Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha arrived at the Government House on Monday, the day after the general election, later than usual.

 

He usually arrives for work around 8.30am but on Monday his vehicle was seen entering the Government House at 9.37am.

 

Palang Pracharat party, which nominated Prayut as its sole prime ministerial candidate, is currently neck to neck with Pheu Thai party in terms of seats won. 

 

The Election Commission has not yet announced the official tally of the general election.  However an unofficial count saw Prayut’s party with only a few MPs less than Pheu Thai.

 

Reporters at the Government House tried to ask Prayut questions but he waved them away and walked into the Government House building.

 

A source revealed that Prayut watched the counting of the votes until late in the night, which probably caused him to arrive late at the Government House. Prayut has no appointments or meetings until 6pm.

Setting the tone for the new normal going forward. 

I suppose it's better than stroking their ears, or punching them in the face.

Well probably an anagram of 'ears' anyway.

Why does he even have to bother anymore, he’s in. He’s always been in.

 

Good luck getting this dinosaur out of power, he’s gonna be there for a while.

Elections can be won or lost, often in the middle of the night.

Honestly.  Who gives a rip.  I've showed up late to work in the umteen years I've worked - and it's nobodies business either. 
This is non-news. 

Obviously, he was celebrating of course after the drinking ban?  Or maybe it was the traffic he was supposed to fix in 60-90 days?????

Think it's more likely 'smog' with a 'u'

When you've got the biggest guns and bank account behind you you can turn up any time you like.

???? the literal meaning of the word "senate" is Assembly of Elders.? in this instance maybe a misuse of the word - should it not be "appointed cronies"?

Does anyone know what the current status is of the election results as of now?  I’m seriously having trouble getting the facts.  

Despite all the "good work" I find it mind boggling, that a power, absent for 10 ½ years and jetting around with his sister, greeting royals (?) in Hong Kong still can call such shots. All remote control without physical presence - a miracle? 

In all fairness, it does not only reflect the power this man seem to have but also how weak the rest of the lot is. Rigging, fiddling, buying, meddling, protesting, forbidding and still not winning - the writing is on the wall in very big, fat letters. Latter though requires the ability to read ............

Jeez, I thought that was funny.  I went to bed last night thinking the PT projections had a wide, wide margin.  Woke up this morning and Prayuth was nearly in the lead.  Amazing, innit? 

If you are the boss it doesn’t count what time you show up for work! “I got a call from one of those annoying political pollsters and it took a long time to finish.”
