Entering ChinaThai Prime Minister Petuntan plans to visit China on February 5, 2025.
The day before her departure, she publicly ordered: cut off all the electricity in Myanmar! Crack down on all electric fraud crimes in the park!
It is reported that the proposal came from Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Putang – “We don’t need to flood Myanmar with good intentions to supply electricity, as long as the line is illegal, the power will be cut off immediately, there is no excuse!” ”
At this point, the harmful industry led by Myawaddy, Myanmar, will usher in a larger-scale blow – Thailand, which has fired the “first shot” in ASEAN.
The area on the other side of Mae Sot, starting with a power outage, will eventually be razed to the ground.
At the same time, before Petuntan’s visit to China, the Sino-Thai high-speed railway approved 340 billion!

Prime Minister Petuntan directed:
Directly cut off water and electricity to Myanmar! Fight against wire fraud with all your might!On February 4, 2025, Thai Prime Minister Petuntan gave clear instructions at a cabinet meeting on the issue of water and electricity supply along the border between Thailand and neighboring countries. She asked Thailand’s Security Council (NSC) to strengthen oversight of water and electricity management in border areas.
If there is conclusive evidence of violations, a meeting of the National Security Council should be convened immediately by Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Phumtham Wechayachai to discuss and formulate further measures.
Petuntan stressed that the interests and security of the Thai people and the country must be fully considered when making decisions. She said that if the situation is really serious and affects national security or the normal life of residents in border areas, decisive measures should be taken to cut off water and electricity supplies to ensure that the problem is properly resolved.
Below, Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Puthong (Thaksin’s camp) announced that Myanmar’s power supply would be cut off immediately.

Prime Minister Petuntan:
Accelerate the implementation of the budgets of various ministries and strengthen the fight against security and transnational crimeAt the cabinet meeting, Thai Prime Minister Petuntan asked ministries to speed up the allocation and implementation of investment budgets. During the meeting, she stressed the need for the Ministries of Transport, Agriculture and Cooperatives, Home Affairs and Defence to move forward with their respective budget plans as soon as possible and to follow up on the progress of the work at the end of March.
To ensure that the funds are used on time, the Department of Comptroller General, which is part of the Ministry of Finance, will assist ministries in expediting budget disbursements as planned. At the same time, the Prime Minister instructed the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance to follow up as soon as possible to ensure that all departments are implementing the set targets. She pointed out that this work is an important factor in promoting the country’s economic development.

Enhance security measures and combat transnational crime
Petuntan also highlighted the need for the relevant ministers to strengthen management and adopt stricter security measures against transnational crime and tourist security, especially to prevent transnational criminal groups from using Thailand as a transit point for crime. She pointed out that in recent years, transnational criminal activities such as call center gangs have been rampant and must be closely monitored and cracked down.

Thailand has a shot!
Cut off Myanmar’s electricity supply immediately!Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Phumtham Wechayachai responded to the cut-off of electricity in Myanmar’s border areas, saying the NSC had found links between cross-border power supply and call center gangs. He stressed that the supply of electricity is a major issue related to the security of Thailand.
It is reported that Thailand’s electricity supply to Myanmar began from 1992 to 1994, when Thailand’s Cabinet made two relevant decisions.
First resolution: to allow the supply of electricity to Myanmar.
The second resolution: to allow the sale of electricity according to the actual situation at the border, no longer need to be submitted to the cabinet for consideration, only in accordance with the relevant policies.
According to the relevant regulations of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), especially Articles 51.1 and 51.2, the PEA has the right to stop the supply of electricity if it is deemed to affect border security. Therefore, the supply of electricity to Myanmar this time is in line with this regulation.
He also sternly warned the power authorities not to ignore the security risks in Thailand and not to blindly provide electricity at the expense of the country’s interests. “We are not people who are overflowing with kindness and cannot supply electricity at will with a charitable mentality,” he stressed. When it is broken, it is broken. ”

