Opposition Leader, Mr. Sweet Face

Yesterday, I wrote a blog about Prime Minister Samak's nickname. I thought it was funny and blog worthy, but apparently, I missed the real story.

Nuch told me that his People's Power Party is in an uproar since they became aware that deaf people in Thailand refer to Mr. Rose Apple Nose by making the motion of sticking two fingers up their nose. Do this and everyone knows who you're talking about.

What makes matters worse is that the opposition leader from the Democrat Party, Aphisit Vejjajiva, happens to be 30 years younger and considered by Thai women-folk to be exponentially more attractive than the fruit-nosed Samak.




The Thai sign language symbol for Aphisit is to draw a circle around your face with your index finger, then give a thumbs up.

Sorry, Samak. Who could blame them?
