Bangkok: Anutin Charnvirakul, the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, took on the role of "Teacher of Discipline" as he arrived at Government House, meticulously inspecting the white uniforms of newly appointed ministers. The inspection included fastening a collar to Minister of Digital Economy and Society Chaichanok Chidchob's shirt. Reporters humorously remarked on his father-like demeanor, prompting Anutin to clarify his role as an "uncle," while also showcasing his freshly dyed black hair.
According to Thai News Agency, Anutin arrived at Government House at 2:10 PM, still clad in the traditional Thai silk outfit he wore during a morning visit to the site of the Samsen Road collapse in front of Vajira Hospital. Upon arrival, he was greeted by three ministers: Mr. Paradorn Prisananantakul, Minister to the Prime Minister's Office; Ms. Mallika Jiraphanwanich, Deputy Minister of Transport; and Mr. Chaichanok Chidchob.
As Anutin greeted the ministers, he took a moment to ensure their uniforms were in order. In a light-hearted exchange, just before fastening Mr. Chaichanok's collar, reporters quipped about his fatherly conduct. Anutin playfully corrected them, emphasizing his role as "Uncle."
Before proceeding into the building to change into his white uniform, Anutin shared with reporters that he had recently dyed his hair black, adding a personal touch to the formal proceedings.
