Thailand’s PM candidate front-runner Paetongtarn delivers baby two weeks before…
BANGKOK – Front runner candidate for Thailand’s top post, Ms Paetongtarn Shinawatra, gave birth to her second child on Monday, two weeks before the country’s May 14 election.
“Thank you for all the support, in a few more days when my mother is stronger, I will meet the media,” read the caption. It was only in April that she limited her in-person campaign appearances to rallies in and around Bangkok and attended events in farther-out provinces through video-conference calls.
“This morning, I am very happy to have my seventh grandchild, a boy,” he wrote, adding that all of them were born while he was living abroad.
