In anticipation of the upcoming Prime Minister elections, Yuttapong, a key figure within the chosen party, spoke on the allegations levelled against their chosen candidate, Srettha. The accusations mainly emanated from a known figure, Chuwit. According to Yuttapong, the party would remain unswayed in their support for Srettha. He maintained that these accusations should be treated as an issue for those within the ambit of the Pheu Thai-led coalition to address. “This controversy is purely a concern for Pheu Thai and other supporting parties which have unitedly agreed to back Srettha as the successor for the Prime Minister’s role”, Yuttapong commented. The whole fiasco transpired from Chuwit’s allegations, blaming Sansiri, the property company previously under Srettha’s management, for unscrupulous deals during Srettha’s tenure as CEO. According to Chuwit, Sansiri conspired with the joint owners of a Bangkok-based Sarasin Road plot, located in the Lang Suan area, to evade substantial taxation.…
In response to a series of allegations directed towards Sansiri, Chairman of the Board, Apichart Chutrakul vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

As the clock ticks into the future of automotive evolution, the Thailand Automotive Institute (TAI) projects an impressive leap in electric vehicle (EV) sales. 2022 could mark a defining moment in Thailand’s automotive history with anticipated sales reaching a staggering 50,000 units. This audacious prediction stems from a backdrop of potential hurdles, such as dwindling consumer purchasing power, widespread household debt, and more stringent auto loan conditions dictated by major banking institutions.

Part of these plans culminated in last year’s cabinet assent on a series of incentive packages. These packages, laden with tax breaks and subsidies, were aimed at fostering the growth of EV manufacturing…
