PM’s festive fashion fiasco: Srettha Thavisin’s Christmas socks surprise

[webfact]

In a yuletide twist at Government House, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin turned heads yesterday, December 25, sporting eye-catching red and green Christmas socks that left reporters questioning their powers of observation.

 

The festive saga unfolded when the prime minister breezed into the reporters’ room, bearing gifts of decadent Italian panettone, each weighing a generous 10 kilograms. The sweet and buttery Christmas bread, adorned with raisins, citrus, and almonds, became the unexpected star of the show.

 

With a twinkle in his eye, the 61 year old PM recommended pairing the traditional treat with a scoop of ice cream, igniting a merry culinary discussion.

 

Undeterred by the sweet diversion, the PM extended a spontaneous invitation to a soirée later that evening. When quizzed about the possibility of a Santa Claus hat making an appearance, he playfully lifted his trouser legs, revealing the vibrant red and green socks, and quipped, “Isn’t this enough?”

I wonder if he was juggling at the same time?

With all the trivial stuff this guy spends his days on, he's definitely underemployed. His master in hospital should give him some proper work to do.

a curious reporter probed the extent of the Bangkok-born PM’s sock collection, to which he replied with a grin, “I have plenty.”

His hands are in his pockets, so yes, probably.

How many you see on tv or elsewhere  dressed up  for a event.The socks are different and colourful.The media or press had a quite day it seems

[arick]

He's obviously been watching other prime Ministers socks

[Cabradelmar]

A clown dressing like a clown... nothing to see here.

[Encore]

Surely should be green on the right with red on the left and a strobe plugged in at the rear to know if he is coming or going

When asked why he had one red sock and one green sock, he replied I also have another identical pair at home.
