Cheerful atmosphere as Anutin reveals a talk with top CEOs lasting over two hours, noting it left him feeling 'deaf.' He said people of this level do not come to talk casually. The discussion included inviting them to complete a questionnaire and sharing candid thoughts about which government projects the Prime Minister wants to end.
On 15 May 2026 at 19:20 GMT+7 at the Government House, reporters reported that after a joint meeting between the government and the private sector lasting more than two and a half hours, Anutin invited business leaders to take a group photo inside the Thai Khu Fah building. Afterwards, the Prime Minister, business leaders, and top entrepreneurs walked down from Thai Khu Fah building to Santi Maitri building to host a dinner. The dinner featured Thai Fusion Set dishes such as pomelo salad tart, sweet shrimp with watermelon, and three-colored rice with stir-fried chili and grilled fish with herbs. When asked about the discussion, Anutin exclaimed, “Imagine, people of this caliber for over two hours; they don’t come here to chat casually.” When asked again about the atmosphere of the conversation, Anutin laughed and said, “It was deafening.”
Reporters noted that during this meeting, the government sought opinions by having private sector representatives complete a questionnaire asking which measures or policies they would like the government to discontinue to assist in future policy framing. There was also a question inviting them to share personal messages to the Prime Minister, if given one minute to speak privately.
Additionally, reports state that next time, the government plans to listen to views from financial institution executives, finance companies, and financial business groups in a meeting at the Government House to gather further suggestions.
