Thailand Prime Minister and Finance Minister Srettha Thavisin last night visited a bustling night market in Khon Kaen, sparking interest among superstitious locals looking for lottery numbers. The visit was filled with interactions with local traders enjoying their evening meals.

 

PM Srettha and his entourage, including Sermsak Pongpanich, Minister of Culture, Precha Phonphanich, son of Sermsak, and Suriya Chuengrungrueangkit, Minister of Transport, arrived at the bustling night market on Ruamchit Road in Khon Kaen at 7.30pm. They were greeted by local past constituency candidates, Chatchaval Promratham and Rampamamas Teechatananont.

 

PM Srettha’s arrival, in a black car with the license plate 5558, caught the attention of the public who captured pictures of the license plate, hoping to try their luck in the upcoming government lottery draw on September 16.

During their walk through the market, the 61 year old PM stopped to chat with local vendors, asking about the atmosphere of the market. He promised that the government would speed up efforts to improve the living conditions of the locals. He also sampled various dishes from local stalls, including desserts and pork skewers, expressing his delight at the delicious flavours.
