The Prime Minister is preparing to open the Government House to welcome 10 major tycoons for the "Entrepreneurs Speak, Government Listens" forum to revive the economy and boost the country's competitiveness.
On 14 May 2026, Ms. Ratchada Thanadirek, spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office, announced preparations for the important forum "Entrepreneurs Speak, Government Listens" scheduled for 15 May. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has invited CEOs and senior executives from 10 of Thailand's largest industrial groups to discuss elevating relations into a full-fledged "economic partnership."
The list of attendees includes leading Thai tycoons and business figures: from the CP Group, Mr. Dhanin Chearavanont and Mr. Suphachai Chearavanont; Gulf Energy, Mr. Sarath Ratanavadi; Sahapat Group, Mr. Vaitit Chokwatana; retail/department stores, Mr. Suthisan Chirathivat (Central) and Ms. Supalak Ampuch (The Mall); energy/real estate/construction sectors, Mr. Kongkapan Intrajang (PTT), Mr. Thammasak Sethadudom (SCG), Mr. Pliw Trevisavvet (Ch. Karnchang), and Ms. Jareepon Jarukornsakul (WHA).
The government spokesperson emphasized that the Prime Minister aims to build an "accessible" government by providing a platform for the private sector to openly express issues, covering immediate tasks, four-year strategic plans, and proposals to abolish regulations that hinder business operations. This will help formulate policies that truly address economic sector needs, along with assessing CEOs' confidence index in the government over the next 12 months.
Following the discussions, the Prime Minister will host a dinner at the Santi Maitri Building, with Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University managing the catering to showcase Thai students' professional skills in service and creative economy sectors. The government reaffirmed its commitment to ongoing in-depth discussions with each industry to build investor confidence and create tangible new opportunities for the Thai people.
