BANGKOK: Thailand’s junta number two has been snapped with 25 different luxury watches worth $1.2 million since a 2014 coup, social media sleuths said Wednesday, a day after the ex-general vowed to resign if a graft panel finds him guilty of wrongdoing.

Prawit Wongsuwan has been under pressure since December when the ‘CSI LA’ Facebook page began to catalogue luxury timepieces worn by the deputy prime minister from photos and internet news reports.
