PM Srettha Thavisin spent the morning of the final day of official Songkran public holidays visiting Thaksin Shinawatra at Chan Song La mansion. 

He offered parolee and former prime minister Thaksin a traditional Songkran water blessing, a deed associated with the Thai New Year in which people pour scented water on the hands of their elders’ and exchange good wishes.

The caption on PM Srettha’s X post reads, “I am here to wish PM Thaksin a Happy New Year’.

Srettha also alighted from his vehicle to greet members of the press in front of the mansion, amid speculation of a cabinet reshuffle.

Reports indicate that the PM and Thaksin had a private conversation after the blessing ceremony and the taking of pictures.

There were also a number of other visitors to the mansion this morning.
