BANGKOK: Former Thai prime ministers Thaksin and Yingluck Shinawatra made rare publicised appearances at an expo in Las Vegas to showcase a start-up project which uses DNA samples to recommend food choices.
The siblings both live in self-imposed exile after being ousted by military coups during their tenures as prime minister. Thaksin was ousted in a 2006 coup after being accused of corruption and disrespect towards the monarchy. Yingluck was ousted in a 2014 coup led by Thailand's current prime minister, and fled the country when she was convicted of criminal negligence.
