I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Prayuth chan o cha, and couldn't pour pi55 out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel, I am all Thai men as I am no man and therefore I am... a God.

Does Prayuth have a horse he can put in the senate or does all those generals count

What a sad state of affairs, The man who knows nothing but bullying, now thinks he can control the virus.

King Canute he is not.

As I recall from my history lessons, King Canute failed in his endeavours. So, perhaps not so different. Lets see if this one gets his feet wet?

[IamNoone88]

I simply want a Pzifer or Moderna vaccine and am willing to pay for it - why is that so faarking hard?

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.

Spoil sport. You've now taken the shine of the original post.

It could have been worst...it could have been been Prayut's righthand man, The Watchman. 

 

Very scary "the watchman" can't even wear a watch on the left.

Thanks for this link.

 

It is a hard hitting and IMO a largely accurate assessment of the story behind the headline.

That would be because his dominant hand is the left perhaps?

I am STILL WAITING for the soap operas he promised to write.

He looked a right prat before. Now this really proves the point.

Tourists will not come until 70% of the general population in Thailand has been vaccinated ...... with the right vaccine which will have to come from the in country monopoly manufacturer/supplier. 

[robert888d]

I despair .

I fear thousands are going to die 

Their vaccination programme is useless.

So sad.

[johnarth]

the cabinet is what you call wiping its hands clean of the problems and giving them to the general the people have made it clear they want mouthpiece Anutin gone so now the general is lined up (he not looking to good) this could be a bloodless end of the general, but then what of the general/s cabinet? will they appoint Big joke as the next leader? if not him who? 

[Xonax]

Perhaps we can get the population vaccinated faster then, now only one large envelope has to be negotiated with the vaccine suppliers?

I have full and unmitigated confidence in the world-class leadership of democratically elected Prayut Chan-o-cha!

An ex soldier with a military academy education, an unelected "PM" in charge of a pandemic of which he is partly responsible for? I don't know what else to say.

[Dog walker]

The PM must have a lot of spare time on his hands to take this on, complete domination of power comes to mind

Perfect.. If he fails than we can get rid of his man, because he will be the man who is the only man responsible for the Covid crisis.. Can't wait because he will fail

He will just be replaced by another general.

Let's see if he can do as good a job as Winnie did when he used god mode.

 

The thing is that he will be the voice and face but the same clowns will be doing all the work

 

[JohnHans]

How about give the people the vaccination ACT?

Clowns can sometimes be entertaining and amusing.

[DefaultName]

To me, it makes sense.  decisions by committee are slow.  Covid needs fast decisions.  The work will be done by the same people, but the decisions on implementation by one.

[ChrisKC]

A self-appointed inmate running the Asylum!

[Patong2021]

The beginning of the end.  Unfortunately,  thousands may die needlessly along the way.
