The Palang Pracharat party launched a new pocket-sized biography of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, titled “Pracharat: Nation Building,” to help the public understand his true character.
The 157-page book details Prayut’s life from childhood, through his military career, his marriage, the rationale for the 2014 coup, and his government's achievements.
It also reveals aspects of his private life, including hobbies and favorite pets, and concludes with his decision to become the party's sole prime ministerial candidate.
Party leaders stated the book is not for sale or direct campaigning, but rather for party candidates and representatives to effectively relay party policies to the people, with PM Prayut having approved its content.

Today 15:28 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's Tourism and Sports Minister announced the government will seek clarification from the Chinese Embassy regarding its recent travel advisory warning Chinese nationals about safety concerns in Thailand.
The travel advisory is anticipated to negatively impact the number of Chinese tourists visiting Thailand, despite recent increases in arrivals.
A meet-and-greet event featuring Chinese actress Bai Lu, a WeTV Global Ambassador, was abruptly cancelled just days after the Chinese Embassy issued its safety warning, though no official reason was provided.
The Chinese Embassy's advisory urged citizens to beware of job scams, fraudulent investments, suspicious travel arrangements, and the risk of illegal detention or being lured to the Thai-Myanmar border.
Chinese nationals were advised to verify job offers, use legitimate transport, avoid high-risk border areas, protect personal documents, and keep family informed of travel plans.
