Former Bangkok resident now UK Green party leader

THE latest ex-Bangkok expat to achieve fame of sorts is Natalie Bennett, leader of the Green Party of England and Wales.

Australian-born Bennett lived for four years in Thailand where she worked for Australian Volunteers International in the Office of the National Commission of Women’s Affairs, before moving to the Bangkok Post newspaper, where she was chief foreign sub-editor.

Bennett, 49, recently earned some unwanted media exposure when she gave two ‘car crash’ interviews to Andrew Neil and Nick Ferrari on the Greens’ policies. She even admitted that the interview with Ferrari was “absolutely excruciating.” It was also termed one of the worst political interviews ever by some publications. Among her policies is the abolition of the British monarchy.

Arguably the country’s most famous recent ex-resident is Timothy Geithner, who attended the International School of Bangkok (ISB) in the late 1970s and went on to become the United States Secretary of the Treasury under President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2013.

Before that, Geithner was president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 2003 to 2009. Now aged 53, he currently serves as president of Warburg Pincus, a Wall Street private equity firm.
