BANGKOK, Jan 9 (TNA) –  Dinosaur replicas will not be put on display at Government House lawn on the National Children’s Day this year, said Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.

 

The life-size dinosaur models were installed by the Department of Mineral Resources at Government House for the past several years on the Children’s Day, annually celebrated on the second Saturday of January.

 

When asked about the inclusion of dinosaur exhibits at this year’s National Children’s Day event at Government House, the Prime Minister chuckled and responded, “No, dinosaurs are extinct.”

Just a different set in government this year.

No need for dinosaur models, as the originals are right there...

Have all of the MP's stand out on the lawn, it will look like Jurassic Park.

Nah mate, he ain't that bright....

Well dinosaurs most definitely are not extinct in Thailand, and perhaps Sretta did not want to remind the public of the fact that dinosaurs are still ruling the roost and pulling the strings. 

The real dinosaur's will be present as members of the government, no need for models...

So they lost them, they escaped, or needed in Government house.?

Not to mention convicts, past and present.

Can you get some tanks and guns for the kids to play with instead??? How much longer do they have to wait for that submarine to play on???

Take the kiddies to the senate. Real life dinasaurs there. 

Debbie Downer.

 

 

But more room for tanks and firearms because, well the Military is a pillar of the Thai social system.

Perhaps so.

He has had a very successful business career. Whilst he is very much part of the system, I doubt as to whether he is under any illusions about his peers, and what Thailand and indeed the rest of the world think about them. He will understand, and quite possibly be amused, by allusions to dinosaurs, even if he is unable to do very much about them!

So no Senators allowed?

No Dinosaur Model Displays on Children’s Day at Government House

 

No need for any punchline here. Move along..
