Thai government: Prime minister was not the one leading the Royal Funeral Procession

BANGKOK:-- Government spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd has said that contrary to online rumors the prime minister was not the person on a motorbike leading the Royal Funeral Procession from Sirirat Hospital to the Grand Palace on Friday.

Many people had shared pictures of the man in a full face helmet that they thought resembled PM Prayuth Chan-Ocha.

A picture of the man in the helmet was issued with a warning in Thai underneath saying: "This is not the PM - please do not share".

The prime minister was in fact waiting within the Grand Palace to receive the procession, Manager Online reported.

Yesterday the name of the man was announced as Sakchai Watchawna whom the prime minister said had carried out his duty with pride earning the respect of all in the civil service.

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education. I wonder if these are the same kids the rightwing pearl clutchers insist are being discriminated against in schools? https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/jul/06/thousands-of-children-absent-from-school-in-wake-of-overnight-england-world-cup-win

The Reform UK leader resigned his Clacton seat insisting voters—not Westminster—should judge the allegations surrounding his finances. If re-elected, Farage says he will return to Parliament with an
