BANGKOK, 11 July 2011 (NNT) – Incoming Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has taken her son, Supasek ‘Pipe’ Amornchat, to make his ID card after the law now requires all children aged more than seven years to have their own citizen cards.

The incoming prime minister took her nine-year-old son to make his first ID card at Wang Thong Lang district office in Bangkok on Monday morning as her son is having a semester break. Supasek was born on 29 March 2002.
