He seems very Westernised so might not be as anti farang.

Well the Eastern Tigers have had their chance, maybe it's time for the King's Guard to have a go at it.

In Thailand, you can go any direction on any road at any time. Lanes and directions are only suggestions.

Indeed. If memory serves, he denied his coup even after he declared a state of emergency, until he finally said it's a coup after all.

 

Also, shouldn't it be the current army leadership that denies coup rumors instead of him? If they stage a coup, then to get rid of him and his government. He would be the last to know.

[tandor]

...so it maybe true?

That is a shame. Be tragically ironic if someone stole power, in exactly the way he did to take it himself in the first place.

What will the TVF'ers that were anti Prayut coup do now. Will they support a coup that is anti Prayut?

American tanks being sold to the Ukraine ?   Er, i don't think so....... Compared to the Russian tanks they're more like an armoured Tuk Tuks..... 

February, The government has defended its recent move to purchase tanks worth US$221 million from Ukraine.

What do you mean?    Your comments seem to reflect a different Thailand .....   numbers don't lie.

Thailand handled the COVID19 crisis very well as there were minimal cases or deaths, unlike other countries that skyrocketed.

Thailand had an increase of GPD year on year since Khun Prayut Chan O Cha came to office in 2014.

Thailands government spending on infrastructure rose more year on year since Khun Prayut came to office.

Khun Prayut implemented more projects in the last 5 years than predecessors tried to do in 10 years.

Prayut Chan-o-cha is a Thai politician, retired Royal Thai Army general officer and former leader of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), the military junta which governed Thailand between 22 May 2014 and 10 July ... including his brother Preecha Chan-o-cha and Minister to the Office of the Prime Minister ...

Net worth‎: ‎2000 million baht (2019)

Years of service‎: ‎1972–2014

Political party‎: ‎Independent

Born‎: ‎21 March 1954 (age 66); ‎Nakhon Ratchasima

 

He’s helped some of the people get richer.  According to the World Bank from 2015-2018 the poverty rate went from 7.2% to 9.8%. The number of people living in poverty went from 4.85 million to 6.7 million.  Poverty rate went up in 61 of the 77 provinces.

Yes he did. Never believe anything until it's been officially denied.

Those are American.......  Anything coming out of the Ukraine will be Russian....... Ooooh big tea money on that deal ?

Just found this in the internet: Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha’s nickname: The Drunken Boxer

In the eyes of the press, Prayut seems like a confused boxer especially when he condemned certain policies but ended up embracing them, such as the populist policy, attracting MPs from other parties, appointing ministers who were involved in past political rallies, and raising minimum wages. Prayut also seems confused when facing questions from the opposition and on many occasions simply changed the subject.

 

Anyway, let's hope there is no coup and Papa is right. We have enough troubles with Corona.

Businesses set their employees on the road from one day to the other.
Same businesses received support from the government while the starving employees lined up for free food at the temples.
That's the truth...

[Blumpie]

Oh no, no no no.  No coup here, no nothing to see.  No, nothing happening.

 

*ahem*
