Friends again, Prayut to visit Europe next month

By The Nation

 

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha will visit Europe next month to cement ties now that political contact between Thailand and the European Union (EU) has resumed.
 

Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai said on Sunday the premier wanted to visit key EU members including France, Italy and Britain to forge cooperation in a range of sectors.

 

The EU announced in December it was resuming political contact with Thailand at all levels, setting aside concerns about its military rule since the 2014 coup.

 

European ministers have been visiting Thailand since February to strengthen political and economic ties, Don said, and he also has visited EU headquarters in Brussels.

 

The foreign ministry expected to finalise the details of Prayut’s trip soon, he said.

Take them a bit of fresh caught fish, be a nice gesture !!

Friends don't usually lie to each other (about election timings) and f.y.i. no trade deals, FTAs or otherwise until AFTER the election. So, go visit Switzerland for your favourite items.

 

I wonder if he will, with his legendary candour (wink wink nudge nudge) and signature smirk, tell them how deeply he loathes and despises 'farangs'...

 

Not that he's any different, on that chapter, than his nemesis Mr T., who never missed an occasion to blame foreigners for anything that went wrong here. Oldest trick in a populist politician's book.

 

I'm pretty certain that most Europeans are deeply and sincerely convinced that Thais look up to Western people, admire them and love them, especially as tourists (which most white people wrongly assume to be Thailand's number one income). How utterly delusional.

 

Reminds me of this typical Winston Churchill remark : "Americans think that the French hate them, but they're wrong, whereas the French think that Americans love them, and they're wrong too !"

If that was based on Prayut's promise of elections in November 2018, the EU may be  disappointed. So the invite seems premature. 

Nice time to go to Europe  Its summer time great time for a holiday lol

Where money talks morals take a back seat !

Apparently while he is in the UK he is invited to the British Embassy for dinner along with the previous Thai PM (Yingluck)......now that will be interesting

No friends till you generals move back to the barracks.

Must try to get in his way, during his EU spree !!!.....perhaps if I do some proper boot licking, who knows, I may get a 10 year visa with no hassles,  and the driving licences with no need to "contribute extra" ? ?

Spending too much money again not of his own for something as worthless as he is. Ever notice that his nightly blocks of tv on every channel is against the law too? or should be against the law, a real law not his crap? Why? Because he is not royal Family and should have no right to tell all TV stations to give him free time. He is a military regime.

 

Free Tv time for all the channels equals big loss in revenue from commercials to shows selling items direct.

 

He should be responsible with little p to pay them all for the last 4 years of their lost revenue. Nobody made him King, but he thinks he is.

Whatever happened to those nice old German professional politicians who kept inviting Yingluck to address the EU parliament. Since doing a runner she has nothing to stop her going. For all we know she may have bought Maltese or Cypriot citizenship and be a EU citizen!

 

Would be interesting to hear her speech to the EU ?

Pssst. Don't tell him Britain is leaving the EU.

Please grant him asylum!

I presume they are still there but now inviting a         instead to hedge their bets. Just so long as the money, girls and parties flow. All in the interests of internationalism of course. 

'boxer, we have our differences. However I invite you in turn to join me and spit in all their faces, the smug ****s.

As ever the Eu are The hypocrites, and a beacon of everything that’s not democracy, ask the British voters !

Then he should also visit Australia because their tax system is set up for big companies to avoid paying tax and also they are also good at spending money on themselves Be a great visit I would say They can compare tricks they use. Like how to Bullshit to the people and make it sound so good that they think you are doing a wonderful job.

You may not know this, but there is no British Embassy in the U,K.

He May get an invite for tea and crumpets at No.10, if he's a good lad.

An alternative scenario is that she turned him down - which possibly started things off!
