Party at Koh Samui! Who wants to join the PM on taxpayer paid mini vacation! Surprised there's not a 30 person entourage joining this jaunt.

looks, like agriculture minister Thammanas won't be travelling around with the PM for a long time, as he is hiding from mass media and from public attention for his heroin deals and fake diplomas.

 

Let's see how him suing mass media for spreading lies will turn out for him. 

Another day, another junket.  Oh the trials of running an unruly country.

I see Prayut was bigging up Suthep down on Samui. Everyday this government is reaching new lows.

Samui is one of the examples of bad police work: Lamai and Chaweng beach roads are one way roads, by many people it is not respected.
If you ask the police, "let's turn a blind eye when it comes to scooters"!
