[...] The Poseidon caper is pretty funny. Good to see exploitation of women by women still in vogue. [...]

Both Reuters and AP are continuing to soft-peddle Mrs. Pornthiwa’s background.

“New Thai cabinet faces flak on many fronts”
By Nopporn Wong-Anan (Additional reporting by Pracha Hariraksapitak)
“‘People who will be handling economic ministries must be professionally accepted. They must not be rookies,’ [Board of Trade chairman] Pramon [Sutivong] said, singling out Industry and Commerce as particular areas for concern.” (…) “The proposed ministers have backgrounds in nursing and running cocktail lounges respectively, but come from the minor parties propping up his slender parliamentary majority.”

“Thailand’s new government endorsed by king”
By AMBIKA AHUJA
“Abhisit also appointed the wives of two Thaksin allies who received five-year bans from politics after the 2006 coup. Commerce Minister Pornthiwa Nakasai used to manage cocktail lounges owned by her family, and Information Minister Ranongrak Suwanchawee is a former nurse. ”

Cocktail Lounges? Calling the Poseidon massage parlour a cocktail lounge is like calling an aircraft carrier a floating mess hall and points up an astonishing degree of journalistic malfeasance.

If a man like Chuwit runs the establishment, it is ok but this is a woman so it is something unusual which should be mentioned in the Guiness Book. I was once in Poseidon being asked to accompany by a regular who is a top businessman (but I don’t have the same deep pocket as his). Basically the place is divided into two sections, the massage parlor itself and the lounge where one can order snacks and drinks while chatting with the hostesses (the same quality/level as what you can find in the asiansweetheart.blogspot.com. So this is the place where I spent my time while waiting for my friend to do his “business.” I think it’s only a matter of time before Chuwit fires his first salvo and all hell breaks loose. To be sure, the new cabinet has a credibility problem even before it starts.

Very cute. I mean after you’ve read VERY THAI three times and think there’s nothing left to learn, along comes a Commerce Minister who ran the world’s largest hi-end brothel. It just makes you love living in Bangkok even more!

And the rest of the world’s politics seem so boring …
