Should read "that the prime minister admitted he was loaded with so many brown envelopes that he regularly needs time to open them and count what's inside and makes mistakes" 

Yes, but never with the counting...

The people love this girl. She's pretty, talented and charismatic. She casts Thailand in a good light on the global stage.

 

Prayut on the other hand? Yeah not so much.

 

At least he's acknowledged this is a battle he cannot win.

Does anyone know why they write names like this?  Full name, nickname and stage name?  We never see this in Western media.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, aka The Rock, on line 2 for you.

I think it's spelled Milli, but pronounced Minnie?

That's not the same.  He is Dwayne Johnson now as an actor, but was previously known as "The Rock" when he was a wrestler, so "The Rock" is included as a reference to that.  People do still sometimes refer to him as just "The Rock" also.

 

I'm talking about people like Eminem, Dr Dre., etc..  Generally just the stage name is given, not full name, nickname and stage name.  It's quite unusual.

A U turn that is easily seen for what it is … Maybe the Scandle of the Police inspector who had to run and hide in Australia is catching up on them

You have missed the interesting bit.

Her 'songs' criticise the government  - especially the PM.

She has been fined for spreading fake news and is being sued by Prayut for 'slander'. He is trying to put her in prison!

Buit she's promoting mango and sticky rice so she'll be OK!

[sambum]

" the prime minister admitted he was loaded with so much work that he occasionally makes mistakes,........."

"According to Nirote, Gen. Prayut said he would reconsider his conduct."

 

Interesting change to his usual rhetoric! Possibly he is wanting people to start thinking of him as "Mr Nice Guy" as there seems to be talk of dissent in his ranks, and also talk of a forthcoming election? 

[SpanishExpat]

Meanwhile lots of Thais aka sheep are queuing in front of the famous mango sticky rice shop. The shop no one gave a f*** about 2 weeks ago and which will be forgotten in one month time???? Thainess at its best!

Imagine this dinosaur being a credible judge on anything, much less popular culture?

 

It would be best for everyone if he just resigned. That is long overdue. 

but it's not going to happen any time soon so why keep carping on about it? go out and have some sanook instead of moaning all the time about the state of the world ????

Pretty sure most of the numpties behind those doors don't know whats going on, so why should anyone outside the door be any different?

No definitely not; I mean they only staved off colonialism, cleverly avoided what could have been a nasty Japanese occupation, avoided communism, then went on to develop the most awesome country in SEA to live and visit. Yup, totally clueless are the privacy council and co.

But it's only important that he please less than this 2% - most particular, a handful of the most influential.

That's why will see him around for another few years, as the foundational oligarchy maintains itself as it always has.

 

.....unless there's a mass rebellion, in which I can't foresee anytime in the near or distant future. 

Completely agree. the military in the gov't is here to stay; to keep protests and change from happening

Then they wouldn't have a life. All they do is pontificate about something they have no idea about and if you challenge them with rational fact based arguments they just laugh or cry emoji you. Quite sad the number of posts and time they spend on this forum per day. I suppose they are their own masters in the world of farang Thai political debate on aseannow; appearing knowledgeable to the unknowledgeable.

 

Quite pathetic really but each to his own I guess.

Think she reminds him of a semi defrocked monk and just wants to bless her ????

She will give him the three fingered salute

The biggest mistake he makes on a daily basis, is not resigning, and saving the nation further grief, backwards movement and economic destruction. 

Agree totally!!

I can assure you I am doing my level best to keep my head buried as deep in the sand as I can. I do come up for air occasionally, however.

This gesture has become so passe', even less fashionable. 

Lost it's practical punch.
