Srettha Thavisin: Is real-estate mogul aiming to become Thailand’s next PM?

[webfact]

 

Speculation is rife that property tycoon Srettha Thavisin will be one of three prime ministerial candidates put forward by the Pheu Thai Party at the next general election.

 

Sources from the biggest opposition party hinted that Srettha, president and chief executive of Thailand’s leading real estate developer, Sansiri Plc, is being “seriously considered” by Pheu Thai for the national vote, tentatively scheduled for May 7, 2023, by the Election Commission.

 

He is likely to join the existing surefire candidate from the Pheu Thai stable, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the youngest daughter of party patriarch and former prime minister Thaksin. It is unclear if Pheu Thai leader Chonlanan Srikaew will be its third PM candidate.

 

‘I have no conditions at all’ 

 

Srettha, 59, has neither confirmed nor denied the speculation but has not ruled out the possibility of becoming a Pheu Thai PM candidate.

As soon as he takes over.. All immigration officers will report for real estate sales training.

If an expat is wanting a one year extension , it will be mandatory to sit threw a 3 day seminar on the"Joys of Owning a Condo in Thailand".

If you spend 5-10million Baht you get a 5 year tourist visa, that will be re-evaluated in 5 years. And if you buy before the 3 day seminar is over you will get fast tracked.   ????

This is Just a joke, I am sure he would make a great leader.

Yes he would make a great leader.............Unfortunately we have seen what happens to Business Men that become PM in Thailand, and relatives of Business Men as well - they don't last long - become Coup Bait.................hard to imagine a Thai PM without a uniform on.

OK, but I have no doubt his intention is to increase property deals etc., into his pocket.
