Thai Deputy Prime Minister comments that angered Kenyans

Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister  prawit Wongsuwan has angered Kenyans over his comments following the DusitD2 hotel attack in Nairobi.

He said he thought the Thai-owned hotel in Nairobi had been attacked by terrorists 'because the food is delicious'.

Prawit Wongsuwan, who is also the Defence Minister, made the comment this morning during a press briefing. 

Wongsuwan told reporters it was 'good enough' that no Thai citizens had been killed in the horrific attack in Nairobi on Tuesday. 

When asked why he thought a Thai-owned hotel had been targeted, he replied: 'I don't know. Maybe because the food is delicious.' 

The DusitD2 hotel is owned by Dusit Thani, a multinational chain which has 29 hotels and resorts in 18 countries.
