Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul arrived at Government House ahead of the weekly cabinet meeting on October 27, 2026, but declined to answer reporters' questions about whether he had signed four draft royal decrees amending laws funded by sin tax revenues. He also refused to comment on whether he had filed a police complaint against the 'Good Dem' Facebook page over a fake 7-million-baht transfer slip allegedly for tea money. The premier then joined volunteers and outstanding youth from the Social Welfare Council of Thailand to promote Dok Kaew Kalaya (water lily) products — the symbol for persons with disabilities — ahead of the 57th National Disability Day on November 14. When the council offered him a Buddha Sothon statue, Anutin asked, 'May I decline?' before posing for photos. Only one minister, Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn, was absent from the cabinet meeting.
