Popular Post webfact Posted November 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2023 The Thai PM returns to Phuket tomorrow to oversee a number of safety exercises and simulated rescues in the name of tourism safety. Srettha Thavisin will leave Bangkok at around 1.15pm tomorrow, flying to Phuket. From the airport, he will travel to Patong to oversee “emergency response” drills, starting with the rescue of “victims of a marine disaster”. According to a Phuket News report, the PM will witness a demonstration of lifeguards “rescuing” a tourist caught in a rip current, followed by police officers dealing with a “drunken tourist” on Bangla Road.

Time must be weighing heavily on Srettha's hands if he can waste a full day on this sort of low-level nonsense. That's what happens when you outsource all the important decisions to someone living in the luxury wing of a hospital, lol. 7 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Ray Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 It always amazes me how these political trips always coincide with the start of a weekend, so that after the hard business of looking at someone putting on a performance, the politicians are already in a place they can enjoy a relaxing weekend, having already travelled by official transport during work time so there is no delay to the R and R period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazykopite Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Does the PM not know the meaning of delegating there are far more pressing issues to be taken care of than having a day out in Phuket is it that important that he feels there is no one in his party or the other parties that made up the coalition that is capable of carrying out the task . I bet he has got a clue nor qualifications to carry out health and safety exercises ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
