The Department of Skill Development has set up the Manufacturing Automation and Robotics Academy (MARA) at the Institute for Skill Development in Chonburi to upgrade Thai labour skill and create trainers for automation skills.

In a gesture to MARA Patani that all is not lost, Army Commander-in-chief General Chalermchai Sitthisart visited security checkpoints in Joh I Rong district on June 1. He was there to provide moral support to troops responsible for implementing the Safety Zone, Thai military officials said.
