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.

"The lady doth protest too much" as the bard once said.

 

However, given his 2018 Valentine's day song is currently running 46000 dislikes on youtube, I can understand he might be a bit miffed how things are panning out.

Thats not hard when his predecessor never went to any meetings or sittings in parliament prefering to attent train openings and durian farms.

 

Prayut only needed to show up to prove he was harder working.

There are still a few missing, such as fireman, airline steward, nurse, cooking lessons.... Err....

'train openings' is that another way of saying there's light at the end of the tunnel?
