Popular Post fangless Posted April 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2021 1 hour ago, Crossy said: Don't forget, Canute failed in his bid ???? Sorry but King Canute succeeded in his bid to prove he was NOT divine; In the story, Canute demonstrates to his flattering courtiers that he has no control over the elements (the incoming tide), explaining that secular power is vain compared to the supreme power of God. The episode is frequently alluded to in contexts where the futility of "trying to stop the tide" of an inexorable event is pointed out, but usually misrepresenting Canute as believing he had supernatural powers, when Huntingdon's story in fact relates the opposite. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya Spotter Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Despite all the ribald posts, it appears to be an administrative step to consolidate handling and approval of various virus/Covid measures in one place, the Prime Minister's office and not the myriad of state agencies mentioned. It's not like the PM will actually be making the decisions, which will likely still be made by the relevant agencies and approved and communicated from Government House. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Srikcir Posted April 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2021 PM Prayut took over Defense Ministry, RTP, and DSI. How's that working out? And now COVID Czar. Next thing is he'll claim charge of the entire government. Oh, wait he's already Head of Government, maybe he pretends he doesn't know? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hayduke Posted April 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) PM appointed Thailand’s “COVID Czar” Hallelujah!! A truly wise and inspired choice….the prayers of the people are at long last answered. With the magnificent Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha leading the way, success is guaranteed. The Thai people can celebrate with unparalleled joy, supreme confidence and limitless love for the enlightened, virtuous, and divine Supreme Leader. Poisonous and degenerate foreign vaccines are completely unnecessary ….for Thailand now has a COVID upper-Czar who can heal the people with a mere wave of his godlike hand. All hail the Czar.

mtls2005 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 He's already head of every committee (hundreds at this point), no clue why he needs more power? He's also minister of defense and the RTP reports directly to him. Looks like the road to Democracy just took a u-turn. Might be time to pen a new inspirational song, and then demand that everyone sing it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TKDfella Posted April 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2021 Well, without commenting on the PM's [cough cough] abilities if he can't trust his ministers to do the work why doesn't he just sack 'em all and be a one man government...Oh I forgot they voted him there. Well, he could just place them all on 'inactive' duties or has he just done that????? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 So he is emulating his good overlord President Zi from China and taking all Titles. Looks like he will become the Czar of all of Thailand, hope that does not upset someone who truly pulls the strings. Wonder who will become the Rasputin of today and eventually remove the Czar and his family of cronies feeding at the expense of the people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget that Bangkok's pollution, Chiang Mai's fires, Thailand's dismal traffic safety, the poor education system, and many other problems such as gambling were not all wonderfully solved until the PM was put in charge of them.
