webfact Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 The future Prime Minister of Thailand and leader of the Move Forward Party (MFP), Pita Limjaroenrat, took to Twitter yesterday to reach out to American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, inviting her to return to Thailand now that the country has restored full democracy. Taylor Swift shows are among the most eagerly anticipated concerts among Thai fans. The latest queen of pop recently announced a world tour, The Eras Tour 2024, but Thailand is not included on the list. Her Asian stops are limited to Japan and Singapore. Thailand’s connection with Taylor Swift goes back nine years ago when she launched “The Red Tour Live in Bangkok 2014” at the Impact Arena Mueang Thong Thani on June 9 of 2014. The tickets, which ranged from 2,000 to 6,500 baht, were all sold out within an hour. Unfortunately, about two weeks before a note was sung, the concert was cancelled due to the political coup on Thai Swifties have shed nine years of tears waiting for the 33 year old songstress to return. Swift has six dates in Singapore next year, from March 2 to 3 and March 7 to 9. The future PM of Thailand, Pita, a Taylor Swift fan, begged her to come back to the Land of Smiles. by Petch Petpailin Photo via Facebook/ Pita Limjaroenrat - พิธา ลิ้มเจริญรัตน์ and Twitter/ @taylorswift13 #news Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/future-pm-pita-invites-taylor-swift-to-thailand-stating-full-democracy-is-back -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-07-07 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

BayArea Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Hate to be negative, but with all the circus surrounding this election at the moment, I can see Swift back performing in Thailand before Pita ever becomes PM. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 24 minutes ago, pegman said: Let's see if he. becomes the Prime Minister before calling Thailand a full democracy shall we That is just the first step. Future governments are tied in to Prayut's 20-year plan and can be lawfully disbanded if they veer from it. The Thai armed forces are not under the control of the elected government. Their loyalty lies elsewhere (with different factions being loyal to various persons). What will happen if Pita tries to change the constitution to address these issues? (rhetorical question, as we all know the answer). IMHO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel2023 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I don't know why, but Pita reminds me French President Macron a lot: "He is young!", "He is handsome!", and maybe similar music tastes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because nothing says Democracy like having Taylor Swift come to Thailand. But he is a bit late because I invited her to come last month when I saw her in this dress. I distinctly remember saying "Oh baby come to daddy" of course now that I think of it , I should had mentioned that I was in Thailand. Probably why she did not come.

ignore it Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 FLASH! Taylor Swift replied through a representative, "Sorry, but we are not sure if your that little island that maybe or may not be a part of China or if your that place with tanks on the streets. Anyway, she's too busy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
