The Cabinet sets an example by 'removing suits and lowering air conditioning' to encourage the public to save energy. Sophon points out that this must be done sustainably, as one day alone will not show results, while Sabida says this is a way to help the nation.
At 09:40 on 10 March 2026 at the Government House, Deputy Prime Minister Sophon Sarum spoke about energy reduction measures in today's Cabinet meeting. As Cabinet members, they serve as symbols leading the campaign to raise public awareness about saving electricity and energy. Therefore, they set an example by lowering air conditioning and not wearing suits to demonstrate this. If there is genuine cooperation, he believes it will be effective. He also supports work-from-home measures, as they are conscious of reducing electricity usage. However, this must be sustainable; doing it for just one day won’t have an impact. Regarding the reduction of vehicles in the motorcade, Sophon said he only has one vehicle and is unaware of others.
Meanwhile, Minister of Culture Sabida Thaiset said that not wearing suits today is primarily to suit Thailand's weather as much as possible. She also wants to invite the public to join in saving energy during this period, which she considers a way to help the nation. The Cabinet tries to set an example in this effort.
