+December 3, 2023, at 1630hrs, at Suwan Khuha district office, Nong Bua Lamphu province,
+Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Srettha Thavisin took a field visit to the province to
+follow up on policy implementation on narcotics prevention and poverty eradication.
+Upon arrival, the Prime Minister paid homage to Phraya Chai Chettha Thiraj City Shrine and the
+Monument of Thai National Defense Volunteers before listening to the briefing on “Nong Bua
+Lamphu Model” for preventing and addressing narcotics problem, and mental healthcare for
+illicit drug users.
+After the briefing, the Prime Minister stated that it was his intention to make Nong Bua Lamphu
+the first location for the cabinet retreat, as it is the province with the lowest per capita income.
+His visit is not to put on a façade or to boost the Government’s image, but to really observe
+people’s livelihood, and learn about their plights as a result of economic hardship and narcotics
+problem. The Prime Minister commended relentless effort of provincial public health officials and
+effectiveness of the community-led aspect of treatment for drug users in Nong Bua Lamphu,
+and in other provinces he visited, which have resulted in more community participation in illicit
+drug user care and less stigmatization of illicit drug users in the community and society.
+The Prime Minister, then, reviewed the troop of 6,000 village security guards who work under
+the “Nong Bua Lamphu Model” to prevent and address narcotics problem, and to take care of
+illicit drug users who have been diagnosed with mental health disorder.
