He said even though 30 media representatives had been invited on the trip, only 12-13 of them participated. As a result, the seven million baht budget set aside for the tour was probably not all spent.

lmao...

Another trip...to research another parliamentary TV channel? That's just what the Thai people need.... It would save time if he'd completed his agenda in one trip instead of going to watch a football match.
