In a notable social interaction, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and ex-Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat were present at a wedding ceremony of two Members of Parliament, marking a significant occurrence in Thailand's political circles. This gathering unfolded at the Asawin Grand Convention Hotel in Bangkok's Lak Si district on January 10th.

The celebration united Mr. Thanathorn Lohsoonthorn, a Pheu Thai MP from Lampang Constituency 2, with Ms. Rapassorn Niyamosatha, an MP from the People’s Party for Lampang Constituency 4. The groom, Mr. Thanathorn, follows the footsteps of his father, Mr. Pairoj Lohsoonthorn, also a former MP from the same province, perpetuating the family’s political heritage.

 

At this occasion, Pita, now serving as an advisor to Progressive Movement’s chairman Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, took the opportunity to greet Thaksin. The exchange provided Thaksin, the influential Pheu Thai figure, an avenue to reflect on his lengthy self-imposed exile of 17 years. He expressed a strong desire to return and positively contribute to resolving Thailand's challenges.

During their conversation, Pita offered Thaksin thoughtful advice on maintaining his health, indicating a respectful rapport between these key political personalities. Thaksin's comments underscored his unwavering influence and dedication to Thailand, despite the years spent away from the political forefront.

 

Throughout the event, Thaksin also conversed with Ms. Pannika Wanich, a prominent member of the Progressive Movement. He noted her resemblance to his daughter, Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, highlighting the interconnections among Thailand's political spheres.

Addressing the wedding attendees, Thaksin shared thoughts that went beyond the immediate celebration, hinting at broader political collaboration. Drawing a parallel between the matrimonial union of MPs from different parties and potential political partnerships, he remarked, "As MPs from different parties can get married, so too might different parties collaborate politically," suggesting a hopeful vision for national unity amid rapidly changing times.

 

The wedding, enriched with Thaksin's well wishes for the couple, subtly reminded all present of the potential for political cooperation in Thailand's dynamic landscape. Through his words of blessing, Thaksin echoed aspirations for enhanced harmony and development across the country, reported Thai Newsroom.

Love the smirk on Pita's face in the second photo.

He is probably thinking 'I am the future. I will outlive you.'

The tone of the article is basically naive to a level that is ridiculous. Political fluff.

[jippytum]

Pita is forced to obay his ban from politics. 

Thaksin flounts the same  laws with impunity

[spidermike007]

It's a shame he could have learned something from Pita, who is a brilliant man, a very accomplished man, and a man of nobility and grace.

 

Let us hope that one nanogram of that nobility rubbed off on the extremely toxic man.

Its a shame there is not an app that could read thoughts from a photo. 

 

Behind the smiles.........

He told him to stay off red wine?

[PETERTHEEATER]

In my opinion, Ms. Pannika Wanich has nicer political spheres than the Thai PM.

Yes, if thaksin's mob and their cronies continue to gain power...

[Dave0206]

Thaksin rather than receiving advice on health should be selling whatever he takes.

From a frail man on death's door who had to serve his prison sentence in hospital to this it's a miracle I tell you

Is a Thai wedding by the well off now looking very much like a western wedding?

The women are in another room stuffing themselves with food, while the men drink themselves under the table in this room.
