Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday surprised the media and even his security crew when he rode a motorcycle around the road inside the Government House.
His security detail and cameramen were seen running after him though some of them gave up along the way.
The premier was inspecting a booth run by vocational school students who offer a free oil change for motorbikes when he decided to take a ride. The motorcycle belonged to a staff member of government house who had asked the students to check his oil.
Prayut, the former army boss, drove the motorcycle around the Government House compound before returning to where the reporters were waiting. He said he used to ride a motorcycle when he was a young solider.
