PM Anutin Posts Casual Shorts Photo After Newin Controversy
PM Anutin posted a casual family photo in shorts, appearing to defend the outfit choice after Deputy PM Praphat faced criticism for wearing shorts to a religious ceremony in Nakhon Si Thammarat.
On August 2, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Interior Minister posted a family photo on Facebook with the message "Wearing shorts is fine…feels good" and the hashtag #the wind is cool. The post appears to be a lighthearted response to recent controversy when Newin Chidchob, chairman of Buriram United Football Club, and Deputy Prime Minister Praphat Ratchakitprakarn attended a ceremony at the City Pillar Shrine in Nakhon Si Thammarat on July 31 wearing shorts in their capacity as southern leaders of the Bhumjaithai Party. Chidchob's attire drew public criticism for being inappropriate for the religious ceremony.
