The cabinet has agreed to name DPM and health minister Anutin Charnvirakul as the acting transport minister.

 

This comes after incumbent Saksayak Chidchob stepped down from the role as the courts investigate his business commitments.

 

Government deputy spokeswoman Traisuree also gave details about a promotion to tax advisor of Phantong Loikulanan, reported INN.

he made several blunders while being health minister and I suspect he knows even less about transport.

Over qualified?

Minister health, Minister of transport, Minister of weed.....This guy can do it all...

Impeccable CV, shame he can't back it up with actions.

We can expect  to have more problems on the road now then,   Dirty Farangs  will always be guilty of any road traffic accident now, even if there were not before this

Will he sort out the carcinogenic air problem partly caused by slow-moving speaker vans hired by daft politicians holding up traffic?

Yet, he is an honoured member of the exclusive club.

The most important thing.

 

Anything else is moot.

We can kiss goodbye to Thailand's high speed rail link then.

Oh darn....the Oscars are done...he's too late in his acting career. 

New cannabis transport bill to be proposed says Anutin.  From now on you can only transport a minimum of 2 buds in your left pocket.

Yes it will be written on Hemp Paper....

DPM, Health minister and acting Transport minister. Does that mean he's getting 3 x salaries and 3 x "benefits"?

 

He likes to wear medic's outfit in his role as health minister. Will he now exchange this for bus driver's uniform.

I do not have a dirty car!

My wife was just massaging past of my body that was going numb due to driving for a long time.

And stop watching will you?

LOL  Slighty off topic , a Farang Friend was washing his car  on his driveway when approached by his angry (Thai) wife, who said   'the Neighbours will think  we  we are poor people  because you are washing the car, and not using a car wash

Acting is the correct word to use spanner is another in his case ????

Jack of all  trades....... Master of none 

Since his genius and his skills know no bounds, it makes sense to load him up with important appointments. After all, if an engineer can become a health minister and expert during a pandemic, why not transport minister too? His mind is so vast, he has no limitations. Anutin the Amazing.

Yes he will! He will force people to convert to "internal weed combustion engines" and everyone will be happy!

 

Amen to that!

Unless it is the government 7 series BMW or MB he is driven around in, complete with a police escort.

My pickup gets washed at least once a year at the carwash.

Politics is such a scam. He's just some guy who knows others guys. None of it means any more than that.

He'll probably ban foreigners from driving, or riding on public transport as we're dirty and smelly.

Why isn't he being investigated as well as the guy he's replacing ? 

Thats driving while stoned legal now ????
