    May 5, 2020 Thai Enquirer Summary Economic News The government pledged to spend around 400 billion baht on small-scale infrastructure projects, with the goal to create jobs over the next 3-4 months to shore up the local economy, according to Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak. Mr Somkid said the funds will be poured into provincial small-scale infrastructure projects with the aim of creating jobs. The Cabinet is set to consider later this month the framework of a new stimulus package, proposals for which will be submitted by state agencies, Mr Somkid said. The Agriculture Minister expects financial aid to reach farmers affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 from the middle of this month onwards and farmers are urged to quickly register for the financial assistance. The Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) said it is ready to transfer a financial aid of 5000 baht per month over a 3-month period (from May to July) to accounts of 10 million farming households from May 15. The cash handout scheme for farmers will require a total funding of 150 billion baht. The BAAC expects to transfer the fund to 1 million farming households per day. The Social Security Office (SSO) came under fire for slow compensation payments to laid-off workers amid speculation that the office is running short of money. The SSO came out to say that it has a total of 2.03 trillion baht in fund management as it had 1.35 trillion baht in funds and received 675 billion baht in returns from its investments.

The company aims to create a heaven on earth that enhances the customer's unique experience that enlivens individual sprit. The company has recently expanded to international territories such as the Philippines, Dubai and Egypt. International marketing demands for a different and more complex strategy than pure domestic marketing does, for there are a lot more competitors, uncertainties and cultural disparities, just to name some obstacles. The aim of this paper is to identify Dusit’s current position and strategy in the international market place, show its problems and opportunities and then give recommendations based on the theory of international marketing strategy. We first give an overview of the company and show its current financial performance, its brand and products, its organizational structure as well as the company’s culture and values. We then analyze the hotel industry and Dusit’s competitors. These sections are followed by an overview of international marketing strategy theory. We then analyze Dusit’s current and past strategy, state its problems and opportunities and show currently implemented strategies aiming to tack these problems and opportunities. The last section shows our recommendations, based on the 7 Ps, in detail. Executive Summary This text shows that Dusit is a very unique 5-star hotel in the classic luxury market.

A Letter from IPPL’s Chairwoman Dear IPPL Member, We at Headquarters are all devastated by the loss in October of our “special needs” gibbon, Beanie. You’ll find the story of his life in the centerfold of this issue. In 1990 Beanie had developed encephalitis when living at a primate facility in Florida. This terrible disease left him blind and suffering from epilepsy, so he was sent to IPPL for special care. Beanie didn’t let his handicaps defeat him. He was a spunky, personable gibbon, adored by our staff members. Beanie could sing gibbon songs. The only problem was that sometimes he would start singing at 3 a.m. because, being blind, he didn’t know the difference between night and day! He could perform spectacular gibbon acrobatics at whirlwind speed, sometimes spinning round a stationary bar fifteen times. Beanie loved food and had strong preferences. He loved sweet potatoes, but only if they were baked and had a sprinkling of sugar! Another favorite was raisin bread. But not just any raisin bread. He preferred Arnold’s raisin bread, which is loaded with raisins. If you offered him a substitute he would throw it away. We are all going to miss Beanie greatly, but the 31 resident gibbons keep us busy. Courtney is now two and a half years old and still very much an infant.
