And what of the Muslim, Christian, and Sikh politicians?

Saw HMK in Man. City Blue today leaving the hospital.

Maybe HMK is a Man City fan?

I think this is worthy of its own topic.

That first guy at the right is looking worried with eyes darting while he made his vow! And the third guy in suit looking very pious and sincere. What is the historical record anyway? Had there been any Thai politician struck by lightning yet?

This is part of the ECT’s samanachan (be of one opinion) project, which was first conducted during local government elections in order to reduce illegal practices in elections and reduce the number of subsequent complaints. The ECT has ordered all PECs to conduct similar ceremonies on November 17 at 08:30 hours.
