“Meetings like the one being held here in Phuket today, where people can exchange ideas with people from other provinces will make the drafting process more effective.
“Phuket is the forth province we have visited. We have previously visited Songkhla, Nakorn Sawan and Ayutthaya where locals were very interested in joining the meeting with us.
“There were always thousands of people in attendance because they feel this is an important issue which will affect their live.
“The next provinces we will visit include Udon Thani, Ubon Ratchathani, Narathiwas, Phitsanulok, Phetchburi and other eight provinces. Locals as well as people from nearby provinces are welcome to attend and give their input,” he added.
