A lesser known aspect of Matchimathipatai’s agricultural policy is their invovative take on the one million cows program. Their policy includes the following recommendation for cows provided under the program: “raise them with liquid feed mixed with grass, turn on the radio for them to listen and give them a massage.” If Matchimathipatai can get itself into a position of influence in a future coalition government Thailand’s cows are in for a rosy, albeit shortlived, future.
