klauskunkel Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thai politics has been the unwitting host of an unforgettable cast of characters this is a (not so) comprehensive list of memorable, extraordinary (Ex-) Thai Cabinet Members, each a mental giant and paragon of virtue, leaders by example who all should be declared National Treasures, feel free to comment, amend, disagree, or make your own... 1) Chalerm Yubamrung: butt-grabber, earache medicine over-indulger, pink Bentley driver, doting father to murderous son, drunk lawyer and ex-police captain, 7-day problem solver. Health Minister, Interior Minister, Justice Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Labor Minister, a true over-achiever by self-proclamation - he is, and always will be number 1 2) Plodprasop Suraswadi: "push the river with a thousand boats" (make sure they all face the same direction!), 'nuff said - 2nd place goes to this Minister of Science and Technology for his brilliance worthy a Nobel Prize in Physics 3) Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul: maverick promoter of Destination Thailand, creator of such irresistible attractions as "find the Doraimon on your smart-phone and get killed by accident"and Durian KitKat yummy!, Pattaya face lifter, dexterous slinger of slogans and numbers, a trend-setter who made Botox unnecessary just by the sheer force of pulling her hair back. Minister for Tourism and Sports - a shared 2nd place with "The Plod" (may they meet and have offspring for the future of Thailand) 4) Yingluck Shinawatra: naivite incorporate (she is actually a natural blonde), likes rice and mushrooms, shopper par excellence, cries a lot and thanks three times, Master's Degree in Administration from Kentucky State University with unrivaled English language skills. Prime Minister by cloning - she gets the Bronze medal (may it not weigh her down) 5) Taksin Shinawatra: killer of drug addicts, billionaire, doctorate in cloning, resident of Dubai and citizen of Thailand/Nicaragua/Montengro/Uganda/Congo and Mars, fan of the Olympics, Ex-police Lt Col, unrivaled artist of twisting, bending, torquing, breaking a country's laws to benefit his bank accounts. Prime Minister by vote-buying - he is on 4th place because he is old news 6) Suthep Thaugsuban: demagogue, used-car-salesman, monk. Deputy Prime Minister - 5th place and don't come back for more 7) Abhisit Vejjajiva: lukewarm has-been pretty boy, bland, boring, predictable, weak. Prime Minister - also ran but did not place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
