Popular Post snoop1130 Posted March 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2023 Real estate tycoon Srettha Thavisin made clear today (Friday) that he will not accept any ministerial portfolio other than that of prime minister if the Pheu Thai Party becomes the core party in a new government coalition after the election. Srettha, who was recently appointed chief advisor to Paetongtarn Shinawatra, head of the “Pheu Thai family”, explained that, as a Thai citizen, he believes he can be useful to Thailand and the prime minister is powerful and important enough to get the jobs done. Asked by a reporter whether his statement means that he will not accept any political post short of the top job, he responded “No, I will not accept.” Full Story: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/tycoon-srettha-says-he-only-wants-the-pm-post/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2023-03-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Well he didn’t fare that well as appointed Prime Minister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe she will be happy to be relieved of the pressure of being PM given that she knows she has no experience whatever to take into the job. What must also be on her mind is 'how long before i'm the next shin to be forced out by a coup or whatever'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter who the next or any PM get's into office, there will always be some soldier who will start a coup after seeing how well the present unelected PM has fared. Personally, I would like the Thai people themselves to start an non violent protest of some sort when the next coup comes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real estate developer. His purpose is obvious, push for special deals, reductions in taxes etc., etc., for his industry and especially his own quite large company. As he's stated he doesn't want to be bothered by any other subjects In a couple of words 'unethical greed'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
