Picture: Thai Rath

 

Thai Rath reported from the OTOP City 2022 show at Impact Arena Muang Thong Thani, Bangkok yesterday.

 

Thai prime minister Prayuth Chan-ocha opened the show then went walkabout looking at the products with Interior Minister Anupong Paojinda and Digital Economy and society Minister Chaiwut.

 

The PM was in jovial mood though he was refusing to answer any political questions.

 

One of the notable points was when he was introduced to a Thai comic who goes by the moniker "Khing Korn Bai" - real name Napat Chumjittree.

 

The PM was informed that Napat did an excellent impersonation of Lung Too's voice.

 

At which point Napat lowered his mask and said:

 

"Sawatdee Phee Nong Prachachon"

imitating Prayuth's voice.

 

The PM reportedly loved it and chuckled. 

 

There followed some good natured banter with Anupong before some ladies who were clearly part of the PM's fanclub chipped in with some "Rak Lung Too, Lung Too Soo Soo"

 

We love you, fight on Uncle!

Nice curtains, I wonder if the missus knows they're missing?

Shame Thailand doesn't have a "spitting image" show..
