Anutin Explains Running into a Wall Post as Self-Reminder, Declines to Say Who It Refers To

Prime Minister Anutin explained his post about running into a wall was simply meant as a self-teaching and reminder. He declined to say if it referred to anyone, touching his forehead and saying he had a bump, after people speculated it might refer to Sirikanya.


On 10 August 2026 at 10:05 a.m. at Wat Ratchabophit Sathan Mahasimaram. Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul gave an interview regarding a social media post that said, "Running headfirst into a wall every day, but the wall only grows taller and thicker. If you keep running into it, your head will hurt again." This post was linked by some as a reference to MP Sirikanya Tansakul, a party-list Member of Parliament and deputy leader of the People’s Party, leading to several People’s Party MPs posting rebuttals. When asked whom the post referred to, the Prime Minister raised his hand to his forehead and said, "A bump."

When reporters pressed for the intended meaning, the Prime Minister replied briefly, "Teaching myself, reminding myself."
