A public outcry over the rising prices of consumer goods prompted Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to defend his government's policies which, he claimed, were better suited to dealing with the economic crisis than many other countries.
Gen Prayut told assembled media at Government House on Friday that the coalition has been working continually to implement measures that both help people afford rising prices and also encourage and support those manufacturers who have been threatening to increase the prices of consumer goods due to high fuel costs and transport fees.
