- Funding of over 20 million baht to upgrade the grandstand roof structure at the Eastern National Sports Stadium to enhance safety and usability.
- A long-term budget commitment of more than 19 million baht over 36 months for the lease of 25 central-use vehicles to improve administrative efficiency.
