I hope they have productive discussions. Why wouldn't Prayut attend?

Embarrassing?

Compared to the (twice impeached insurectionist Putin adjacent one term grifter) loser that Biden defeated, Joe is freakin' Abraham Lincoln.

if a large international summit is planned only one month in advance that well can happen:

"Last month, the White House issued a statement saying that the special summit will take place in Washington DC at the end of March. ASEAN members, however, could not attend due to scheduling conflicts.

“It is a normal occurrence. In the past, we have faced the same problem and we have to find a new common timeframe,” Don told the Thai News Agency on Tuesday, after the cabinet meeting.

The dates of March 26th and 27th were proposed last week but, after a few exchanges, both sides realised that their leaders’ timetables did not match."

so fingers crossed that one will also be postponed

So what are they going to talk about? How to run a country effectively? Blind leading the blind.

Myanmar, South China Sea issues and ASEAN response to Russia's Ukraine invasion head the list.

We fell in love swooning over Kim's letter is not an embarrassment to you? Trump is in a different class of 'make my skin crawl" embarrassment.

Trade issues mostly. I doubt Prayut would be eager to discuss Russia.

Yep. You never saw embarrassment at that level before. The Finland presser comes to mind.

I think Biden meant Taiwan!

No he's so demented now he thought Texas! Since his popularity is now the lowest ever in recorded history at 33% he wanted the Texans or Thailands or .... by now Joe forgets the topic anyways.  To come to Washington DC. If his approval/ popularity rate is 33% in the whole country it's single % in Texas.  Also Kamala doesn't want him on airplanes anymore. He is such an embarrassment for the country. 

[overherebc]

I see a need for a translator to first turn Biden's statements into understandable english then a translator for that into Thai.

What could go wrong?

[lordblackader]

So let me get this right - Sleepy Joe has invited the current chairman of ASEAN to attend an ASEAN summit. WOW- who could have guessed that Prayut would have attended.

Yes, that was my initial thought, I was under the impression the USA only dealt with democratically elected leaders. 

I wonder if the US President actually knows how Thailands unelected PM who is really only posing as a PM, actually became PM.

I normally don’t get involved in political debate. And I’m not saying Biden is a great President.  
I don’t know why some are having issues with Biden doing this. 
im sure if Trump was President he would have invited North Korea.  Since he thought their leader was such a nice man.   But I guess that would have been ok.  
How conveniently some forget.  

You did notice that Rocket Man quit lobbing rockets and missiles (and testing nuclear devices) into the Sea of Japan when Trump was President. Trump knew where things were and who to talk to when needed and never did call the PM of Australia that guy down under...

This thread has nothing to do with Ex President Trump.

So would I. I would bet that a Thai soldier would not have learned much geography at a Military Academy to be able to talk about other countries especially ones from outside Asia. A discussion with Mr Biden would be nothing but an embarrassment.

This is Biden we are talking about. He can't remember what the nurses fed him for breakfast, let alone what happened in Thailand in 2014.

Did Biden not used to play young Mr Grace in the TV sit com Are You Being Served? Both him and Thailands unelected PM together? Oh! Wait!!!!!!!!!!

Prayut might consider being busy that day .

Being a Thai soldier he won't know what being busy is.

Well that's one thing both him and Thailands unelected PM have in common then.

So why didn't you bring that up with another poster who already mentioned him twice in a negative way in this thread (after 5 years of insane obnoxious toxic bashing)???? Funny who you choose to selectively pick on! 

No selection about it, just random reads ( and replies ). By all means forward my post to all others you know of going off-topic, thanks.

That's right. The US Administration has officially recognized Prayut as the Thai PM:

 

Statement on the Visit of Deputy Secretary Wendy R. Sherman to Thailand
Deputy Secretary of State Wendy R. Sherman visited the Kingdom of Thailand June 1-2 for strategic discussions with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai, and representatives from international organizations.

They were given a chance to prove that in court and all got throw out ???? Dismissed based on merits of voter fraud. Conclusion, no stolen election and the 10s of million need a dose of reality and wake up come from their the spell of cultism.
