yellowboat Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Somehow just do not see the current Thai government being very cooperative. Brought some small number of parts in from Vietnam and paid a crazy high duty. ASEAN trade benefits do not seem all that clear especially given Thailand's desire to go from 0.2 to 4.0 . To be fair, Vietnam is far worse when it comes to duties. Old blood and guts is talking less these days. Seems like he would like to run for office. The advancement of Thailand would be severely hampered should he become PM again. Edited March 31, 2018 by yellowboat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lungstib Posted March 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2018 As Gen Prayuth enjoys living in the past I wonder how he feels about dealing with Vietnam and Laos after 30 years of denigrating them as heathen communists. Does he admire their ability to wield absolute power in a way that he must envy or are they still the enemy not to be trusted? Funny how old enemies are now your nearest compatible friends, all despising real democratic govt. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably has less to say because he is busy running around handing out the 100 billion Thai Niyom free money to try to buy himself some popularity before the big day, whenever that might be. Took a while to learn from the "old dog" Thaksin on how money wins potential voters but it seems at last the penny has finally dropped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nguyen: 'Tell my why the Thailand Communist Party' cannot register for the next Thai elections because they have an inappropriate ideology.' Prayut: 'Thai people might confuse pro-military political parties with the TCP.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
