Prawit Wongsuwan during the visit to Bangkok’s Chinatown during the recent Lunar New Year.

 

By Thai PBS World’s Political Desk

The ruling party appears to be reinventing the image of its leader, General Prawit Wongsuwan. His wardrobe has been updated with trendy clothes popular among fashion-conscious young celebrities half his age.

 

The 77-year-old, who also serves as deputy prime minister in charge of security affairs, recently appeared in Calvin Klein jeans, a Gucci jacket, and an eye-catching Hugo Boss sweatshirt during unofficial trips to various locations in Bangkok and the provinces.

 

While visiting Bangkok’s Chinatown during the recent Lunar New Year, Prawit wore a bright red shirt with a dark-green Gucci bomber jacket, jeans and sneakers.

 

Strolling around the upscale MFO (Or Tor Kor) Market in late January, Prawit appeared in a zip-up jacket made by Issue, a Thai designer brand. The jacket featured a colourful design of a tiger and a dragon made popular by certain showbiz celebrities with a “bad boy” image.

 

In early February, the deputy premier surprised morning joggers at Bangkok’s Lumpini Park. Prawit was taking a brisk walk in a grey Adidas warm-up jacket and a green polo shirt. He was greeted by passers-by, some of whom wished him success in the upcoming general election.

 

On February 18, Prawit was spotted with his nieces at popular food shops in Bangkok’s Giant Swing neighbourhood. He was wearing a Boss x Khaby zip-up sweatshirt featuring a colourful yellow and purple design inspired by TikTok star Khaby Lame.

Lipstick on the proverbial.........................................! Guess what?

What is next, a Fabergé walking stick or Bentley wheel chair?

Ahh, for all we know those items can be bout from Lazada or some night bazar somewhere and can't tell the different.

The dead friend keeps on giving but his pants are from pampers ????

Did he visit Chinatown between his numerous power naps?

Here's hoping he tries Ali G look next.

He fits the old saying "mutton dressed up as lamb"

For this election, campaigning in military/police/govt bureaucratic uniform is a big No-No; instead  dressing like an everyday civilian is in thing.   But beware, it's still a wolf in sheep's clothing.

No! They are so easily bought.

That jacket is straining to contain an enormous amount of gluttony. Well made counterfeit 

Message to the hopeless one. It will take alot more than some fancy, expensive clothes, likely bought with illl gotten money, to woo the youth. How about helping them, instead of locking them up for showing their extreme displeasure with your reign of nonsense and horrific leadership?

Gen Prawit gets trendy to woo army of young voters

Well, dinosaurs are trendy with 5-10 year-olds..., but that's probably the mental age of his prospective voters.

Who should know better than to parade with a toad.

Or maybe the celebs still believe in kissing one?

Who's he trying to impress with this "young look"?

Oh, sorry I asked - I'll get my coat!!!

Is he really capable of taking a brisk walk?

The make up on Brendan Fraiser in this Thai version of the whale is quite good

Wow. Young girls will be wanting posters of him on there bedroom wall. Lol

Trendy little fat guy indeed!

I bet he's not wearing a trendy Swatch!

I'm sure that those who are locked up , for protesting his policies , will be hugely impressed.