Putten:
The impact of cross-border crime is severe, and the power supply is stoppedPhumtham Wechayachai pointed out that the current security and stability problems in the country are mainly affected by criminal activities such as call center gangs.
He said data provided by the Cyber Crime Suppression Center showed that more than 500,000 Thais fell victim to scams between June 2022 and June 2024, causing economic losses of more than 60 billion baht.
These criminal activities not only threaten public safety, but also involve multiple security issues such as the economy.
Poitang stressed that the PEA has the right to reduce or suspend the supply of electricity in accordance with the terms of the contract if it is confirmed that the electricity supplied by the Electricity Authority (PEA) is being used to support telephone scams or transnational criminal gangs. A series of measures are aimed at ensuring the safety of Thailand and preventing the misuse of electricity resources for criminal activities.
He expressed dissatisfaction with the phenomenon of mutual blame in the implementation process of the relevant departments. He pointed out that the parties concerned should not use “not receiving instructions” or “not knowing” as an excuse to shirk responsibility. As long as there is conclusive information, immediate action should be taken, rather than procrastination.

“Immediate power outage, no excuses”
On February 3, 2025, Phumtham Wechayachai said he had ordered the NSC to convene a meeting of relevant units such as the Local Electricity Authority (PEA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the police and the military to discuss the issue of electricity supply. The meeting confirmed that the supply of electricity has had a real impact on Thailand’s security. Putang mentioned that he had just received a written report from the safety committee that the issue did affect security in Thailand.
Poitang further emphasized that the PEA can take direct action under the existing authority even without waiting for a formal notice from the safety committee. He also revealed that there are reports of an unusual increase in electricity consumption, which needs to be taken seriously rather than continuing to supply electricity blindly. Based on the current situation, he believes that the gradual reduction of the electricity supply may be too slow to deal with the current serious problems.
He announced that on the same day the Safety Committee would be formally instructed to inform the PEA of the power cut-off and not allow the relevant departments to pass the buck to each other and delay. “We have to act now to stop fighting each other as we are now,” he said. If the responsible unit does not implement it quickly, I will directly transfer someone to assist in handling it, and I must implement it immediately from today. ”
Puttang also stressed that according to the relevant regulations, cutting off the power supply does not need to be submitted to the cabinet for approval. If no action is taken by the relevant departments within today’s time, he will seconded staff to assist the Government in its work and ensure timely handling. He asked the relevant units to assess the measures themselves and report the results to him.
Poitang once again reiterated that it is the responsibility of the PEA to act as soon as evidence is available. If society and people in border areas are aware of the seriousness of the problem, but the relevant authorities have not taken action, then it must be thoroughly investigated.

“I order, in my capacity as deputy prime minister, to cut off the power immediately!”
Phumtham Wechayachai made it clear that as Thailand’s deputy prime minister in charge of security, he could directly order the power supply cut without the approval of the Cabinet or Prime Minister Petuntan. He stressed that the relevant departments must immediately implement the order to ensure substantive results. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must also fulfill its responsibilities and cannot continue to leave it alone. For those who are still waiting for instructions or passing the buck, he warned that drastic measures will be taken.
“Today’s order has been made very clear, the power must be cut off immediately, and no longer ask why the PEA is delayed,” Puttang further noted. Don’t just think about selling electricity, the immediate losses far outweigh the gains from electricity sales. As for whether there are other entanglements of interests, I don’t know, but in any case, the matter must be resolved as soon as possible. ”
Asked by reporters if he needed to consult with Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Anutin Charnvirakul at a cabinet meeting, Puthang responded that he had already communicated his position through the media and would again issue a formal directive through the NSC.
The reporter also asked whether he would take other measures other than to send personnel to assist if the relevant departments still did not take action. In response, Putang responded: “Transferring people to assist the government is already a very strict measure, and as for other means, decisions will be made according to the specific violations.” ”

“Myanmar needs to be held responsible!”
Asked if the power cuts were limited to the Shwe Kokko and PPP Park areas in Myanmar, Phumtham Wechayachai responded: “It depends on the actual situation. I have given clear instructions confirming the seriousness of the problem and that effective measures must be taken to address it, rather than delaying it. He stressed that the relevant departments need to take concrete actions to implement the measures and no longer pass the buck to each other.
In a reporter’s question, it was mentioned that the Myawaddy region of Myanmar accounts for about 90% of the local electricity consumption, and if the power is cut off, the entire region will be in a power outage. To this, Puttang responded: “The Myanmar side needs to manage the personnel in its jurisdiction. If these regions are allowed to cause problems for Thailand, they must also bear the corresponding responsibility. We need to address the issues associated with the call center gangs immediately, and if the Myanmar side fails to deal with the consequences, they will be held accountable. ”
He further emphasized: “We are not people who are ‘doing good’ and cannot just provide electricity and remain silent when the other side abuses power resources and creates problems. ”
In addition, Pu Tang also mentioned that he will go to the Mae Sot border area of Tak as appropriate. The Ratchamanu Task Force, the task force responsible for the region, has submitted information on Myanmar’s electricity supply to Thailand’s Local Electricity Authority (PEA). If the two sides can successfully coordinate, he will personally go to the site for further investigation and supervision, Pu Tang said.

