SIA SA KET - Thaksin Shinawatra has donated 15 prefabricated homes worth 3.5 million baht to the residents of Si Sa Ket province. At the donation ceremony in Khun Han district, Thaksin Shinawatra handed over these homes to families impacted by recent border tensions with Cambodia.

 

Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai delegated Deputy Interior Minister Theerarat Samretvanit to officially receive the homes on behalf of the government. Police General Surasith Sankhapong also attended as a representative, highlighting the aid these homes will provide to families whose residences were completely destroyed.

 

The homes come fully equipped, ensuring displaced families can settle in quickly and comfortably. This initiative highlights Thaksin's continued involvement in humanitarian efforts, aiming to support those who have faced hardships due to cross-border disturbances, reported Siam Rath.

 

Local residents expressed gratitude for the much-needed support during challenging times. As the region stabilises, the focus remains on rebuilding lives and restoring normalcy for affected communities.

 

In summary, Thaksin's donation offers immediate relief and a fresh start for many families in Si Sa Ket, demonstrating solidarity and community support during turmoil.

OMG, this guy is so corrupt, he is literally giving the middle finger to all thai people

I think most foreigners will see this supposed act of kindness for what it is. Bribery to shed him into a good light pending his court hearing and his other legal troubles. 

But i think many Thais will not view it this way and instead be hopeful he dishes out more money to others.

Wife says Thai social media has been neutral in comments about this. They neither praise nor object to what Thaksin is doing. So maybe there are a few that know he is trying to buy his way out of trouble.
