When the previous government took office he committed treason together with Suthep to overthrow the elected government. All he needed was a spark to light up the powder keg so he could march in and "save the day". That day came when the amnesty bill of Taksin became subject and people blocked roads to protest. There are enough people waiting on the sidelines who see the trough and and richness it brings, and they only need that spark to make the powder keg explode again so they can kick out the generals. Maybe Prayut doesn't see it, but this could well be that little spark that will topple his government. Prayut's position is a bit like being on top of Doi Inthanon on a Cool Season dawn where the clouds completely obscure the majority of the land mass below. You think you're in heaven, so distance from the teaming masses. But at some point the clouds dissipate, and there your are for the country to see - the leader has no clothes.

Stargeezr Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 When I think about a lot of political Thailand people and other countries a word I associate with them is, Corruption! This guy appears to be corrupt and thinks it is okay. Hope he feels a bit sheepish with his Wealthy Guy watch fetish. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More important than corruption ? I would venture that the root of most of Thailands problems start right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you not able to connect the dots? The most important concern in this country is corruption. Imo and missy others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arrogance of it was never shaken off. The military government's legitimacy was to a significant extent built upon sweeping away Thaksin's legacy or at least claiming to do so. This incident with the watches flies against whatever image the government proclaims and will create real damage if shrugged off. Anything less than a sacking of the Deputy PM post-investigation will probably not be enough. Edited December 23, 2017 by SheungWan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
