🧵 THREAD: A rift among opposition parties is fueling speculation that the Thai political landscape and the govt coalition could be changing again a year after the Bhumjaithai Party took power - and why a Casio watch is the smoking gun for some.
10) In any case, time is ticking.
Thamanat and Klatham - already dubbed "party-in-waiting" (“พรรคฝ่ายคอย”) by the media - can't sit on the fence forever and have to pick a side eventually.
And PM Anutin’s govt is under growing pressure not to keep Thai politics just quiet but also deliver tangible results before it, too, runs out of time. (END)
🧵 THREAD: A rift among opposition parties is fueling speculation that the Thai political landscape and the govt coalition could be changing again a year after the Bhumjaithai Party took power - and why a Casio watch is the smoking gun for some.
9) PM Anutin, currently in New York for the UN General Assembly, dodged questions about Klatham potentially joining his coalition, playfully quipping: “The signal hasn’t arrived yet.”
Thamanat, meanwhile, is in Japan supporting Thai athletes at the Asian Games in his capacity as president of the Thailand Aquatics Association.
Netizens spotted Thamanat wearing the same model of a Casio watch as PM Anutin - complete with his name engraved on it. Klatham secretary-general Pai Lik then explained on Facebook the watch was personally gifted by Anutin: “Not a first-hand watch. Long story short: it was taken right off the wrist. That’s all.”
A Thai rider thought a customer had handed him 5,000 Japanese yen, worth around 1,000 baht, for a 400 Thai baht food delivery.
But the “big money” turned out to be 5,000 South Korean won, worth only around 122 baht.
A painful currency mix-up!

PM Anutin had a few busy weeks with traveling abroad almost every week since late August:

- Aug 20-22: 🇳🇿 Auckland & Wellington
- Sep 7-11: 🇳🇴 Oslo (representing the King at the state funeral of King Harald V)
- Sep 14-16: 🇻🇳 Hanoi (Accompanying the King and Queen on state visit)
- Sep 20-21: 🇯🇵 Tokyo
- Sep 21-24: 🇺🇸🇺🇳 New York (UN General Assembly Meeting)
- Sep 25-26: 🇬🇧 London
Thai PM Anutin Charnvirakul arrived in New York from Tokyo to attend the UN General Assembly - with a Frank Sinatra reference - as part of a global weeklong investment roadshow that’ll take him to London after this.
