Prayuth voices concern over aging society

Prime Minister Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha said Friday that Thailand must speedily adjust the state social welfare system, so that the needs of the elderly will be looked after in an appropriate fashion.

"It is an inherent Thai culture to take care of parents and the elderly as best we can," Prayuth said during his weekly TV programme.
 
"It is pleasing to note that people’s longevity has increased in this day and age but we still need appropriate measures to take care of this group of people."
