How can anyone call this anything other that completely botched, mishandled, incapable leadership, stupidity, malfeasance, neglect and lack of vision, on any level? The extent to which the handling of this has failed is historic, and if you were a supporter of this tiny man before, how on earth could yo still believe in him now? He has to go. Get out now Prayuth! You are not liked, you are despised! You are not wanted, you are not needed, and you are the worst possible leader for this nation, at this time. Far too polite ???????????? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be the straw that breaks the camel's back.... All Thais rich or poor are suffering to some degree.. yes trillionaires/billionaires have money in the bank, but they are also losing billions. It is plain as day that Prayut & Anutin have mis-handled this badly and to some extent even went as far as blocking vaccines from coming into the country. That is something the people will never forgive them for. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 The vaccine procurement delays are basically genocidal, so depending on which faction will eventually control the courts if and when he and his bunch of incompetents are being tried, the result could be anything from an acquittal to death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was decided for him and this is why his latest new law was over turned by the courts and this time round will most likely find him guilty and removed from his post, paving the way for already chosen new golden boy to take the post. All fark ups over the past 18-19 months will be attributed to Prayut and because he was punished, it would be like having a fresh start. First will hear the excuses how time is needed to fix Prayuts fark ups and then new golden boy will save the day Totally agree, but you forget to mention the massive payout he will be given so he can live his millionaire retirement in comfort???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hansnl Posted August 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2021 These Thai Lawyers would have been more believable if they had dared to go to court against China, the originator of the Wuhan virus. Politicians, loved or unloved, had to rely on "experts". And there is the problem, the experts didn't know sh*t. All over the world people blame politicians, blame China!!!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Asian countries were buying from AZ Thailand. Thai officials originally only ask for 3 million a month. AZ came back and convinced Thai officials They could give them 40% of what they produce a month 5 to 6 million a month. At the same time China was selling Vaccines to Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a good thing you know how to read or understand , otherwise it would be a real worry oh and for know it all nothing , China is not selling anything to Thailand . Sinovac has been imported and sold by CP group but for well read and knowledgeable people like you will stick with China selling to Thailand ????????

Popular Post Thingamabob Posted August 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2021 Prayut controls nothing. He is where he is to make money for his backers for which he is well rewarded. He will be moved on as and when they choose. Pandemic policy is not of his making. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post matta Posted August 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2021 First sorry for my English writing but I try to do my best. Pandemics in the past have always brought drastic changes for humans. This will be the case again. I ' m not a pessimist but in my opinion covid is just a harbringer. I think there are bigger problems ahead for humanity especially that pose a threat to capitalism in its present form.Everyone has been talking about covid for over 2 years now you has to look to the bigger picture also?We will have to adapt to a completely changed lifestyle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr Meeseeks Posted August 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2021 23 hours ago, candide said: I agree with you that Prayut may well be out soon. However, nothing bad will ever happen to him. He has well served his masters and the whole network, by implementing a system and a constitution which guarantees that political parties opposed to the yellow/green network will not be able to govern effectively. There will be a face saving solution, I.e. Prayut will be promoted where you know and someone from the same network will replace him. He will be taken care of with a golden parachute, just as all the rest were, Gen. Suchinda included. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Lol ...... you probably deserved to lose your job. "Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha with severe misconduct and dishonesty in the handling of the pandemic. " good luck with that one. I would not like to be Nawat Issarakraisin in several weeks time. Chances are he may become invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mere fact that the relevant court has accepted the petition for consideration shows how the wind direction is changing. As I recall, the whole thing exploded in 2014 when it came out that the scope of the proposed amnesty had been quietly expanded to include some guy in Dubai. The devil, as always, is in the details.

I would not assume this. That it has been allowed to go to court suggests that the elite in power have decided to allow it. There is a pressing need for a scapegoat and the logical thing for them to do in order to maintain their grip on power would be to throw Prayut under the bus and replace him with someone else of their choosing. Indeed it has puzzled me that they have not already done so. This may well be an orchestrated charade for the purpose of deflecting public anger while maintaining the status quo. In which case Prayut knows and has already acquiesced to playing his part (he may not have had much choice in that.) He won't see jail time of course and will be well rewarded for his fealty. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hey Scrotobike, It is more likely, the people from the shadows, than MIB, those un named, unmentionable, powerful ones we cannot talk about. They are who may finally usher out the current PM and his gang. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlylekan Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I think we all know if Prayuth was not in power right now, he'd be preparing or already took control of the government by stating that the current government in power is handling this very poor and its a matter of national security.
