Maybe a Thaksin style coup where he was deposed as the PM while in the US could be undertaken to the good General...

 

However, it's not a reality with this government in power unless Prawit steps in....what a way to ruin a watch...ful relationship....lol

[blazes]

Perhaps it's time for Thailand to invite Vietnam to invade it (LoS), so that Prayut could then do a Zelinsky and beg for new weapons for free and hoover up part of the $39 billion that is presently (this week) being shipped over to Ukraine to support the Ukrainean bureaucracy....

 

And where does Biden actually get all those billions from, money which would be much better spent on American infrastructure problems, such as dealing with all the illegal immigration at the southern border....?

Prayut and the interpreter have their work cut out.

Just another Junket for him and his Entourage at the expense of the Thai Taxpayer while complaining about the quality of First Class Food on Thai Airways.

All those illegal aliens going across the US border. 
And let’s not forget all the western expats living in Thailand illegally.

Sure. A perfect opportunity for the convenient coup. That'll keep us sidetracked for a while. 

Though, all this requires special permission to be carried out. 

 

Some might suggest a manipulated soft and quiet coup during the supposed forthcoming election might be more their style. 

 

Regardless of how it's attained, we should be expecting great [yet the same] changes before the last quarter of the year. October is just around the corner.

It’s all debt and very scary. Also I would like to know who will pay to rebuild Ukraine after the war is over.  The southern border is a huge problem and that senile idiot just ignores it is happening.

Let’s hope some good will come of this.
