Thaksin's son: Cheap, good food all around us

Cheap but good food can be found in front of the Democrat Party's head office, Panthongtae "Oak" Shinawatra said on his Facebook page on Tuesday.

Mr Panthongtae, son of fugitive former prime minister Thaksin, said an acquaintance had recommended that he visit a restaurant near the Democrat headquarters on Setthasiri road, Bangkok.

"Today I had the chance to eat in a restaurant recommended by someone else, before I go to Chiang Mai to take part in a by-election campaign.

"It is a red pork and crispy pork over rice and noodle restaurant called 'Chuchan', and the food there is delicious and the price is only 30 baht a plate.

"Interestingly, the restaurant is in front of the Democrat Party's headquarters. It unbelievable that fine and inexpensive stuff is around us, but nobody talks about it, they just complain: expensive, expensive, expensive," Mr Panthongtae said.

People would all benefit if they shared their knowledge of good places to buy products at good prices, he said.

The son of the ousted premier said he will recommend more restaurants to the people in the future.

Hey, it's all around us. Eat up!

I can't wait until he solves the wealth gap by pointing out that there are chances to embezzle money all around us.

I think the point he missed is that if you are the kind of person that worries about a 35 baht dish costing 45 baht, you are also the kind of person that isn't going to travel to get your food, especially seeing as fuel and transport costs have risen too.

The fact that the courts changed their mind after his Aunty became PM and gave him billions in tax back, suggests he doesn't eat at road stalls often.
