On the 5th, during the Loy Krathong festival, Thailand’s Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Anutin, together with his wife and government officials, was spotted near the Government House releasing a krathong. Observant netizens noticed that Anutin had forgotten to zip up his pants. However, Anutin deftly defused the awkward situation with a humorous response.
Wednesday marked Thailand’s Loy Krathong Festival. While releasing a krathong with his wife to pray for the nation, Anutin told reporters: “I make wishes every day, not just on Loy Krathong. I wish for Thailand’s prosperity, peace, and unity, for the people to live abundant lives, have money every day to spend, savings, and happiness.”
Netizens Tease About the “Little Mouse”
Photos from the scene quickly circulated online, revealing that Anutin had not zipped up his pants while releasing the krathong, sparking lively discussion among Thais.
Anutin’s Thai nickname “Noo” means “mouse,” so many netizens teased about the “little mouse.” But Anutin later poked fun at himself on social media, saying, “It won’t run around.” Some netizens noted that Anutin’s witty response gracefully resolved the awkward incident.
