Popular Post webfact Posted March 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2021 Irked Thai PM sprays reporters with hand sanitiser to duck tricky questions Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha sprays hand sanitizer at front row journalists to avert answering questions on the latest Cabinet reshuffle in Bangkok, Thailand, March 9, 2021. Thai Government House/Handout via REUTERS BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha left reporters stunned and amused on Tuesday when he interrupted his own news conference to spray them with hand sanitiser in a bid to dodge tough questions. Prayuth became frustrated when asked about a list of potential candidates for vacant cabinet posts, following last week's jailing of three of his ministers for insurrection during protests seven years ago. "Is there anything else to ask?," he said, standing at a podium. "I don't know, I haven't seen it. Isn't it something the prime minister should know first?" In the live briefing, Prayuth then left the podium, grabbed a small bottle of sanitiser, casually walked over to the journalists and sprayed each of them while holding a surgical mask in front of his face. 2021-03-09T132437Z_1_LOV000MTXJ57K_RTRMADV_STREAM-2000-16X9-MP4_THAILAND-POLITICS-PM-SPRAY-ROUGH-CUT.MP4 Thai prime minister Prayuth Chan-ocha on Tuesday, sprayed hand sanitizer at journalists to avert answering questions on the latest cabinet reshuffle after three former ministers were stripped of cabinet posts last month. Prayuth, a former military coup leader, is known for his casual, at times comical, remarks to media but he often lashes out at reporters. He was later filmed speaking with the same group of journalists and looking increasingly vexed, talking inaudibly while spraying them with broad sweeps of his hand before walking off again.

Popular Post TooBigToFit Posted March 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2021 Does this mean that Thai teachers and employers can now do this to their students without worry? Heck why be so limited, everyone in Thailand should do this. Bothered by someone on the BTS? Spray that person and walk away. Not happy with your kids, spray 'em down. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all his subordinates, from his point of view. He is ill equipped for the job he has. He is incompetent on a dozen levels, and mentally unfit. He really needs to be replaced with someone that is capable and earnest. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 For the most part, this is just another in a series of missteps that is a black eye for Thailand, in the eyes of the world. Really, the only positive thing the world has seen from Thailand in the past year, was its performance with Covid. And the catastrophic army failure in addressing the Samut event, erased all of that. So, we are back to zero, from the zero men of the army. Prayuth. Moving Thailand backwards at an alarming pace. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
