Well, politicians do love to sanitise news, but Thai Prime Minister went a step ahead and sanitised the media. On Tuesday, the famously mercurial Prayuth Chan-ocha sprayed sanitiser on journalists apparently peeved at their questions.

Riled by a question about a possible cabinet reshuffle, he told the reporters to mind their own business then grabbed a container of alcohol mist, and doused the front row journalists, before sauntering off.

In the past he has spoken to a media scrum while fondling the ear of one of the reporters and flung banana peel at camera operators.

After an event in 2018 he declined to speak to the media and instead set-up a life-size cut-out of himself.

"Ask this guy," he said, and walked away.
