Anutin Orders Portrait Hung at Prime Minister's Office, Breaking Tradition by Not Waiting to Become Former PM
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has hung his portrait at the Prime Minister's Office while still in office, breaking the tradition of only displaying former leaders' portraits after they leave power.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has broken with established protocol by having his portrait installed at the Prime Minister's Office within the Thaikhu Fah building on May 18, 2025. According to reports, the portrait of Anutin, who also serves as Interior Minister, has been hung on the walls of the Prime Minister's Office. This marks a departure from convention, as the Prime Minister's Office traditionally only displays portraits of former prime ministers after they have left office. However, Anutin's portrait was placed while he is still actively serving as Prime Minister, rather than waiting until after his tenure ends.
