Tight security for Prayut and Cabinet in Ayutthaya

By The Nation

 

 

AYUTTHAYA: -- Tight security was provided to guard Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha and Cabinet members on Tuesday during their visit to Ayutthaya, where they were due to hold a mobile Cabinet meeting to discuss issues relevant to the Central region.

It appeared that only Prayut and Deputy prime minister and Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan were not required to go through scanning machines before entering Wat Mahathat temple. Others, including 89 monks who came for a merit-making ceremony, were asked to be thoroughly checked.

 

“In that case, I’m afraid the premier will be the only one who will make merit,” said a temple officer to the security officer, who was not allowed to respond.

 

The ceremony eventually went ahead before the Cabinet members rode a tram to Ayutthaya historical park, where they opened a market and national artist Kwanjit Sriprajan welcomed them by singing folk songs.

 

Police Chief Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda and the commander of the Patrol and Special Operation Division personally oversaw security.

 

The Cabinet meeting was expected to focus on the repair of 17 piers along the Chao Phraya river, construction of a new motorway and tollway, construction of a station for high-speed trains, land transport in Ayutthaya, tourism development in Saraburi, and water management in Angthong.

Nice little company-paid junket there.

 

Keep on bringing happiness to the people cabinet.

 

Be sure and let us all know when your day-trip to Chiang Mai is planned.

Silence is golden. With his exorbitant ranking in NIDA's popularity polls I wonder what they are scared about. 

Maybe they can use that 400 million Balloon to act as observation when they have meeting Oh forgot it dont fly 

Security may have been tight but rumour has it a frog slipped through the net.

 

Apparently it wanted to have a word about a couple of things...

Ony 2 people did not have to go through security screening, why not they cannot be trusted, they stole power from an elected government.
