'Inexperienced' PM keen to learn water management from Suphan Buri locals

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said on Friday that he was willing to learn from politicians and locals of Suphan Buri province, especially their water resource management model put in place by late former PM Banharn Silpa-archa, who had brought prosperity to the province in central Thailand.

In his first visit to Suphan Buri since becoming PM, Srettha was welcomed by Social Development and Human Security Minister Varawut Silpa-archa, leader of ​​the Chart Thai Pattana Party, at the residence of Praphatra Photasuthol, the party’s secretary-general.

Varawut, who is Banharn’s son, thanked Srettha for visiting the province to meet with locals and check on the water management model for agriculture.

The premier responded that as an inexperienced PM, he would love to learn from Chart Thai Pattana MPs and locals who are more familiar with solving problems in the province. Srettha also promised to visit Suphan Buri again in the future.
