BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s plan to live full time at Government House, also known as “Ban Norasingh”, instead of at the official prime minister’s residence, is a break with tradition and could bring bad luck to the country, a ruling coalition politician has warned.

Speaking on Facebook Live on Friday (Nov 10), Samart Jenchaijitwanich, a spokesman of the Palang Pracharath Party and a former aide to the justice minister, said that none of the past prime ministers had ever stayed full time at Ban Norasingh in Bangkok’s Dusit district.
