Somsak - in Chaiyo district to preside over a Family Day ceremony during the Songkran festival in the province - was bitten on the calf as he visited victims of seasonal storms.

Reporters yesterday noticed that Somsak was walking unnaturally, and asked what had happened to him.

"I was a bit startled. The fabric of my trousers was torn but luckily there was just a scratch to my leg. However, I didn't want to take a risk, so I got a rabies shot," said the minister, who is deputy leader of the Chart Thai Party.

He resumed his itinerary after receiving the inoculation in a local hospital.
