Suksamruay, Minister Attached to the Prime Minister's Office, took an auspicious moment to enter the Government House, ready to perform any duties assigned by the Prime Minister. She vowed to give her best effort and expects work divisions to be announced soon.
At 11:30 a.m. on 7 April 2026 GMT+7 at the Government House, Ms. Suksamruay Wantaneeyakul, Minister Attached to the Prime Minister's Office, officially entered Building 1. She revealed that her team had moved into the office and prepared work equipment since 6 April. She also brought the sacred Phra Mongkol Ming Muang statue from Amnat Charoen province to her office for good fortune. Regarding the auspicious time for starting work, she said she chose a favorable moment. When asked about the time to pay respects to the Government House's sacred objects, she said she would do so together with the Prime Minister.
However, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, who is also Minister of Interior, has not yet assigned her specific responsibilities. She expects the Prime Minister to delegate tasks soon.
When asked about her goals as Minister Attached to the Prime Minister's Office, Ms. Suksamruay said she would commit fully once assigned specific duties. Asked if she planned to focus on any particular area, she said it depends on senior leaders. If they see she can handle certain tasks, she is ready to learn and accept guidance from civil servants with a sincere desire to work. She believes she can succeed.
Asked whether she felt excited about being a minister for the first time, Ms. Suksamruay said she is from Isan and has no political background. Her father, who finished only grade 2, is from Chachoengsao, and her mother is from Amnat Charoen. Despite lacking political roots, she entered politics and was chosen by the Prime Minister and executives of the Bhumjaithai Party to serve as Minister Attached to the Prime Minister's Office. She carries excitement, anxiety, and pride with her.
When asked if the public would become wealthy like her name suggests, Ms. Suksamruay laughed and said her name was given at birth by her father, and she has never changed it in 57 years. It reflects the beliefs of old Isan people. Her father had five children—four boys and her as the only girl—and he likely intended the name to combine the meanings of happiness and wealth.
