"Noo-Nim," the two leaders of the Bhumjaithai and Pheu Thai parties, embraced publicly to quell the red-green-orange political drama. Anutin said, "Put shaved ice in, then pour milk over it like this." Chulapan confirmed the mix is perfect and harmonious.
At 11:50 a.m. on 5 August 2026 GMT+7 Anutin Charnvirakul Prime Minister and Minister of Interior spoke at Government House after the Cabinet meeting regarding whether he had heard Capt. Thammanat Prompao Member of Parliament (MP) for Phayao and leader of the Kla Party, give news about government coalitions on 4 August, saying "Not yet. I came home late last night."
When reporters asked if there would be a mix of red, green, and orange colors, Anutin paused before replying, "Red, green, put shaved ice in, then pour milk over it like this." He gave a thumbs-up sign indicating approval. Asked whether he had discussed this with Pheu Thai, at that moment the Prime Minister left the interview circle and turned toward Chulapan Amornwiwat, Minister of Labor and leader of Pheu Thai, who was standing nearby, and said, "Here it is." He then walked over to hold Chulapan’s arm.
When asked again if the political blend was still working well—blue and red without adding other colors—Anutin and Chulapan smiled, and Chulapan replied briefly, "It’s perfect. Harmonious." While walking up to the Thai Khu Fah Building, reporters asked Anutin if they were still on good terms. Anutin embraced Chulapan for photos.
Regarding his recent visit to Indonesia and whether the welcome was grand, Anutin said, "It was good." When asked if it was as grand as when the three former prime ministers from the Shinawatra family visited Indonesia earlier, Anutin laughed but did not answer.
