Yes, and when he's serious his eyebrows point up in the middle and nostrils duly flare, sickening self-centred person, and cowardly preventing any comebacks in his reign with his blanket amnesty!

I'd say the FIRST military coup was the most hard-working post-coup government as none ever preceded it! It totally changed Thai governance that essentially remains unchanged today.

As far as "in Thai history," 800 years of history preceded the first military coup.

Well on some fronts Prayut has that right.

Especially when it came to post-coup elected government administrations, none were as demonized and politically attacked as by Prayut's regime.

 

 

I assume you're not referring to the History taught in Thai schools?

Comedy corner made me laugh again, thanks a lot K. Prayut.

Fair enough, now explains its origin and we will move on.

He won't do that, if he was a business owner he would have to risk a drop in his income, and not too many business owners have his self appointed protection past present and future, the man is demented, if anyone needs the service of a spin doctor, it's this bloke, but his ego would never allow that!

Quote

'Mine has been most hard-working post-coup government in Thai history,' PM claims

and you enjoy every minute of it, don't you?

B.t.w., this is still a coup-government, post-coup will come after an election, or another coup (post-coup-coup)

As a non-native English I would assume that "blowing one's own trumpet" is the proverb. 

Considering the fact that they did not get voted into office, that congregations are not possible and that military spending (buying three sub-marines springs to mind) is below the radar .....

Go figure. The credit on the Tham Luang story goes to the local governor (being moved to Phayao for his honesty which upset some Chiang Rai tycoons) and to the professional divers, Thai navy and foreign volunteers alike, while little issues like the ongoing murder frenzy on Koh Tao, blaming Chinese tour operators for the drowning of a tourist vessel some 2'500kms away from the Chinese border etc. etc. remain unmentioned!

Yes , well done how  much have you and your pals managed to stash away in your accounts "this  time" and all for the "good  of the country"..well done

Just shouting something or do you have any proof?

Endemic embezzlement on all levels is a skill in the hard work department then.

All thanks to Deputy PM Prawit in fact.... He has always been on the watch ? 

"Mine has been ,  and will continue to be , the only post-coup government allowed  in future Thai history ,'  PM states.

Totally agree with you. On 'blowing one's own trumpet': the Germans have a relevant saying here - 'Eigenlob stinkt', which means 'Self-praise STINKS'.

It does indeed, Mr. Prayut - it does indeed.

Yes, the "Mine" has been a very revealing episode in Thai history. With every article and every quote, Narongsak Osottanakorn looks more and more like a leader, and someone else looks less and less like a leader.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday claimed that his had been the most hard-working post-coup government in Thai history, and one that had achieved a lot for the country.

Well nobody can disagree with that..... or they will be arrested!

I think he's doing a smashing job.

Yeah, he's turning out to be a right good politician. 

'Foreign countries praise us.'

 

They do? For what, exactly?

 

'No other developing countries have been able to achieve what we have done.'

 

Which is what, precisely?

 

'He also said that as the NCPO head, he was being investigated in 400 cases. '

 

Well, the one cancels out the other, doesn't it? 

The PM Prayut Chan-o-cha denied that the young footballers trapped in Tham Luang cave were tranquilised before setting out on the journey through the convoluted cave system to freedom. He did, however, admitted that they took an anxiolytic, a drug to relieve anxiety.

Anxiolytic drugs are commonly used before general anaesthetics or in treatments where facilitators or patients wish to reduce the level of anxiety. The patient remains fully awake.

Spanish diver Fernando Regal, who was part of the rescue operation, tells the BBC that: “[The boys] were sedated, they were unconscious, they were breathing.”

It seems to me almost impossible to believe that the boys were actually unconscious. That would have been extremely dangerous indeed. The use of a sedative makes much more sense - as that simply calms one down (while one remains fully lucid and aware). But totally unconscious? I very, very much doubt that.

 

But maybe Sheryl, our resident medical specialist on the Cave Rescue threads, could help us further ...

 

 

Well time will tell. After a few decades the truth will be told. And if you are who you say you are then the thai will love you forever and you will have earned youre place in history.

CNN Dr Sanjay said it was a mild form of sedative. Prayut no doctor.

Insecure VPNs but have balls of steel.

A master manipulator hoping to work his way into an elected office by claiming self sacrifice. Credit goes to anyone who gets into such a person of power although ethically there may be some condemnation for not returning his country to democracy sooner. If he was not without political skills he could not have risen to a prominent position in the military (same can be said for anyone in any military) and he has leveraged these to his benefit, others wish they have been so skilled, but has the country benefited?