On February 4, Thai government spokesman Jirayu Huangsap held a press conference at the government building to announce that the Thai Cabinet had approved a resolution to cooperate with the Thai and Chinese governments to develop the second phase of the high-speed rail system. The project, which aims to promote regional connectivity, involves the construction of a high-speed rail from Bangkok to Nong Khai. The route of the second phase of the project is from Nakhon Ratchasima to Nong Khai, with a total length of 357.12 kilometers and a total investment of 341,351.42 million baht.

Deploy an important agenda for an upcoming visit to ChinaThai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra gave a number of instructions at a February 4 cabinet meeting on his upcoming official visit to China from February 5 to 7. She stressed that the visit will focus on promoting and following up on major cooperation projects with China in the fields of economy, trade and investment.
Petuntan said the two sides will accelerate the promotion of long-term investment cooperation, especially in key areas related to green and digital transformation in the future. Specific cooperation directions include electric vehicles (EV), semiconductor, and data center (data center) industries.

At the same time, she instructed to continue to move forward with the Land Bridge Project and to prepare for investment projects from China.
In response to the interest shown by Chinese investors, Thailand will actively open up cooperation opportunities to attract more Chinese enterprises to participate in investment projects.

Promote people-to-people exchanges and cultural cooperation
In terms of promoting people-to-people relations between China and Thailand, Petuntan stressed the need to accelerate human resource development, enhance Thailand’s adaptability to future development, and support cooperation in the field of cultural exchanges between the two countries. In particular, she mentioned that it is necessary to further promote the development of cultural industries and international cooperation through “soft power”, and strengthen the interconnection and exchanges between the two peoples.

