It is therefore time to have a better understanding of our past behaviour
and how it contributed to the present situation. We should be mindful of
the Sufficiency Economy thinking formulated by His Majesty King
Bhumibol Adulyadej in terms of its key principles of moderation,
rationality, and immunity. A better grasp of these concepts can help us
confront problems or crises and find solutions.
I would like to use this occasion to suggest to you what I believe to be
the four essential elements of the new normal in the development of
Thailand – the elements that will contribute to true and enduring change.
