An opposition MP is urging Thailand’s anti-corruption body to investigate the source of luxury watches worn by deputy PM (and current caretaker PM) Prawit Wongsuwon. Prawit has always insisted he borrowed the watches from close friend Pattawat Suksriwong, who has passed away.

The Move Forward MP says this evidence should give the NACC grounds to re-open the investigation and clarify who owns the luxury watches sported by Prawit.