Petontan, actions speak for themselves
Thailand and Myanmar are incompatible in their industrial parks, and the collusion of small-scale military and police at the border is not the overall will of this tourism country.
Every year, a large number of Thais are abducted and deceived by gangs in the Burmese and Cambodian parks to work – Thailand itself is also a victim, and also has the same fear and gnashing of teeth as Chinese tourists.
Completely cutting off Myanmar’s power supply, Thailand is not only for “Chinese tourists can return to generate income”, but also for themselves, for Thailand’s safety, and for more people to no longer be deceived and victimized.
Since the goal is the same, then the alliance between China and Thailand will be full of high consistency, and Thailand will no longer care about the huge losses caused by the power outage, and as Petuntan and Putang said – Thailand must not make that money in Myanmar!
Money, everyone wants to earn.
But a crime is a crime, and it must be cut to the roots.
The yellow-robed Buddha country finally showed the “King Kong angry eyes” in the combination of rigidity and softness, and subdued the demons against the border line of the neighboring country that hurt the heavens and reason.
The time was just right, on February 4, less than a day before Petuntan’s visit to China. Those due sincerity, Thailand has taken out openly. In addition to cutting off the Myanmar line, the acceleration of the China-Thailand high-speed railway is also on the agenda.
Action and determination are her safety gifts for Chinese tourists, and their actions are worth a thousand words.
The power cut will not make Myanmar’s illegal industries and dens disappear instantly, but as long as Thailand strikes this punch, there will be countless powerful measures to “destroy the world”, until those “park dens, pits and abduction” will never have a chance to stand up.
As long as a tourist is still worried, Thailand will fight it one punch at a time, mercilessly, to the flesh, actively creating difficulties for Myanmar’s electric fraud and gray industry, and trying to guide it to disappear.
Just as the day before the Thai prime minister came to China, he was as simple and direct as he was, drawing a clear line with those “scourges” in Myanmar.
After all, even if there are no external power purchase channels, those park dens can still use Myanmar’s local electricity and generators.
As a result, Thai Deputy Prime Minister Puthong proposed that while Thailand does its best to do its own crackdown, all the pressure will be put on Myanmar’s internal management, and your own territory should also be responsible! Join the Blow! Defend it!
The line is drawn.
Thailand will next fulfill its promise to complete the “double blockade” of the Thai-Myanmar border, the military and police system will begin to strictly investigate “Thai-Myanmar collusion”, and border checkpoints will begin to block all tourists, even hotels and gas stations.
When the job is complete, Thailand, which leads by example, will have enough reason to target Myanmar, and the rest of the world will also see at a glance that in their own efforts to defend the results, they will ask: whose source? Whose problem?
The current Thai-Myanmar border has entered a state of tension.
All transit tourists must take the initiative to submit itinerary evidence and route certificates, submit all return ticket and accommodation information, and accept the security mechanism of each country for tourists, otherwise, they will be treated as “potential park personnel” and will not be released.
The Myawaddy gang in Myanmar, which has been hit by all sides and cannot hold its breath, wants to flee back to Cambodia? Never allowed!
The Thai military and police have set up a “raid net” on the border, and any gang will be arrested as soon as it appears, and any phone card and equipment that dares to be transported will be destroyed…
One clue after another, the Thai military and police will solve the case one by one until the victims in the case can be recovered and the park is uprooted.
The details of the scene are that there is no way back for Thailand at the moment.
This time, Thaksin’s camp is by no means coaxing people with “sweet words”.
The pattern of Thailand’s upper and lower houses will provoke each other, supervise each other, and criticize each other – as long as Thaksin’s Thai camp still allows a single wire to exist, the entire Petuntan cabinet will definitely be criticized by all walks of life, and in a series of “replays of the original words” in the face, it will be scolded half to death by the Thai people…
Naturally, Thai netizens are also tired of hearing all the “verbal promises” and “repeated assurances”, so that in the future, they will only lock in what they do in reality.
And those propaganda paradoxes of “tourism has long been safe” can’t withstand the accident of “another tourist leaving the country in Thailand and losing contact”, and it can’t stand it again.
This is the only opportunity for Thailand to repair the trust of “tourists’ worries” in the current tourism safety assessment.
Tourists, who can’t afford the disappointment after repeated exuberance, don’t want to listen to the far-fetched explanations of “the recurrence of old diseases”.
All superficial efforts require the precipitation of hard work after all, and the final result of being responsible for the result.
This is the bottom line of Thailand’s “persuasiveness”, which is better than all rumors and clarifications after the incident.
Thailand.com, our expectation for Thailand’s change is not to help Thailand to generate more “tourism income”, but to hope that Thailand can answer the question that tourists have been waiting for and has nothing to do with Myanmar through practical actions.
Thailand is not a “transit place”, so any suspicious person from Thailand to a neighboring country deserves the most bottom-line and toughest investigation.
This is not an excuse for Thailand to be unrelated to itself, nor is it a difficult investigation for tourists – this should be the original order, the basic security guard.
I wish Thailand the most important step and wish Petuntan a complete success in his visit to China.
Whether Thailand is safe or not, a question that has been debated for many days, does not need to be answered as soon as possible, because any long-term popularity that is not based on what has been done is not a convincing answer.
Therefore, we will observe and wait for the time being, and give space to Thailand and the light of friendship to this country.
Let Thailand’s new safety and perfection sprout and grow after the “King Star Incident”, which is consistent with the nature of nature’s thick and thin, moisturizing things silently, and finally flourishing and towering trees.
Under the shade, tourists naturally return to enjoy the shade and watch safely.
Thailand, with only 64 million people, has a serious aging population. It is a “small country in Southeast Asia” described by the arrogant group on the Internet, and it is also the old Siam in the impression of “a ladyboy riding an elephant at war” in the impression of a rumor-monger who has never arrived.
But it is trying to block the Thai-Burmese border on its own, with a large budget, which can never be blocked; is also willing to stand up for the safety of tourists, regardless of any losses, cut off power and network, and put pressure on Suqidu to let Myanmar clean up the portal; Prefer to concentrate more military and police around Tak Province, day and night, to prevent any tourist from approaching the “dangerous crime place”, whether he or she is willing or not…
Seriously, such a “flawed” but never-give-up Thailand is touching…
