and just in time to see the tar balls washing ashore .. slick move that 

Good lord as if HKT does not have enough problems

Show him the people lining up for food hand outs, hundereds if not thousands of abondoned shops, hotels falling apart, amusement districts like ghost towns and the number of people unemployed. That's reality.

and catch something nasty

So he'll just be in Laguna, good to see he's getting amongst the people, getting a real feel for their plight, because that's obviously the best place to do it....

Private jet lands, limo to Laguna, big feed, point at some stuff...all good here...leg it back to BKK!

Does he get to wear a bracelet?

Probably looking for a suitable mansion for his future move when the rest of Thailand is hit with the Wufluland Indian variant and they pull up the drawbridge.

I don’t think he’ll get to see the ‘people lining up for food hand outs’ being given by the good citizens/residents of the island but his assistants may inadvertently line up a photo shoot of the local authorities selling off cheap food parcels to those in need.
