Thai politics and noodles DO NOT mix




Thai politics is certainly a very interesting thing to watch with it’s bureaucracy, back handers, cars, second wives, guns and now we have a woman Prime Minister in line.

So what is in the headlines?

None of the issues above.

In 2008 the Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej was forced to resign his post because he performed on two cooking shows on television and was PAID for his time.

In July of this year (2011) the Prime Minister elect Yingluck Shinawatra was accused of buying votes with the noodles that she was cooking – which can be classified as vote buying.

Handing out real cash to be distributed isn’t?
