For the same reason they needed the GT200 bomb detector?

PM Prayuth to the World Bank. How can I run the economy? Why is the tourism sector falling? Why are the common people of Thailand faring so poorly? Can you please teach us how to run a country?

Wonderfully non substantive and non specific.  The UN people can at least work on their tan while there.  They will only be making the super rich that much richer and anything for the average Thai will be ignored with a gaping yawn from the military government. 

Did the World Bank give him their study on the Political Violence and Economic Growth. Empirical study that coups are economic disasters. Not that Prayut understand much and he is only a puppet. 

 

 

Now a follow up visit from the Rolex CEO can be organized happy days????

The ONLY important thing from this is that the PM got to wear a nice new suit. It's all Thailand cares about anyway. He does LOOK like a genuine PM.

Maybe he wanted to find out what they know he didn't learn at the military academy.

With glasses he looks "fatherly" which may be intentional as he has to look up to the woman whose hand he is shaking.
