PM Yingluck visits temple in Chiang Mai

CHIANG MAI, 15 April 2014 (NNT) – Prime Minister and Defense Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is currently in her hometown, Chiang Mai, where she visited a temple to make merit on the occasion of Songkran Festival.

The Premier proceeded to Wat Chai Mongkhon in Mueang District to take part in a bathing rite of Buddha images, pay respect to the Statue of King Rama V, give offerings and necessities to monks, and release fish and birds.

During her visit, Miss Yingluck was greeted by Chiang Mai Governor Wichian Puttiwinyu. She also received flowers from her supporters who were there to cheer her up.

Earlier, the Premier gave her blessing to civil servants and people in Chiang Mai. She wished all of them happiness, prosperity, and all the good things in life.

Meanwhile, a survey conducted by Suan Dusit Poll said that Prime Minister Yingluck is the number one female politician Thai people want to celebrate Songkran with.

I hope she spent a long time at the temple as she certainly has a lot to pray for.

Well, one in the eye for that Singha brewery heiress MP. Is she not the darling of Sutheps nutter brigade.

.............at last we see something she is experienced to comment on.

Is this very similar to Bess in the UK dropping in to see West Minster Abbey, so what!

Not..! The Big difference is that we in the UK , we love our Queen..

Earlier the Premier gave her blessing ????????? <deleted> !! Firstly she is only the part time caretaker and I thought the Pope or religious leaders give blessings, not some over rated woman.

Bit of an assumption isn't it?

Oh the pettiness of the bitter brigade - a blessing is the approval of something that helps or brings happiness to other people. Religion doesn't have to have anything to do with it.

Agreed - the only bless that she could give the people of Thailand would be to undertake a one way journey OUT of Thailand

[Thait Spot]

She could really do with seeing the rest of the country.

She won't win any more friends in Chiang Mai

Maybe another trip to the south

Wrong. I imagine the "Singha brewery heiress" IS the darling of Sutheps/anti-government demonstrators.

What is - that people in the UK love their Queen; or that people in Thailand don't love a caretaker PM/DM who dissolved parliament due to massed protests caused by her government trying to cheat through parliament a bill that would whitewash her criminal brother of his conviction, the 15 outstanding more serious cases and any not yet come to light?

Really, comparing the Shin family to royalty tut tut.

Gave her blessings - how wonderful. Just like she vowed the farmers would be paid several weeks ago, asked the Ombudsman for more time to answer his questions - nearly 3 years ago!

Any utterances are meaningless and insincere. She only gives a toss about the clan and its desperate attempts to cling on to power. Anything she says is just window dressing.

In other news today I had a sandwich for lunch...

I love Thailand and hope the government and the people learn to live together in a way that is prosperous and beneficial for everyone in Thailand. Happy Songran everyone.

She visited the temple cos she's tired of asking big bruv for help, now she's consulting a higher entity!

the temple unfortunately does not have a higher entity. Its a way to live your life. She lives her life very different to Buddha.

That is not a fair comment

Cows are useful to farmers - she is not

Big brother tried that if you recall, look what it got him.. maybe she should have tried a different temple..

[bigbamboo]

What's the big deal?

The PM (whether a caretaker or not) is expected to go to a place of worship in their country on a religious occasion.

The nonsense about giving her blessing is just crap journalism, which is also expected in most countries these days.

The Shinawats are not the Borgias.... even if they'd like to be.

...there is a photo circulating ...a certain someone went 'without support'..to the temples...and in public.......clearly making 2 points......

..people better wonder...

If she REALLY wanted to give a bit of happiness to other people, maybe she could have started by doing her job on day one of her term, rather than dodging all the problems and spending her time listening to Big Bro telling her how to pretend to run the country, while robbing it!

Are you desperate to keep your post count up?

Given the current political complications one should expect a prime minister / care taker prime minister / fake care taker prime minister to be reported as being involved in serious discussions and reports in regard to the current political situation.

But we see nothing / zero from her and to cap off the current joke of a situation, which she, her brother and the pt / udd leeches have generated, we see the convicted puppet master making specific reports and asking for specific actions to gain resolution to the political impasse, and his comments lack truth.

And within a few days he'll probably repeat his statements that he's no longer involved in Thai politics.

The wheels must have fallen off that policy - just like the rest of her policies
