In a recent YouTube video, Tsai revealed that the terrifying incident occurred after one of his shows in the country but didn’t specify the exact state in which the event took place.

Now, the daughter of the country's most divisive but enduring politician, former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, will attempt to secure the office her father and aunt once occupied, underlining her family's central place in Thai politics. She would seek to beat another recurring theme for the Shinawatra family. The governments led by her father and aunt were toppled by the military in 2006 and 2014, respectively.
Srettha was the fourth premier of a Thaksin-backed political party to be removed by a court ruling, a sign of the deep divide that still persists. "When I was eight-years-old, my father entered politics. Since that day, my life has also been intertwined with politics," she said at a speech in March. Last October, after the Pheu Thai navigated a circuitous route to forming the government, she was anointed the party's leader.
