PM Srettha agrees to use bullet-proof Mecedes-Benz

[snoop1130]

 

Before going to take oath of office at Dusit Royal Palace on September 5, Prime Minister Srettha arrived at Government House in his new Lexus LM 350h Executive saloon, causing many to wonder whether he will use it as his official vehicle.

 

Some went further, claiming that Srettha wanted to use the Lexus as his official vehicle, because he did not want to have the same vehicle as his predecessor Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha. The subject of Srettha’s transport has been widely debated on Thai social media.

 

The following day, however, the media at Government House reported that officials had brought a specially equipped Mercedes-Benz to the front entrance and Srettha was seen getting into the back seat of the German vehicle and then getting back out again.

Hopefully he will take photos of what he had for lunch and post on his facebook page.

Bullet proof.....must be planning something expected to be unpopular..... like a coalition of the losers.

Ok, just be vigilant, check the vehicle thoroughly for bugging devices. One wouldn’t know where that vehicle came from.

By the choice of socks he wore when meeting the American ambassador it might be pink; like his necktie worn at the same happening ????

Most government leaders are driven around in bullet and bomb proof government vehicles. According to the Bangkok Post (nothing quoted) the Thai PM has 2 of them from a batch of 4, costing 78 million baht,

 

They were bought in March 2016 when Prayuth was the PM. One for daily use and one as a spare.

 

It is easy to look up facts on an internet search.
