He said that PM Prayut Chan-o-cha made short-notice visits because he did not want to receive formal welcoming ceremonies. He said Prayut wanted to see the progress of work himself and hear about problems affecting projects. “The prime minister does not want to find faults in anyone. The spokesman also dismissed media reports that the prime minister has made “surprise visits” to ministries without informing the bureaucrats beforehand. At least the ministers were notified,” the spokesman said, adding that he did not think the visits put extra pressure on ministry officials.
