Thailand’s Interior Minister flew into Phuket yesterday to monitor the current state of affairs following a number of high-profile incidents, most notably the 45 year old Swiss man allegedly kicking a female Thai doctor in the back as she sat on the steps in front of his house in Cape Yamu.

 

Anutin Charnvirakul landed at around 3.30pm and went straight to a meeting on the fifth floor of the airport. A number of provincial officials, government representatives, and Phuket Governor Sophon Suwannarat were also in attendance.

 

The Governor, recalled from an overseas trip a week before by Anutin, provided the minister with an update on issues such as the eviction of an illegal sunbed operator from Laem Singh Beach and the ongoing case against Swiss national Urs Fehr.

Don't know how to use Zoom ?

But you do not get air miles with zoom.

And because of his visit all of the bars in Kamala had to close at midnight last night!

 

Anutin is a do nothing man. This is a man who only represents corporate interests. 

This is a man who only represents the elite. 

This is not a man who represents progress, change, or helping the nation to move forward. This is not a man who represents the people.

This not a man who cares about the well-being of the people.

 

Anutin touches down in Phuket for brief inspection

 

I hope the ladies have laundered recently.

What a co-incidence; they boys are attending the world's biggest tourism fair in Berlin, the ITB and then Anutin executes marching orders for the governor of Phuket - arguably one of Thailand's most promoted tourism destination. 

This story with that Swiss bloke went completely overboard; as said earlier on, file a police complaint, pass it on to the court, listen and execute the verdict. Take the landlord to the cleaners as well for constructing said staircase on public land - without which the whole story would have never happened. 

But, for crying out loud, if you want tourists, then do not hang out some individuals to dry; Thailand is - percentage-wise - much worse than those few wrong-doing dirty farang. Hence, process matters by given paths and a got set of laws. 

How can such an incident keep the governor, the interior minister and the prime minister busy - a world's first indeed. Just be very very very careful, the spark may jump over and the Maldives, Bali and the Philippines are valid alternatives for sun, fun and nothing to do!

Brown envelopes can’t be delivered via zoom either. 

Mr. Anutin is political representative of the racist Thais.

Good one 

Did he bring his Russian translator?

 

Does he need a visa to visit the annexed parts of Phuket?

So that's nearly all Thais.  Isn't "racist Thai" a pleonasm? Qualifies him to be the next PM.
