Yingluck slammed for changing clothes too many times in one day
By Coconuts Bangkok



BANGKOK: -- As the head of Thailand’s government, Yingluck Shinawatra is tasked with representing her nation, cabinet and party at public events. In addition to achieving certain political ends, looking elegant is another requirement of her job.

However, Yingluck came under fire this Tuesday for making what some described as excessive changes to her wardrobe. Critics of Yingluck’s behavior pointed out that Thailand was facing an electricity shortage. Wearing too many outfits in a matter of 24 hours would mean that undo resources might be devoted to her dry-cleaning.

Her Tuesday clothing schedule was as follows:

9am: Yingluck started off the day with a grey Thai silk shirt and skirt of the same color, which she wore to meet with Miss Grand Thailand 2013 candidates and officials from the Ministry of Social Development and Social Security.

12pm: After lunch, she changed to a shirt in pink and yellow stripes with a red skirt to attend the 23th anniversary event of Khaosod newspaper.

[Credo]

This lady can't win for losing.

My reaction is that anytime a politician is changing clothes, getting a haircut, sitting on the toilet (without a mobile phone), they are not causing any damage to the country.

[jamhar]

Come on folks. PM Y is low lying fruit. You dont have to invent stuff to criticize of her.

She does fine on her own.

Coming up with this kind of sh*t only reduces the impact of legitimate concerns, and reduces the credibility of the reporting.

Hell i change cloths 2 - 3 times a day just because of musk and sweat. If you don't, i hope you buy antiperspirant and deodorant in bulk!

I will say that she could have avoided all this by having multiple copies of the same outfit, and therefore she can look fresh without looking like she changed cloths. Like I believe most other politicians do in the more developed countries.

[Mosha]

Maybe she sweats a lot.

[sjjmmi]

Wow !!!!! world breaking news here

[Bluespunk]

is this a genuine article? did someone miss out the satire tag under the headline?

[Nowhereman60]

How many times does Abhisit change his underwear daily.

[arthurboy]

And in the meantime, while corruption, political deception and subterfuge, violence in the South and general all round thievery etc. etc. remains the order of the day, we get this.

What ever happened to the people who enslaved and tortured the little Karen girl?

Oh, I forgot. that story lost its shock horror value long ago and has since fallen off the socially responsible media radar.

[Songhua]

Send the police. She's single-handedly depleting the nation of it's electricity. What nonsense.

[Songhua]

Probably written with envy by somebody who can't afford clothes.

[NongKhaiKid]

Every time someone mentions DSI ?

[NongKhaiKid]

Truth to this story or not it does seem Yingluck puts more into looking good in public than to her job, well that's when she's actually in the country. I suppose it doesn't matter too much though as she's only a puppet anyway

Most politicians in developed countries have multiple copies of the same clothes to look 'fresh'? Really?

[chooka]

Oh please, people will attack her about anything. Now it is attacking her for dressing to suit a particular event. To stop all the whiners and detractors maybe she should just dress in jeans 24/7 oh no wait then people will complain because she doesn't dress to suit the occassion.

Is she any different when it comes to this compared to any other official in any other place of the world? Julia gillard probably changes her clothes more time per day than Yingluk does.

They should phone the call centre instead, and aid to lift them from poverty will be immediately dispatched.

Your comment is as petty, snide and bitchy as the best of them . . . well done.

Shades of neo-cons pouncing on Michelle Obama for everything she did/does . . .

[DocN]

Did someone just miss April- foolsday?

What a useless pile of sh1t!

[Payboy]

How many times does Abhisit change his underwear daily.

Skid Marks?

[Payboy]

Maybe she sweats a lot.

Breaks out every time someone mentions "parliament" & "debate" in one sentence.

[DP25]

I don't see any quotes from Thais, especially important political leaders, 'slamming' anything. Seems like a fluff article, either solely to create controversy and draw page hits, or designed to deflect criticism by characterizing critics as superficial.

Exactly ! I have never heard anyone question the dress sense or lack of it of male politicans anywhere in the world.

Does anyone ask how many times Thaksin changes his bullet proof mudmee silk shirt every day?

[Kerryd]

Haha - whenever I ride my Harley or my scooter around here, I need to change my underwear probably 4 times a day, if not more !

[Markaew]

Yes, maybe we should give a break. Maybe she has a body order problem.

I haven't seen a woman yet that wasn't obsessed with her appearance.

The article is incredibly petty. So what!?!?

[Credo]

Ms. Yingluck doesn't sweat, she perspires.

[overherebc]

Horses sweat, gentemen perspire and Ladies 'GLOW'.

[culicine]

I hope they were all made with Thai fabric:)

[GentlemanJim]

If Journo's would investigate the real issues facing this nation instead of coming up with the crap about the PM's dry cleaning bill they may achieve some level of professional credibility. The story is a complete nonsense. Who is it who has actually slammed the PM for changing so many times in one day? Ploppy son of Ploppy?

The problem with that idea is it would greatly have cut down her shopping time.

[virtualtraveller]

This lady's NOT for changing.
