Benefits of Northeast Development poster, PPB-366 (Thai, Bangkok)

A Thai-language photo poster on development in northeast Thailand. A wide photograph of a graded village road with fences and a water carrier is ringed by five smaller photographs: land clearing, villagers digging a road, a medical team treating a patient, a temple under repair and a village well. The text says development has brought buses, water, electricity, radio and television. The tell is card-stacking: results are shown, with no failures or costs.

Benefits to the People from the Development of the Northeast

The development of the northeast carried out so far has brought benefits to the people that can be seen at once. It has made life in remote localities much better than before, so that passenger buses now reach them, there is water and electricity, radio to listen to and television to watch. The people also have more ways to earn a living and help themselves. For the full well-being of the people, development will continue according to the development plan, with the cooperation of development officials and the people without ceasing.
