Guya said that although the political situation is having problems, it should not deteriorate.

If the demonstration of the NLD can be eased within 1-2 days, private consumption and investment confidence will improve, and the government can still work as usual.

It is emphasized that Thailand's economic foundation is good, and that it will not affect the overall economic growth.
