Government House, ‘Prasert’ explains that ‘Thaksin-Ung Ing’ went to Khao Yai, there was no political meaning, insists that they only talked about their well-being.

Mr. Prasert Jantarawongthong, Minister of Digital Economy and Society, spoke about the case of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, former Prime Minister, and his family traveling to Khao Yai, Pak Chong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province during the past weekend. He said that Mr. Thaksin traveled to relax with his family. As for the ministers and MPs from Nakhon Ratchasima who went with him, when they found out that Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, leader of the Pheu Thai Party, was traveling with him, they went to welcome him. When Mr. Thaksin traveled with him, it was considered a second opportunity to welcome important people who traveled to the province. There was no politics in the conversation, it was just a discussion of well-being.

Is Nakhon Ratchasima a special area? Because Mr. Thaksin travels there often. Mr. Prasert said that Nakhon Ratchasima is a
large province with many tourist attractions. Many people go there often because it is not far from Bangkok. It is easy to travel and has good tourist attractions.

As for the family of Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s dining at Ramcho Charnvirakul Resort in Khao Yai, does it have any political significance? Prasert said it was unlikely to be anything because Thaksin has known Anutin for a long time.
