Having a government paid for house as PM is not that big a deal.  10 downing white house Sussex

Where it will be interesting is after he loses.  How fast will the new regime kick his but to the curb

Did any of the other PM's who were truly elected have Government housing?  Thailand Does not have an official residence except for the person we can never discuss.

Yes, there is an official PM's residence but it is little used:

One wonders in what condition the place is now, if kept up or just used as a mausoleum.  Well I found the issue:

 

Only two prime ministers, Prem Tinsulanonda and Chuan Leekpai,[1] have taken residence there. Prem moved to another premise after a few days. The house is reportedly haunted.[9][10]

It is all in the selection of endless titles - and Thailand is faring VERY well. General Prayuth, General Prawit, Police Lieutenant Thaksin (alternatively also "fugitive") is referred to a former Prime Minister. All correct (I assume) but relevant is only the PRESENT title and all those "politicians" are no longer Generals or Police top bananas - unless it serves their purpose. 

The unnecessary purchase of three engine-less submarines fares slightly higher than a "misunderstanding" in the allocation of free housing but I might be wrong here too ????

This was dealt with in December 2020.

 

Thailand’s nine-judge Constitutional Court unanimously cleared Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-cha on Wednesday of a complaint alleging that the former army chief breached ethics by living with his family at a barracks after he retired from the military.
