spend state funds transparently and in the best interest of the nation and its people,

well, of course Thailand need new fighters, carrier, subs and other defense weapons.....as a country self defensing. surrounded by shark similar hostile countries trying to occupy Buddha's own land.

And it is the interest of the nation to have a fast railway connection between BKK and Pattaya or China nd BKK.

No need for better education,

no need for a pension fund,

no need for better environment

no need for road safety

no need to stop corruption and greediness for new watches

no need to push Thailand into 2018

but costumes to keep this country in a retro museum mode.

Since the current government and the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) took office in 2014, a countless number of social and political issues have been resolved and the wellbeing of the poor has significantly improved. 

Easy to say...I bet if he were pressed to provide examples the term "countless" would be suspect and the resolution may not be considered proper by those with wider perspectives.

Is this more of a statement to vote for him because he is in a position to make claims that others can't because they can't yet speak as dictated...oh, by him? Seems like the claims made could be challenged with good result if other parties were in a fair position to campaign.

I guess you haven't seen the watches and rings they are wearing lately.  Those poor seem to be doing very well in the last few years.

Yep, that's why they're called 'poor'- ços they're really rich. Obvious really. Nobody's poor in Thailand and the whole world will be talking Thai in 30 years. The good General said so so it must be true.
