The major ingredients are there.

But a good binding spice (catalyst) is missing. Thailand is just an object, a piece of land or 'well-run' system. We need to look more at 'people' -- in non-academic ways --. Ordinary people who live, work and die ordinarily are the major part of the country. The health and wealth of ordinary people make the country strong and livable.

"...อาจต้องใช้ความรู้ในการปรับปรุง และพัฒนา แบบ “ไม่ทำลาย”..." shows we care little about people (resource) and "would develop people only if we need to". By not developing people, we are "destroying" people!

In the future, our land may be 'hotter', seriously lacking in fresh water, severely contaminated by toxic chemicals, plagued by diseases, drugs, weakening defence capability (including economic immunity), ... We have yet to address 'risks' from diversity and variability (ie. we need 'plan B, C, ...').

Truely, a vision has not emerged. Should Thailand be full of farms and gardens producing food in healthy conditions, or littered with factories and polluted landscape? Should all people be more happy, or a few people be more wealthy?

If we do adopt 'sufficiency economy', let us create infrastructures that support 'sufficiency system' -- make that high priority with adequate funding and 'clear and accountable targets'.
