Good work from Khun Prayut Chan O Cha. It shows he is listening to the people and will review ideas from the press and other sources. Obviously concerned about the economy and ways to kick start it and get it back to pre covid days.

The difference is the Shinawatras know how to run a country.   He does not.  He is just a snappy dresser, though he needs to do more push ups.  Since government is a problem and not a solution, slash taxes to drive consumption.  If people are out of work, the tax base is small anyway.   Freeze all government non essential programs and pay raises.   If offering early retirement to uncivil servants will save money, offer it.   Scrap constricts.  Those are thousands of mouths to feed that do not want to be there anyway.

Get rid of the military government and restore democracy. Is that to much to ask?

like in the US or Australia or the UK huh ?   yeah  !  they're all doing really well thanks to democracy. 

[Brunolem]

The best way to move an economy forward is to keep government, military or else, away from it!

 

People in government love to micromanage everything: the pandemic, the economy, the school system up to the color of uniforms and the haircuts, the agriculture and what crops farmers should and shouldn't grow, and so on.

 

And getting advice from newspapers...seriously?

 

If they want good and informed advice, they'd better talk with taxi drivers, or go to the temple if they are desperate...

Interesting, especially if he "took on board" the many CONSTRUCTIVE comments from farang contributors to TVF!

They have put men on the moon while offering freedoms.

Nation Multimedia Group are one of his biggest supporters, owned by the husband of one of the PPRP MP's. Of course no conflict there.....

I didn't know that Australia and the UK had put men on the Moon...when was that?

 

But these two certainly don't hesitate to join the American "force of good" in order to "offer" freedom to other, less lucky, countries, notably in the Middle East, who can't thank them enough for their efforts...

Have a free and FAIR election, Stop military interference with politics, go back to your house in the barracks and stay there, Herr General. 

[jaiyen]

This proves he hasn't got a clue what to do !  He is asking newspaper staff for ideas on how to run the country ! That really is as low as you can get.  But I bet there are far better brains at Thai Rath, The Nation and Bangkok Post

Get rid of the drug dealer and the watch collector could be a good start.

[pattayadgw]

When the leader of a country has to ask newspapers how to move the country forward there is something terribly wrong.... 'OXYGEN THIEF'!!

Since Bush and Obama, Mid East policy became that much more awful.  Rand Paul tried to end the war in Afghanistan, but only got a few votes.  The US and other western countries are at a very low point in history, but there is a chance they will right themselves one day.  As of now, things look awful.

Convicts vs. coup leaders.  Gangsters are usually better at business than overly patriotic, self proclaimed saviors who are too lofty for debate. 

[Forza2002]

As if the great General "he who must be obeyed" is going to listen to the press. He never has in the past, why start now! More likely a token gesture as advised from his spin doctors to try and gain merit from the public...

If that's the only choices Thailand is doomed. !

I hope he doesn't get informed that The Nation also has a sister forum, because he might lose it when he start reading there

 

already purged most of those "troublesome" members.   i also am one that was sternly reminded of

my status and forced to repeat the iron clad rules .  the one about no dripping of ice cream when eating

my cone was a surprise to me.

Here's an idea, <deleted>! You did good banging your big fist on that table 6 years ago but have screwed your country going forward no end. Please disband your senate and depart forthwith since you represent not one iota of the populace.

True, but his spies can read and possibly understand English.  Sarcasm I am not so sure!

mr prayut. you have worked tirelessly to move thailand forward into the new world. it is time for you to step aside and bask in the glory of your accomplishments. no further improvement is needed. thai people will be forever in your debt. history will tell the story of the one who came in and set the ship on its proper path.

 

thank you prayut and buddha bless.

Nothing wrong with asking a public opinion.

Something the alpha male monkey in the US should have done...

You fail to understand that it is all for show.

Principles of Thai Management 101 - 

Lets gather all our serfs together to hear their voices and opinions.

It makes them feel empowered and we can show the rest of the world,

that we are a democracy and listen to the voice of the people - win-win

 

It's a dictatorship - do you really think they give a toss about anyone else's opinions?

Indeed there isn't. If only he'd thought about it 6 years ago instead of leaving it so long.
