Rice rains on PM Prayut (VDO clip)

By The Nation

 

 

The rice saplings that were thrown to mark an auspicious start to the government’s Thai Niyom scheme – which aims to diagnose people’s problems at a local level – were supposed to land in a rice field.
 

Instead, they accidentally landed on Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha’s head, prompting a lighter atmosphere amid the stress that has been building up on the government around the scheme, which some see as a political move by Prayut ahead of the election.

 

 

Prayut and other Cabinet members, including Agriculture Minister Grisada Boonrach, arrived at Laembua agricultural learning centre in Nakhon Pathom on Wednesday to launch the scheme.

 

While the premier was throwing the rice saplings into the field in front of him, Grisada accidentally threw some close to Prayut and they landed on his head, prompting smiles and laughter among the group.

 

 

Grabbing another bunch of saplings to throw, Prayut joked with reporters and photographers that they should capture such a good moment rather than obsess with recent superstitious claims about broken lotus basil at Government House.

seems the rice  diagnosed the problem correctly.

Lots of Government officials standing around cheering themselves, not many normal  people. Nice little day out for everyone though, nice lunch no doubt

Broken vase, dead pigeon and rice raining down on him. He is a magnet for bad luck. Discard the toad, maybe luck will change. Worth a try.

This is the thai way, they will tell you how nice they are and then cheer themselves in the vain hope they can convince others to believe in them.

Hilarious

Next time they may throw sacks of rice on him.

Attracted to the fertilizer, I guess.

 

Hope he gets to a coconut planting ceremony soon.

What about the fertilizer?

Let's say...buffalo dung!?
