The gobby Pattani fisherman (God bless him) already knows that the goverment's fisheries management and quota system is an ill-concieved, cobbling together of disparate ideas gleaned by well-paid but ultimately clueless civil servants from their well-funded jolllies to foreign countries ostensibly to investigate real-world solutions and their application in the Gulf of Thailand. 52 minutes ago, stephen tracy said: Deflection.

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. Please don't feed the troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parade ground behaviour in public is hardly dignified and certainly doesn't become him. Maybe signs of approaching male menopause. As of raising your voice to get attention is the thing to do.

No, but their coffee and baignettes are to die for. Are they what you get when you mix beignets and baguettes together in the grinder? Add a little flour and water, press into shape, 30 minutes at 180C and there you are . . . Lao baignettes. Excellent with their Arabica coffee, too . . . yes, seriously.

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 speaking Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk "impolite"... spare me. He's in politics, he needs to grow a pair. Is throwing banana peels polite? Is telling a grieving family whose son was beaten to death that he was not "tough" polite? If the little man-child is gonna dish it out, he better learn to start taking it. And as for "raping" the ocean, Prayut is protecting the very people whose status has been obtained by raping the country and its people for decades. Prayut is not, and never has done the "right thing". He does not know right from wrong. His version of "right" is what is in his interests, and the interests of those he serves. End of story.

Not something the likes of the man-child would ever understand with his billions stashed away. If he can’t make a living on going out 220 days a year, then the fish stocks must be dangerously low. Maybe the amount of days allowable should be reduced or number of permitted boats cut back further. Edited November 28, 2017 by Bluespunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't. If a "superior" raised his/her voice to me, I would either file a formal complaint with HR or resign on the spot. If anyone in a working environment slapped me in the face, they'd get their teeth kicked down their throat... you should find a different place to work.

tingtongtourist Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 As usual we dont hear what he actually DOES say in Thai language. Thai no different to any other language, can say something in many different ways but the words and delivery dont always match up to the English translate which might make it sound bad. Besides the only thing for sure here is he says KRAP at the end So all forgiven.5555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Loh Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 The junta leader could have handle the situation much better. It show that he lacks empathy, patience and intelligence to be a good leader. On the topic of allowing more days, he could have provide a better reasoning and explanation of the Marine Fisheries Management Plan that comply with FAO and other international standards on the limits of fishing days. I doubt his even know the plan. He could even asked the fisherman what kind of fishing gears he is engaged as the vessel day scheme differs. No he didn't as he know nothing. He just a general who seized power and not accountable and has no time for the little people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but as a 'politician' you have to appear to be humble. You're supposed to be dealing with real people with real struggles with a sympathizing ear. It's all about popularity and votes.

Yikes! and I thought I detested the brat. I guess that makes you a 'very-detester'. Nice one, Stephen, but steady how you go. I know, via an Aussie chum of mine, that the police are making 'social calls' on farangs, checking passports, taking lots of mug-shots and asking about nick-names. I have to wonder whether such calls are solely overstay generated or in response to last week's internet clamp-down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Celery Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 In a position of prominence, a person's inner nature will emerge. This guy's inner nature has always been an open book despite the carefully crafted Friday night propaganda. It's all been a dog and pony show, the guy's a muppet.

Done often enough, the populace will better understand how much of a catastrophe this man really is. The damage he has done and is doing to the international standing of Thailand doesn't bear thinking about. Bull in a china shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
