Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda has voiced his support for Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to run the country and praised him for preserving “Thainess”.

 

“I’m glad he is our country’s leader and a role model for all Thais for giving importance to Thainess,” Prem said. 

 

Prem praised Prayut as the premier led his Cabinet members, commanders-in-chief, the national police chief and other top officials to visit Prem at his Si Sao Thewes residence to mark Songkran, the Thai new year. 

 

The group paid respect to Prem in a water ceremony and received his blessing.

 

Prem said he hoped Prayut would succeed in his work and service of his motherland.

 

The veteran political figure asked about Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan who did not attend the ritual. Prayut said his deputy was on leave for heart bypass surgery.

ooozzzing thainess

The Dinosaur, has spoken.

The rich and elite really don't wanna give the average Thai a single crumb, do they. Desperate to give nothing so they can keep it all. 

Yup, His Thainess. Thainess, of course, is a distinction given to the dwellers of the lowest levels of hell.

Please hand me the bucket.....!!

 

More than 50% of the population are excluded.....Which of course is according to plan...

No Khun Prem ....Prayut is not a role model...as a matter of fact most people dislike him...!!

But of course you have praise him...after all he has served the elite well for more than 4 years...

Lord have mercy....

A former coup leader praising the present coup leader.

Also known as consensual boot licking ....

It is a tradition that the sitting PM pays a visit to Prem around Songkran...

Remember the awkward visit by Yingluck some years back.....Wonder if Prem called her a role model too?

Oh the irony....!!

Watchman having problems with the ticker...

Looks like Gen. Prem is Prayut's role model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prem_Tinsulanonda Gen. Prem is 97 years old, surprised he is so cognitive...

"Prem Praises Prayut's Thainess". Well, what do you expect from one dinosaur to another? 

A bully who took power by force, is lauded as a role model for 'Thainess'.  A couple of senile old cronies.   There's no fool like an old fool.

Doesn't need to be.

 

Guess who will be next in the seat...

Mutual grovelling and ass licking. How sickening!

And only a few weeks ago this same Prem was criticising Prayut for rapidly using up any goodwill the Thai people might have felt towards him.

 

What utter hypocrites and liars - the whole bunch of them!

'Uncle' Prem is probably the most powerful man in Thailand....and has been so for many years....

 

He was the PM under military rule for more than 8 years....(1980-1988)

He was by many seen as the architect behind the 2006 coup...

He is at present time Regent pro tempore    (acting king)...since the coronation of Rama X has not taken place...

 

So don't let his frail appearance fool you.....He is calling the shots around here.

Interesting observatons, JOC. Unfortunately, I cannot comment as I would wish to on your most intriguing remarks (which you have placed in bold). My hands are tied (as are all of ours) ....

Yup, the red army that is....

Prem's "Thainess" is in a nutshell everything that's wrong with the country.

Help me, I need a sick bucket!

Extinction ?

A "role model"? In that case I guess outright theft, nepotism, lies, corruption, usurpation, illegal detention (abduction) and squandering tax payers money or all things to aspire to.

role model for all Thais

Yes, taking a country by force and consistently delaying everything is a great role model to the thai youth.

That's the game plan, for sure.

Yes, a great role model: snarling, grouchy, peevish, lashing out at people who dare to utter even one simple question, using foul language, never using his (non-existent) brain, threatening to execute people, torturing people's ears and minds with drivel called 'songs' - yes, an excellent role model!
