Songkhla MP Meets PM Anutin at Parliament Again
Songkhla MP Channapat Naksaew had a second chance encounter with Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul at Parliament within a week. The Kla Tham Party MP greeted the Prime Minister briefly as Anutin arrived for a House session on November 11. Channapat later told reporters he knew Anutin's whereabouts from overhearing Bhumjaithai Party MPs, and the Prime Minister's convoy arrived moments after he shared this information.
Songkhla MP Channapat Naksaew of the Kla Tham Party coincidentally encountered Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul at Parliament for the second time in a week, exchanging brief greetings and whispering while telling reporters not to pry. He mentioned hearing Bhumjaithai MPs discussing the Prime Minister's arrival.
At 1:40 PM on November 11, 2026, Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul arrived at Parliament to attend a House of Representatives meeting considering the draft amendment to the House of Representatives Meeting Regulations.
As soon as Anutin arrived, Channapat Naksaew, who was on his way to submit a complaint to the Royal Irrigation Department, met the Prime Minister at the entrance. He greeted him with a wai and they spoke briefly.
Before Anutin's arrival, reporters had asked Channapat if he was there to receive the Prime Minister. Channapat smiled and replied, "Don't ask about that."
Before leaving Parliament, Channapat told reporters the Prime Minister was still occupied at the French Ambassador's residence in Thailand and would likely take some time to arrive. When reporters asked how he knew, Channapat said he had heard Bhumjaithai Party MPs talking about it in a meeting room. Right after Channapat finished speaking, Anutin's motorcade arrived at Parliament.
Reporters also noted that on November 5 the previous week, Channapat had been seen seeing Anutin off from the Parliament building.
