Did a Thai Democrat Party MP show pornographic image in Thai Parliament?

Normally debates about issues such as constitutional reform are staid boring affairs, focusing on legal details, procedure and the like.
Not today in the Thai Parliament.
As Thai Democrat Party MP Pirapan Salirathavibhaga got up to make his case to Thailand’s assembled lawmakers a pornographic image flashed up on the presentation screen.
Luckily the moment was caught on video (for readers 18 and over only please).
Yet the appearance of this mystery porn star didn’t only occur once. Her image appeared three times during Mr. Pirapan’s speech.
At present it is not known if the image came from a computer belonging to Mr. Pirapan or was sourced from a Thai Parliament’s staff member’s device.
If Mr. Pirapan is confirmed as the source will the usual morally pious and very uptight Democrat Party leadership be bowing their heads in collective shame for damaging Thailand’s morality?
