webfact Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 PM tells a fisherman: “Do not raise your voice at me!” By Thai PBS Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha yelled at a fisherman who raised his voice apparently to get his attention as he was explaining the latter’s question about fishing problem during his meeting with local people in Nong Chik district of Pattani on Monday. While observing an exhibition held at the central livestock market in Nong Chik district as a sideline of the mobile cabinet meeting, an unidentified man approached the prime minister with a petition for the government to amend fishing regulation allowing fishing boats to fish only 220 days in a year. He wanted the fishing period to be extended so fishermen will have more income to cope with their expenses. As the prime minister was explaining his problem while many local residents were listening, the fishermen raised his voice to interrupt him, prompting him to yell back: “Be patient, do not raise your voice at me. Do you understand? I am listening to you, you can speak as normal, thank you.” Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/pm-tells-fisherman-not-raise-voice/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2017-11-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadbury Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The inner man revealing himself yet again along with his short fuse. Parade ground behaviour in public is hardly dignified and certainly doesn't become him. Maybe signs of approaching male menopause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) The fisherman reminds me a bit of the well documented philosophical and historic meeting between Diogenes and Alexander the Great.... When Alexander in his full splendor wanted to fulfill one of the deepest wishes of Diogenes.....Diogenes in his usual nonchalant attitude towards power or wealth, calmy replied to Alexander the Great in asking him to move away from his sunlight !!!

jaywalker Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Sounds like an idiot fisherman that does not/will not accept the fact that fish stocks need some time off from fishing to replenish. Nah, he just wants to rape the ocean as hard and fast as he can go (probably tossing EVERY BIT of garbage he has into it at the same time).

This is what I posted... "It's the Thai way. 'Superiors' can raise their voice at 'lessors' but not the other way 'round'." You call this Thai bashing? I'm just commenting on Thai culture. So if I commented on how Thais wai their superiors and how superiors wai back, which is a lessor wai to a lessor person in status, this would be Thai bashing. Absolute rubbish.

No doubt we'll be seeing millions of these posters being dropped from his airship . . . or his submarine, maybe, if they're training the new Commander.

Ricardo Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The fisherman seems to believe that, if he's allowed to spend more days at sea, there will somehow be a magical increase in the number of fish available-to-be-caught, or in the price he gets when he sells them ?

Ossy Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I wonder if, when he gets home in an evening, he asks his Mrs, "Tell me, darling . . . how is it possible for me to have become so hated, recently . . . and by nearly everyone, too? . . . That's what I can't understand. What do you think, darling?" "There, there dear . . . just get stuck into those . . . they're those specially tasty frogs . . . like the one you kissed for the camera, the other week . . . remember, that time, when you were trying to show your 'human' side. And don't go spilling gravy down that nice white jacket . . . you look almost regal in that!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayut is doing the right thing.The guy was totally impolite then you can expect this. I guess you were never taught not to shout or raise your voice when someone else is speakingSent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
