This is actually one of those 'hole for the head' backgrounds that you see at the fairground. All the governors line up and stick their head through the hole for the photo. He is actually wearing a wife-beater.

I can't wait to hear his state of the island address and how he's going to make things better.  I wonder if he'll change anything from the previous 15?

Just another one with his snout in the trough ... hand in the till ...

Ruritania, fiction!

Any hope for Phuket getting an overhaul is gone now.

He will be out checking the rice paddies

From Maha Sarakham to Phuket, wow local boy makes good.

Certainly not a transfer to an inactive post more like a lucrative one !

I wonder what the price of the transfer was.

Actually looks like he takes corruption seriously.

 

It is reported he fired  32 Tambon Administration Organization (OrBorTor) presidents whom he accused of corruption earlier this month.

Yeah, I wonder how the rice farmers mafia compares to the transport mafia in terms of payouts and toughness.  No local official here will go down without swinging, it's too lucrative.  Good on the guv though for doing his job up North.
