The Royal Gazette also issued an announcement that Thammanat Prompao and Narumon Pinyosinwat were to leave their ministerial posts as deputy agriculture minister and deputy labor minister respectively.

Popular Post webfact Posted September 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2021 Controversial Deputy Agriculture Minister Thammanat Prompao sacked Controversial Deputy Agriculture Minister Thammanat Prompao has been dismissed from the cabinet, effective yesterday (Wednesday), but only announced today, amid an internal conflict between him, on one side, and Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda on the other. Also dismissed from the cabinet is Deputy Labour Minister Narumon Pinyosinwat. The departures of the two ministers from office were published in the Royal Gazette today. Mr. Prayut gave an ambiguous answer to reporters when asked if both departures were a dismissal or a voluntary resignation, saying he has his reasons. But Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam confirmed they were sacked. Thammanat, in a press conference to announce his resignation today, in an apparent move to snub the government narrative, said that his relationship with Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan, also leader of the main coalition party, Palang Pracharat, remains intact, but he has parted ways with both the prime minister and General Anupong and he has decided to follow his own path, although he added that he has not fallen out with the two men.

mtls2005 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 He wants to spend more time with his wives. The bigger question is: Did prawit send thmamanat on this mission? And was it real, or just an attempt to find out who might be disloyal? Things look to be in disarray, but here there is still always a reason for the apparent madness. Can't see any way out other than a self-coup. Or maybe a RTA factional coup, which would then allow for a more liberal society, but leave the monarchy unreformed? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sydebolle Posted September 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2021 I - for one - shall miss the crook; he added lots of entertainment to the daily avalanche of what came out of the government house. As he is now "retired", a pilgrimage to Lourdes could be taken into consideration. After all, he has abilities beyond the average Joe; just take the misfortune of leaving Bangkok with a few kilogrammes of baking flour in your luggage just to get arrested upon arrival in Sydney. That nasty flour turned into illegal substance - hence some blessings from Lourdes or Fatima would be in order - me thinks! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
