BANGKOK -- Party leaders in Thailand's ruling coalition were invited to a banquet on March 8 hosted by Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha at Rajpruek Club -- an exclusive golf club in northern Bangkok near the premier's residence.
Palang Pracharat's Prawit Wongsuwan, Bhumjaithai's Anutin Charnvirakul and the Democrat's Jurin Laksanawisit were the key guests. A similar dinner was held nine days earlier at the same venue for leaders of the many smaller parties in the coalition.
