Thai beautician tops senator votes with 79 votes

[webfact]

A 45 year old beautician emerged as one of the 200 newly elected senators, achieving the highest vote count with 79 votes. Her victory highlights a notable career in preventive medicine, skin and beauty expertise, and extensive advisory roles.

 

Chinnachot Saengsang secured 77 votes, Police Lieutenant General Yutthana Thaiphakdi received 76 votes, General Kriangkrai Srirak garnered 74 votes, and Sopon Manomaya obtained 73 votes, all placing high in the election.

 

The beauty expert, Dr Keskamol Pliensamai’s credentials include advising the House Committee on Law, Justice and Human Rights, and leading a working group focused on enhancing the Labour Ministry’s national competitiveness.

 

Her business acumen is evident as she owns four beauty companies: Clinic Intergroup, Keskamol Dental Clinic, Inter Derma Laboratory, and Medical Pharma.

 

Dr Keskamol’s academic background is impressive. She holds a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Business Administration from California University and another PhD in Management and Resource Development from Maejo University.

 

Additionally, she has completed advanced administrative development programmes and earned the Manager Award 2021 for outstanding business management from the Asean Business Association and Civil Society Council of Thailand.

Dr Keskamol’s influence extends to television, where she has hosted the Sukkhaphap Dee programme on the 18 JKN channel and made multiple appearances on the Khun Mor Khor Tham TV programme. Her social media presence is substantial, with 287,000 followers on Instagram and 200,000 followers on TikTok, reflecting her broad appeal and influence, reported Bangkok Post.

 

In related news, renowned human rights activist and widow of kidnapped lawyer Somchai Neelapaijit, Angkhana Neelapaijit secured a seat in the Senate as a representative of the civil sector and NGOs. However, she has raised serious concerns about the integrity of the election process, alleging widespread fraud and vote manipulation in favour of certain candidates.

 

In other news, the Election Commission (EC)’s vote counting began at 9.40pm on Wednesday, June 26, and concluded around 5am on June 27, revealing the biggest political surprise of the year. With 2,989 candidates vying for seats, the new Senate will comprise 200 members from 20 professions, replacing the 250 junta-appointed senators whose term expired on May 10.

Typical nonsense headline, "beautician" when in fact she has a PhD in business administration along with owning quite a few companies.

Ah,a breath of fresh at last :) ( hopefully) 

[Korat Kiwi]

If that's a photo of her then she'll need a few extra hours each day to apply or remove all that polyfilla from her face. 

 

Hopefully she will be just as successful in government. 

 

I agree with the saying less is more. Same lady. ie

Those white filters are doing overtime in that photo!

Oh, my goodness! She looks like the bride of Frankenstein.

But very unlikely, real Phd's take years and I never heard of one in business admin

California University? 🤭 Maybe https://calums.edu as opposed to the University of California.

A lot of her resume has apparently been found to be false...as reported on Thai news.

That could well be true, hard to believe anything in this country. 

[OneMoreFarang]

She can't really be worse than another relative of Thaksin.

[AgMech Cowboy]

Now we know where Somchai's votes went to.

[Thechook]

Way, way to much make up.  It looks hideous 

[spidermike007]

Even a beautician with a fake resume is a far superior choice than a Thai Army crony with a heart of corruption.

I know so. Any Thai citizen beats an army officer any day. The army here is useless. And army control is beyond toxic, corrupt, and a huge negative for Thai society. They retard progress. They want everything to stay the same, so they can continue sucking the blood of society.

Perhaps not. She got a lot of votes, seems to me recognition of her knowledge, credentials and past activities in advisory situations etc.

apparently it was on thai news according to a post in the thread here. 

[Poseidon]

I'm old fashioned but shouldn't someone be qualified and experienced in the area of, I don't know, say LAW. For being the senator for human rights and justice?
