This doesn't mean the elections will be delayed for sure, but the continuing obfuscation by Prayuth on the timing of the elections and continuous shifting of goalposts, makes it more than likely. This is just a trial balloon. Stay tuned for the official excuse to be announced. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hope he stays in charge and elected when elections happen. Much better when Army in charge instead of of police IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiKiwi Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) And there we have it - his nerve finally broke - and that ladies and gentlemen, is probably the end of Prayuth and his sponsors' bold experiment. He is now counting on being able to cash in on what he believes will be a wave of national euphoria. Edited June 20, 2018 by KiwiKiwi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post holy cow cm Posted June 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2018 7 hours ago, webfact said: “Everyone must not forget about the most important thing. Today, the NCPO gives importance to the preparation of the coronation. Every Thai must not forget. This is important,” he said. “Don’t say I’m making an excuse. For this, I need the country to be peaceful and stable. It also impacts investments, too. The election will also go on according to democracy. I don’t think these go in contrast.” He must be choking on his noose that keeps on tightening every time he opens his mouth. Why is the NCPO even involved in this coronation? Is it because he knows the Thai public is becoming wholly dissatisfied and had enough of him and his military cronies? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 7 hours ago, webfact said: The prime minister broke with tradition in linking the royal ceremony with a political event. I think more than tradition was broken. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lèse_majesté_in_Thailand Remember also that Prayut has declared himself no longer a Soldier (promoted as politically 'neutral') but a Politician and willing Candidate to several pro-military political parties as the next elected PM. The installation of a newly elected government (and immediate dissolution of the NCPO as per the 2017 Constitution!) follows royal endorsement of the new government (essentially the Parliament). As such the date of the royal ceremony should not have any affect on the election date but merely affect only the date for replacement of Prayut's government with the new government. Prayut owes Someone a serious apology. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that will be clarifications to the clarifications he made on his US trip, and for sure there will be clarifications to the clarifications he will make on his Europe trip.

You say I do not want to see grow up under a gun, I guess living in the South you would say that, I think that is a hysterical and exaggerated remark no ones been pointed guns at me or my family. We will have to agree to disagree I have a son & daughter and all their friends 2 of which are in the army as a job are not bother about Prayuth they just getting on with their lives.
