Veerathai wished to spend more time with his family but would work to ensure a smooth handover to the new governor, said Chantavarn Sucharitakul, the governor’s assistant of communications and corporate relations.
Rungson Sriworasat, the president of the committee tasked with selecting a new governor, on Friday (May 22) announced that the process to seek a candidate to replace Veerathai had begun.
