He wasn't joking.

They have run for cover to avoid the rain.  Guess there was not enough money for sufficient tents.

[OneMoreFarang]

Now, why does this picture come to my mind?

 

 

 

[happysoul]

The transport minister really takes his role seriously as he was in Hua Hin this morning 😉

[BangkokReady]

Many a true word spoken in jest.

Thaksin getting a bit ahead if himself, as usual. Wouldn't surprise me if he winds up in exile, again.

This is just an example of his contempt towards the law and those he considers beneath him.

Its' those who are above him he should worry about. He is held in contempt by the ruling class.

[mrfill]

I think he meant to say that there were enough ministers at his cabinet meeting for a dinner party.....

It must be the after effects of that terrible illness he had.

[Brickleberry]

So when is the constitutional court going to disband PTP for being under the influence of an outsider?

[mommysboy]

Nice to hear that he's made a good, though not unexpected, recovery.

Perhaps he was hoping someone would suggest he chair the meeting. But in the photo he looks weak and sick. 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Surely there’s another coup on the horizon?
