Welcome to the heart of Nonthaburi, where the air buzzes not with the usual city hum, but with the resolute words of Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. Picture this: a meeting room alive with fervor as Mr. Thavisin, armed with piercing conviction, labels illicit lending practices what they truly are—“modern-day slavery.” This isn’t just talk, my friends. This is the spark igniting a governmental crusade against the shadows of illegal loans and the murky waters of loan sharks.
The stage is set, the decree vocalized: a full-scale crackdown on this parasitic economy has been vaulted to the top of the national agenda. Prime Minister Srettha is staking no less than the wellbeing of the citizenry in this fight, daring to dream of a future free from the chains of debt-induced fear.
“We’re not just polishing the government’s image here,” Mr. Srettha declares with gravity. “We’re in the business of renewing hope, of painting smiles back on the faces that have been too long clouded by worry.”
In a move that marks a relentless pursuit for justice, avenues shimmer open for beleaguered debtors. Dial that Damrongtham Centre hotline at 1567, or set foot in your sanctuary, the local district office, by the beckoning date of February 29. A staggering surge of 75,199 souls and counting, wrestling with 3.82 billion baht of crippling debt, are already reaching out for this lifeline.
The Royal Thai Police, too, isn’t idling by. A dedicated suppression center is now operational, reachable through the streamlined digits of 1599. And for those who crave even more direct intervention, the Prime Minister’s own hotline, 1111, stands sentinel.
Complaints of nefarious loan sharks aren’t destined to just pile up—they are the match fueling immediate action. Riot gear on, Mr. Srettha articulates a straightforward path: complain, arrest, and for the persistent troublemakers, swift prosecution awaits.
But what of peace, you ask? Fear not, for mercy has its place at this table. The state, a guiding hand, offers a sanctuary for mediation, for peaceful reconciliation. Once fiery adversaries, now potential allies, will pen an accord sanctified by the sacred Interior Ministry system—each debt’s fate sealed with a bespoke directive, tailor-made in terms, interest, and timeline.
But this is no one-and-done fairy tale—our vigilant Office of the Prime Minister keeps a watchful eye, ensuring promises made are promises kept, with the willingness to broker further negotiations or, should darkness rear, pursue the full extent of the law.
Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, in a clarion call, warns lenders: permit your debtors their due passage to register. He who dares wield the blunt instrument of vandalism only hastens their descent into the scalding waters of legal comeuppance.
It’s an era of reclamation, a society reborn from the shackles of illicit interest rates and the shadows of monetary fear. This is the story of Nonthaburi today—no, this is the dawn of Thailand’s tomorrow.
