rooster59 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Thai PM recommends two more books In a late night tweet on Friday, Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha recommended two bestselling books, ‘The Fourth Industrial Revolution’, and its sequel, ‘Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution’, both written by Professor Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of World Economic Forum (WEF). He tweeted on @prayutofficial that the books raise “many interesting issues”. “Thanks to Professor Klaus Schwab for these two books. I have read them and found that there are many interesting issues in them. I would like to recommend the books to you all” he said in the tweet. The books are signed by the author, with the addition of a brief message which reads: “For H.E. General Prayut Chan-o-cha with best wishes to lead Thailand into the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Klaus Schwab 12/07/19″ Full story: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/thai-pm-recommends-two-more-books/ -- © Copyright Thai PBS 2019-07-13 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SOUTHERNSTAR Posted July 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2019 I am amazed a man that I have never heard speaking, nor understand English (he uses an interpreter as seen on TV) can read 2 books written in English within a few hours and then give comment on these books. Amazing leader with amazing abilities, living in an amazing country.Sent from my SM-A730F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 7 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Reigntax Posted July 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2019 Shouldn't he adapt to the first industrial revolution prior to taking huge steps to the 4th. He probably thinks it a military coup or rolling in the tanks against a group of factory workers. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrTuner Posted July 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2019 I highly doubt he even knows what they are about. Otherwise he'd know he'll be replaced by an AI running on a C64 in a few months. Doesn't take much to replace two malfunctioning braincells. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadbury Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Somkid is looking a bit hangdog and disinterested. I wonder is the weakening economy getting to him. Prayut could read to him some enriching bedtime stories like "Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution". That might lift him up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-A730F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app He probably simply sits down at a desk, the two closed books in front of him. He touches his temples left and right with his index fingers, closes his eyes, chants a mysterious magic mantra, concentrates on the books' contents and - voila! - the words (or actually their Thai translation) burn themselves into his brain. Don't underestimate the truly awesome capabilities of a man of his esteemed caliber. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilotman Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I don't think that I have ever come across a country that is so uninterested in the written word. Apart from stupid comic books, Thais just don't seem to bother with books at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Jones Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I'm disappointed. I thought the books would have been "Mein Kampf" and "Soylent Green" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eligius Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) All I need to know is that this Schwab character is endorsing - PERSONALLY endorsing, in his own inscriptional handwriting - Prayut, after actually meeting, touching and praising the Leader. That is enough for me. I want nothing to do with such an 'intellectual' sell-out and scumbag. His book is one I will definitely NOT be reading!
