BANGKOK — The head of the ruling junta said Tuesday he will visit Europe later this month to discuss trade deals.

 

Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha said he will fly to the United Kingdom and France to call for more investment and trade after the union normalized relations with his administration, which is trying to attract international interest in its development agenda.

whilst he is in Germany he might try to nab the monk

Tea and cake with Kn Yingluck?

[coulson]

 

“I’m not going for my own good. I’m going for the country’s. Don’t assume I’m going to go there, purchase something and have pocket money left over. If you think like this, shouldn’t I just stay put in this country?” Prayuth said

 

Facepalm.

 

Just go, pipe down while you're at it....better still don't come back.

[SABloke]

If you think like this, shouldn’t I just stay put in this country?” Prayuth said. 

 

Yes, you should. You can't communicate with anyone and are just going to look silly (as usual) with the little henchman/translator whispering into your ear all the time. ? I mean, seriously, this government can't afford a bluetooth earpiece like other rulers who can't speak the host nation's language? Or maybe Big P is afraid of an 'ear bomb' or something? ?

[JAG]

I wonder, if whilst he is there, I mean, I am building this model railway (to the utter mystification of wife and daughter) and there are a few bits and pieces I can't get over here...

I ticker tape parade in a open vehicle with cheering crowds for the famous leader of a country that is the hub of everything. Then his dream bubble burst.

I am glad P.M. Prayuth is going to both England and France. As the leader (unelected) of a small but significant S.E. Asian country, I hope he gives Theresa May a piece of his mind regarding the value of free speech and free assembly and reminds her that in his humble opinion, locking up Tommy Robinson for telling the truth is just plain unnacceptable, just as it would be in his own country.. 

[holy cow cm]

never stops. why does he even think he is important.

I already hear him asking: "Eh, your slightly used satellite system, how much would that be in rotten rice and durian?"

That goes with the "hi-so-ness"...position...

“I’m not going for my own good. I’m going for the country’s. Don’t assume I’m going to go there, purchase something and have pocket money left over. If you think like this, shouldn’t I just stay put in this country?” Prayuth said. “I could let the country stay like this. But I can’t let it go. The country has to move forward.”

 

Seems like the entire nation of Thailand can't even wipe its own arse without him. Thailand's future success or demise seemingly resting purely on his shoulders. 

[berybert]

Please don't go. How will we cope without  you !!!!

[Denim]

He needs to eat as much fish and chips as he can while he's there so that his codswallop  will carry a bit more weight when he gets back.

He is doing it on the cheap, B&B and brown ale.

Yes he was warned and warned again.The jail sentence was completely justified.Yet here in Thailand I have come across several morons - the usual simian like British racists this country sadly seems to attract - who regard him as a some kind of martyr.There was no miscarriage of justice.

 

But against stupidity the Gods themselves struggle in vain.These people will never "get it".

Germany can have him we dont want him in the UK

[Eligius]

'the European Union was unlikely to even push to send observers for the next election, which may take place in 2019.'

 

And there we have it: disgraceful unethicality on the part of the EU - and (as I keep saying) the implicit promise that the junta will be allowed to get away with election rigging and fake election 'result'  - because NO CREDITABLE INTERNATIONAL BODY WILL BE MONITORING THE FAKE ELECTION (which  - note -  MAY take place in 2019)!

[happy chappie]

All a load of political bs as usual.how can you do trade with someone who taxes imports 100s% .im in the uk and loading up my bags of food and necessities which are 3-7 times cheaper than Thailand.i would like the uk and France match the import duties that Thailand impose on goods.

Madness makes you believe 

[phil2407]

Disgusted - France can understand - they wave the white flag at anything 

UK - let Boris on him - goes like this " Wiff Waff comes out of your mouth Supreme Supreme Supreme leader - beer and stripclub - no ping pong balls and as you're Thai drinks and lap dances 4 times as much"

would be brilliant 

[maxcorrigan]

As i said in another thread, i wonder if he will meet the chief in the Thai Embassy in London, who's a red shirt and was ensconced in his present position by Yinglok's big brother, should be interesting!
