Thais to support for proper physical exercises

BANGKOK, December 14 (TNA) - The government, through the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, plans to promote and support Thai people of all ages and genders across the country to have proper physical exercises for the sake of their good health. New Tourism and Sports Minister Weerasak Kowsurat announced the plan on Thursday, after a visit to his ministry by Thai Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak to brief the government's updated tourism policy. Weerasak told journalists that to make the plan practical, his ministry will develop basic sports at schools, specially trained by games masters, to ensure that Thai people have proper physical exercises since they are young. Besides, his ministry will look for prospective "Thai sport stars" since they are young to be intensively trained in all dimensions to become best athletes when they are grown-up. According to the minister, his ministry will soon hold a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan, who are the board chair of the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) and the National Olympic Committee of Thailand (NOCT), to discuss and review his ministry's sports policies.
