Over the last month, Prawit Wongsuwan simple gesture of blocking the sunlight with his arms has potentially exposed a scandal. The deputy prime minister and defence minister was seen wearing a watch and diamond ring worth around $90,000. Since it has been discovered that he has over $1 million dollars of personal assets that were all undeclared.
From Richard Milles to Patek Philippes to Rolexes, Prawit had a really good taste in watches. The scandal has however affected the image of Thailands military-led government for the worse. The deputy prime minister when questioned about where he got the watches from changed the story a few times from not knowing where they came from to borrowing them from friends.
A political scientist from Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University has since said that Prawit is a dead man walking in politics, he is on political death row. Thitinan went on to also say that this will be the fuse that sparks the end of the current government and that a change is inbound one way or another.
Even though this matter is very serious, to put a lighter spin on the situation is to wonder why he needed such expensive goods when he is the deputy prime minister of a Thailand which is renowned for great fake/replicas.
