come out to say that they feel that there is every likelihood that
outsiders would not come join the cabinet because there is already so much fiction from
the PPRP for outsiders.
They say that the 4 ministers of the Somkid Jatusripitak faction quit because of
the fiction in the PPRP and not many would have the guts to come to the Cabinet
with just strong opposition from the party members even though Prayut says that
it is his call to make the Cabinet reshuffle.
Flash mobs against the government have now spread all over the country.
Flash mob protests organised by university students and the general public
nationwide is set to continue today as well with various protests organized

The Pheu Thai Party had an annual general meeting (AGM) yesterday (July 21). During
the AGM, party leader Sompong Amornwiwat issued a statement calling on the
government to follow 4 demands to find a way out of the current political conflict
including:
The government must listen to the people and exercise patience to solve
problems and refrain from using force or violence on those with differing
views. Sompong also called for protesters of all groups to exercise their
right under the constitution and conduct peaceful rallies.
The government must support the drafting of a new constitution.
It is now time for the government to allow people to get back to work and
earn a living by turning the COVId-19 crisis into opportunity. Sompong
called for a 3-year exemption from any business obstacles to allow
operators to have enough time to resuscitate their business.
The government must pass laws in an urgent manner to allow the people,
especially small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to help raise their
bargain power in the market.
The Election Commission (EC) endorsed Wattana Sithiwang of the Palang Pracharat
Party as a new MP as a result of his win in the by-election in Lampang’s Constituency 4
despite electoral fraud complaints.
The EC insisted that it would continue to probe into complaints relating to vote-
buying and poll fraud despite its announcement of Wattana as the winner.
The poll agency reportedly sent letters to complainers including former election
commissioner Somchai Srisutthiyakorn who filed a complaint about poll fraud in
evidence.
On the progress on local elections, the Election Commission said it has finished drawing
up constituency boundaries for provincial administration organisations (PAOs) in 77
provinces.
The demarcation of constituency boundaries for PAOs of 19 provinces has been
published in the Royal Gazette, says EC chairman Itthiporn Boonprakong, adding
that the rest is to follow.
The EC also finished the demarcation of electoral boundaries for local
municipalities in 55 provinces. It expects to complete the drawing up of electrical
boundaries in 22 provinces soon.
Separately, Election Commission (EC) chairman Itthiporn Boonprakong confirmed that
the EC is confident to complete its investigation into donations given to 32 political
parties.
He said the EC has made good progress given that it was asked to handle
complaints regarding donations to nearly 100 parties. The EC is required to
examine history of those parties in details dated back to 3-4 years.

who are insured under Section 33 of the Social Security Act and have been contributing
to the social security fund for less than 6 months.
The approval is part of the government scheme to compensate employees who
have been affected by the COVID-19 crisis but are not covered by the Labour
Ministry’s 896.64-million-baht relief package. Around 59,776 workers who are
insured under Section 33 of the Social Security Act and have been contributing to
the social security fund for less than 6 months are among the targeted groups to

The selection committee for Governor of the Bank of Thailand (BoT) has come up with a
shortlist of 2 final contenders for the BoT’s top job, with one being an insider and the
other an external applicant.
The board has finalised 2 names as suitable people, according to Rangsan
Srivorasart, chairman of the selection committee. The committee has eliminated 4
the 6 candidates applying for the post after they were asked to give their visions
yesterday (July 21).
Four candidates who were given their visions yesterday are BoT insiders Mathee
Supapongse and Ronadol Numnonda; Tongjai Thanachanan, former head of
institutional business at Ayudhya JF Asset Management and Anusorn Tamajai,
director of business reform at Rangsit University, according to source with the
Central Bank.
Tongjai and Suchart did not meet the selection criteria, the source said.
The Government Lottery Office (GLO) board is pushing for the sales of lottery tickets
through the mobile phone channel.
The GLO board is set to hold a meeting this week to discuss impacts of the
COVID-19 outbreak on lottery ticket sales, according to a source with the Finance
Ministry. The board plans to propose key channels for selling lottery tickets to the
Cabinet, highlighting the mobile phone channel as the key strategy.
The GLO plans to hold a seminar with focus groups, especially all stakeholders,
to explain rules for different types of lottery tickets including a two- and three-
digit lottery game, the “12 Thai Zodiac” picture-based draw game and the

A leading medical profession came out to oppose the travel bubble plan which would
allow small groups of foreign tourists to visit Thailand.
Associate Professor Thira Woratanarat, a health expert at Chulalongkorn
University’s faculty of medicine, called for the government to scrap the idea
of a travel bubble scheme, saying that the idea should be shelved for another 6
months because of the high-risk of COVID-19 outbreak.
In his Facebook post, Thira said the global COVID-19 situation remains of
serious concern. New infections in several countries are still surging, with
more than 200,000 new cases in the past 24 hours and total infections
worldwide expected to pass 15 million.
He pointed that screening of arrivals at their departure point cannot be fully
trusted in that there is a chance that some infections escape detection.
Thira suggested that Thailand reduce its dependency on tourism, as a major
source of revenue, by shifting to other businesses until vaccines are widely
available to fight the spread of COVID-19.
Shares of Minor International Plc (MINT) surged more than 8.56% or 1.60 baht to close

baht. MINT shares shot up to the day’s peak of 20.50 baht before dropping to the lowest
at 18.90 baht.
KTB Securities (Thailand) said the key factors that pushed up MINT shares are
signs of improvement in the hotel business, the shareholders’ move to exercise
their rights to buy shares which MINT shares to trade at 17.50 baht and good
news about COVID-19 vaccine programs.
Krungsri Securities said MINT operating results in the second quarter 2020 is
expected to be the lowest point of this year. The brokerage house expect MINT to
report 5.8 billion baht in losses from ordinary results, compared to profit of 2.1
billion baht in the second quarter of 2019.
Prayut commented on the 4-5 star hotels raising their rates to take advantage of the policy
of the government to promote domestic tourism.
The cabinet has discussed this and if hotels raise their rates ‘beyond normal’ then
they will be blacklisted.
Prayut said that it would be on a working day and pocket money would be raised
to 900 baht from 600 baht
Total of 6,000 hotels have participated in this program
Total of 4 million people have registered so far and about 100,000 have already
