Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra urged everyone to "move on" and let go of the past, saying that holding onto old issues is a heavy burden. Her remarks followed criticism of her visit to wish Gen Surayud Chulanont, President of the Privy Council, a happy new year.

She said she rarely dislikes anyone and that her visit was simply to exchange New Year’s greetings. Paetongtarn noted that Gen Surayud, who had served under King Rama IX, shared valuable advice on water management and flooding, which would benefit the country. She dismissed the criticism, calling for less drama.

Gen Surayud was appointed Prime Minister in 2006 by the junta that ousted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Paetongtarn's father.
