Politicians, senior police officers, and civil servants provide the hallmarks of a prime ministerial examination trip.
Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra made his first journey outside Bangkok since being released on parole last month with a three-day attend to his native province of Chiang Mai on Thursday.
At 9:30 a.m., Thaksin and his daughter, Pheu Thai Party chief Paetongtarn Shinawatra, her father Pitaka Suksawat, and their child Thitarn, made the private plane ride to Wing 41 in Chiang Mai. His first journey to his indigenous territory in 17 times was here.
Ministers and civil servants fussed over their guests as they gave updates on several public works projects, and the visit had every appearance of an established Club assessment trip.
Surachate Hakparn, the deputy national police captain, was present to supervise protection for the event.
The 74-year-old probationer had time to socialize with people who had cordially welcomed him outside of the formal setting.
The former police officer turned communications magnate was wearing a casual orange shirt and trousers. Wearing a neck brace and a face face, he held his sister’s side throughout the journey, while a nurse carefully attended to his demands.
Ms. Paetongtarn kept a watch over her papa and attempted to minimize physical contact. Because his hands still hurt, she instructed others to certainly tug at him.
One follower apologised to the original premier, who gave a hua before taking a picture with him, saying,” Missed you.”
The message reads,” Prime Minister of our hearts,” beneath a portrait of Thaksin emblazoned on another well-wisher’s coat.
Given his well-known six-month sit at Police General Hospital before his release last month, Thaksin’s heath was the main subject of many people’s minds when they came out to see him.
He merely stated that he was steadily improving, despite declining to respond to reporters ‘ issues.
