Kenneth on How Prince Dhani Read Important Economic Plans in His Privy

Prince Dhani, the minister of education at that time, came all the way down from Bangkok to read Pridi's economic plan that Kenneth had obtained when he was still a missionary. The documents were classified and could not be in the public domain. The only place of privacy was in the toilet, so the prince betook himself to the privy, sat on the toilet, and carefully read the precious documents that interested him.
