It has good results for Thailand. When the United States Want to choose a country in ASEAN to meet and talk with China China offered to meet in Thailand. Because China trusts Thailand the most. Thailand still has potential that has been neglected.

Foreign workers registered in the system will send their income back to their own country approximately every month. 100 billion baht, asking if something like this will work, we have to accept the truth that Foreign workers who come to work in our country They will work in occupations that Thai people no longer do, such as working in fish head cutting factori es, construction work, and fishing because Thai workers have adapted to become skilled workers.
