On 30 July 2026 at the Government House, Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul chaired a merit-making ceremony for the 49th day after a death. After the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn and his wife, Natee Ratchakitprakarn, along with Deputy Prime Minister Songsak Thongsri, were seen chatting. At one point, Anutin showed Phiphat a Buddha amulet pinned to his shirt, creating a warm, smiling atmosphere. On the way to the Thai Khu Fah building, Anutin told reporters, “Have you noticed? Two Misters and one Madam: Mr. Natee and Mr. Nu.”Tags: [Government House, Merit-making ceremony, Anutin Charnvirakul, Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, Natee Ratchakitprakarn, Deputy Prime Ministers]
When asked by reporters if walking alongside Phiphat today was meant to dispel rumors, both Phiphat and Anutin laughed. Anutin responded, “Today is a Buddhist holy day.”Tags: [Rumor dispelling, Cabinet relations, Anutin Charnvirakul, Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, Buddhist holy day]
When asked about criticism regarding relationships within the Cabinet, Anutin said he felt nothing in particular. He joked that he didn’t know how to respond without seeming indifferent. He emphasized that every Cabinet member is committed to pushing forward work for the country. For example, Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchart Chomklin discussed forest encroachment cases in Phuket with Deputy Prime Minister Pakorn Nilprapunt, who is focusing on legal interpretations to close loopholes exploited for illegal land occupation. Everyone in the Cabinet supports him in his role as Deputy Prime Minister overseeing multiple ministries. Things are progressing well. Where constructive criticism is offered with goodwill toward the country and government, they not only listen but also act. They acknowledge that improvements come from such advice. He urged all parties to drive the country forward constructively. Our nation already has a justice system, so those dissatisfied should use it to resolve issues rather than relying on personal feelings or media analyses to judge situations. He reiterated that this is not the case now. The government is advancing development comprehensively with increasing achievements.Tags: [Cabinet unity, Constructive criticism, Forest protection, Phuket, Legal reform, Justice system, Government development, Anutin Charnvirakul, Suchart Chomklin, Pakorn Nilprapunt]
