Then he will be paid what he is worth!

He has done nothing for seven years, so he should return the lot.

I didn't know he was being paid for doing nothing since he grabbed/stolen the power..... anyway, it would be interesting to see the facts, words are just words and from his mouth they are hard or impossible to believe

An auction of a few deceased persons watches might bring a good sum ! even was it washing powder ?

sorry Mr. PM but that is just buffoonesque

I disagree, he has done A LOT! Just nothing good...

Not nearly enough if this is true?

I would be more impressed if he said he was donating the kickbacks he got from the submarines or sinovac deals with china

he's got enough in his swiss bank account not to mention all the money sitting in his wife's and daughters names

They will all  be doing ok  anyway ,wink wink

I want fatty to pawn his watches and amulets and rings.

I'm sure his dead friend would finally be able to rest in peace then.

And fatty would be able to waddle to his Maybach ride much faster, avoiding the vicious and out of control thai media.

This is a mea culpa for the last seven years?

 

*salary* 555

 Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

 

I imagine the average Thai in the street, couldnt care less about you, P.M. or your oh so generous offer......

 

All they want (ed) was vaccines....Youve had plenty of time to get the, failed miserably, due to  reasons only you and your cronies know (sarcasm of course...intended).

 

3 months no salary? For all the harm misery death etc youve caused? Really!!  T.I.T. indeed.

 

Pathetic, shambolic, pitiful, disgusting, disgraceful, (I think you get the drift!).

Very noble gesture there by the P M .. no really ..

No. You already know deep in your heart that this gesture is not going to make anyone feel better or help the issues facing the nation. You are after all the the self-appointed Covid czar yet you wait on the sidelines while your DPM/MoH, the MOPH, the GPO and other layers in self-serving, sycophantic government bureaucracy vaguely finger point at each other as an answer to the simple question WHY HAS THAILAND NOT ORDERED ENOUGH VACCINES?

 

So, once again, WHY HAS THAILAND NOT ORDERED ENOUGH VACCINES?

 

PS: How are the new amphibious tanks that your chaps just bought from China doing? It is so very reassuring to know that the grunts that have to squeeze inside to operate them have, like all the rest of the armed forces, all been fully vaccinated.

I think all of them should give up their salaries for the last 3 years

So because the public suggests you lot should take a pay cut, you actually take a 3 month leave of salary to appease them, you didn't offer this out of the goodness of your heart because you don't have one, if you did, you would have done what the Israelis did and vaccinate everyone pronto.

 

Little too late, hope you are out at the next election because we know you won't get out before that, all PM's are gutless to admit failure and fall on their swords, too much money to be had.

Why not spend it on buying a few  more jabs to go along with the few jabs you guys have already ordered? Or not ordered yet. Or maybe ordered after all. Or haven't signed off on yet. 

Well guess the 700 + million that is Father "gave him to deposit in an offshore bank, immediately prior to his 2014 coup" is sufficient to sustain him thro these 3 months.

They sold them all to Burma

Poor man. That's an annual income of roughly AUD65000. I was earning twice that 20 years ago.

 

I don't know how he manages!

Jumping on the band wagon, a governor did it yesterday, always late to the party!

What a generous offer !

If him would leave his office I will in person pay him his salary until the next not rigged election and please take the drug lord , Mr Melu / Mai Mee and the <deleted>.. farrang construction worker that now are a expert in health whit you , thank you for your service and please close the door after you. 

Thats not even going to touch the sides, If you had said the whole of the government was to donate their salaries then I would be impressed  

cheap entry to the general election coming shortly, and not regulated by an election law.
It costs 125mln to buy the best cobra parliamentarian to their own stable. 

So this move saves a lot of money in the long run

So admirably benevolent….

Of course, there is alternative income stream… such a sacrifice !!!

 

I sure hope nobody in the Thai "government"  has the duty of passing along all these posts

to the people addressed in them.  

Venting what most of us know unfortunately accomplishes nothing .

If certain people are reading this site then they would certainly have the power to

make life even more miserable for the longstayers here.  Hmmm,  that does seem to

be happening over the  last five years,  doesn't it?
