Barack Obama in Khon Kaen

This Khon Kaen boy reminded me of Obama ... he said I wasn't the first one to tell him that.

This Khon Kaen boy reminded me of Obama ... he said I wasn't the first one to tell him that.

Last Saturday I went to Khon Kaen and had a great time speaking to 400 Matthayom students who were there for a project by the Government Savings Bank. And in the second row in the auditorium, I saw a student who looked like Barack Obama! His name is Mongkol Changmai and he studies at Wat Klang School in Khon Kaen. I told him not to smile in this photo, because that’s when he really looks like Obama.

Maybe he will grow up to become Prime Minister of Thailand. He couldn’t be any worse than the ones we’ve seen lately.
