The latest poem, the fifth by the premier, has touched upon the principle of Pracha Rath, initiated by his government to support the grassroots economy. Maj-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd, the government’s spokesperson, said Prayut wished to see people – particularly those in farming areas –embrace the right approaches, especially the King’s science and Pracha Rath. This is not the first time that Prayut has written a poem for farmers. The poem urged them not to give up if they encountered struggles along the way when working for the people, and to use their wisdom instead to overcome problems. The poets were split over the PM’s verse, and some appended new stanzas to his efforts.
