The cabinet noted a workshop proposal for five Deep South provinces (Songkhla, Satun, Yala, Narathiwat, Pattani): 44 urgent projects worth 1,269 million baht, plus 59 policy requests worth 62,336 million baht. Items relevant to businesses include revising Soft Loan conditions, cutting checkpoint procedures, a one-stop business service, and dredging Songkhla and Pattani ports to 9-10 m. These are proposals still needing budget allocation through each agency's annual plan, so nothing is in force yet. If you trade or operate in the region, watch for Soft Loan changes and port access, and do not plan cash flow around them yet.
