One can't help but be reminded of Abhisit Vejjajiva when they meet Parit Wacharasindhu, a 25-year-old political novice and would-be member of the Democrat Party.
The resemblance is no coincidence; they are closely related in more ways than one. Mr Parit's mother is an older sister of Mr Abhisit, former prime minister and leader of the Democrat Party. Mr Parit also graduated from Eton College and then Oxford University, having completed the same degree course in politics, philosophy and economics. If that was not enough, the way Mr Parit speaks is surprisingly similar to his famous uncle.
"It's automatic for people to jump to the conclusion that Mr Abhisit and I share the same views, but that is not true. Even twins have different minds," he told Bangkok Post in an exclusive interview.
