Prem praises Prayut’s ‘Thainess’

[Wilsonandson]

Correct. It is a very unusual and very interesting situation: the monarch today is indeed officially the monarch - but as yet no Coronation has been held. When it will be held is as yet unknown ....
 

Yes, your right no date has been set for the coronation. Has this anything to do with the up and coming election next year?

Brilliant analysis, Kiwikiwi. Some will understand straight away and others will wonder what the hell you're talking about but that's what happens when language and ideas are forced into codes and circumlocution as they are in Thailand. Your post makes it very clear that the truth can only be told at the moment through fairy tales and comedy

Wonderful comments, Tomta, on a brilliant post.

Yes: fairy tales best capture the essence of Thailand (both in veiled language and in actuality!).

"The Emperor's New Clothes" comes to mind, Eligius.
