Anutin Jokes with Abhisit Over Cancelled Pullman Hotel Event
Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul jokingly invited former Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to dine with him after a political event at the Pullman Hotel was cancelled.
According to a report by Thai Post on August 31, 2026, a lighthearted exchange occurred between Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and former Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. The interaction followed the cancellation of a political forum that the opposition party had intended to host at the Pullman Hotel.
Abhisit reportedly made a remark regarding the missed opportunity to dine at the hotel due to the event's cancellation. In response, Anutin jokingly invited Abhisit to have a meal with him instead, claiming that dining with him would be "tastier" than the food at the Pullman.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, this exchange highlights the ongoing, often informal nature of political discourse in the country. While such interactions are common in the Thai political landscape, they serve as a reminder of the shifting venues and logistical challenges that can sometimes affect public events or gatherings in major hotels.
At this time, the specific reasons behind the cancellation of the opposition's forum at the Pullman Hotel remain unconfirmed by official statements. Observers continue to monitor how such logistical disruptions might influence the planning of future public discussions or events in Bangkok’s hospitality sector.
