Pithoon said that the Secretariat of the Thai House of Representatives has already been informed by the Bureau of the Royal Household that His Majesty the King will grant an audience to Thai House Speaker Somsak Kiartsuranont, who is also the country's Parliament President, at 5:30pm on August 8 at Bangkok's Siriraj Hospital, where the revered Thai monarch has been recuperating.
Pithoon revealed that the Bureau of the Royal Household said in the letter sent to the Secretariat of the Thai House that His Majesty the King will endorse a royal command officially appointing Yingluck as the Kingdom's new prime minister when the Thai House Speaker is granted the audience with the beloved Thai monarch.
