Deputy Prime Minister and Palang Pracharat party leader General Prawit Wongsuwan appears to have landed himself in hot water by reportedly handing out 200,000 water bowls (“khan” in Thai) to the party’s MPs for distribution to people in their constituencies during the Songkran festival next week.

 

Political activist Srisuwan Janya said today that he will file a complaint with the Election Commission seeking aninvestigation into whether gift of the water bowls constitutes a violation of the election law.

 

Each water bowl bears an inscription which reads “Happy Songkran” and the name of the party and General Prawit.

as always ,he confirms, again,  that he is a real piece of work

Stingy, why did'nt he give away a few watches!

It couldn't have happened to a better person.

Bit, but, but, they were for them to use when they ate Mama noodles as a family.  Same bowls for all, no one discriminated against.

Or they could just be used traditionally in the way they were intended and dribble some water on the hands feet and head of your respected family members. 

Handing out dog water bowls? 

"You hes a silly little man, Khun Prawit, what hes you?"

"A silly little man, Sargent Major"

Just shows the arrogance of the man, just another dinosaur still here long past his use before date.

Remember the saying..... You cant fix stupid.????

Post of the day lol

Can't see what the fuss is about.  Local elections have just come and gone leaving plastic posters of candidates to obscure vision at all cross-roads/junctions.  This is just more electioneering to keep him & his party snuffling at the trough.

I suspect most of these Water Bowls will be used in the Bathrooms of the recipients.

I will let you guess what for.

Songkhran tradition?

Old news but should be the same for these bowls. I guess they could use them to hold nuts.

But a very poor attitude to use cheap plastic for that.

 

I agree more with the idea that they are for the butt leftovers????

Glad to see they are still relevant and still a better option for the majority of the Thai people. Even their bowls were better ????

When I first read this I mistakenly read " Thai deputy pm's free bowels of troubled water" and I thought - what a mess he must have made ????
