Thailand’s Culture Ministry sponsored a “Fund for Quality
of Life” fair at the Central department store in Chonburi with Gov. Khomsan
Ekachai attending.
The event was played out in all of Thailand’s 76 provinces Aug. 25-26 to
present the results of government works by inviting organizations such as
BAAC, Government Savings Bank, Krungthai Bank, Thai Women Empowerment Fund
and other funds.
The event was for local residents to receive services from important
governmental projects, including the Village Fund, SML Fund, Thai Women
Empowerment Fund, initial fund for new Thai graduates, National Health
Security Local Fund, first home and first car project, agriculture credit
card, temporary termination of debt payment, credit for farmers and
insurance for crops.
Khomsan said the government-meets-citizens activity allowed residents to
open credit, meet the Excise Department to provide first-car services, or
serve the Thai Women’s Empowerment Fund and many other beneficial services.
There were many other public agencies serving citizens and presentation of
40 agriculture credits by BAAC along with a classical Thai dance performance
from Alangkarn Theatre, Thai magic show by the Tuxedo Show and a white-face
comedy.
Culture Minister Sukumol Kunplome said the first anniversary of the Pheu
Thai government is considered as a good opportunity to inform Chonburi
citizens of the policies implemented by the government for their benefit.
Apart from receiving beneficial services during the event, citizens also
shopped the various merchandise put on sale by the government. (CPRD)
