Since the beginning of 2015, the government has disbursed THB 9 billion (£0.2 billion) on infrastructure projects, out of the total THB 68 billion (£1.3 billion) budgeted. Half of the contracts for the government’s road and water management projects have been signed and it is expected that about THB 10 billion (£0.2 billion) worth of projects will begin construction in the second half of the year.
