Thai prime minister Prayuth Chan-ocha had a strong message for Thai soldiers yesterday after a meeting at the Interior Ministry, that he also heads.

 

Stay off marijuana.

 

And also:

 

Make sure you turn the lights out.

 

Deputy spokesman at the ministry Col Jittanak Punnothok said that the PM had ordered the Office of the Permanent Secretary of Defence to come up with guidelines to control the use and consumption of cannabis and hemp, reported Thai Rath.

 

He left the door open to medical use however but said that recreational use was a definite no-no.

 

The guidelines should run in tandem with those being prepared by the Ministry of Public Health. 

 

He didn't want any stories in the media about soldiers getting high and doing things like driving or operating machinery on weed. 

 

The PM is also very concerned about the spiralling cost of energy and oil.

 

So everyone in the forces is being told to save electricity and gas to the tune of 20% for the good of the nation.

Which is why he wants to buy energy-efficient submarines....with no motors.

Very fuel efficient!

Well at least this make-belief PM has his priorities in order in asking that the lights get turned off. It seems the lights in his brain switched off a long time ago and rather than fantasizing about his little boys in uniform he should rather put more effort into understanding the massive economic problems that he,  his fellow numb skulls along with the puppet master  have now wreaked upon Thailand and the additional poverty that has brought to very many more of the population.

Micromanagement at its best! Would he like to remind soldiers not to shoot civilians , it would save costly bullets and may save some useless life in the process as well!

Almost daily there is a public statement which highlights how dim the Government in General is.  (General is a deliberate pun.)

The cunning clever general wants the lights out so you cant see to light your spiff ???? 

Thailand has a nanny for PM now, and while you're at it, not smoking marijuana and turning of the light make sure you change your underwear and socks at least one a month...

So let's see:

- no weed

- lights off

- oh yeah, and no sissy boys, like BTS

 

Is there a Thai equivalent to Monty Python?

How many military people have died of weed since it was legalized?

Mothball the tanks, armored vehicles and military aircraft!!

Just when I thought I couldn't read anything stranger.

I do not smoke - I do not do ganga - neither does the wife. However, the amount of seeds she has growing I think she will give Scarface a run for his money when she starts selling them off

Nudge,nudge wink, wink advisory only

Crack on lads

Peace out.

A sub doesn't need a motor if it's not going anywhere.

A fact that most among this esteemed venue seem to miss - completely.

They're under the impression that all is controlled/influenced by surface political puppet schemes and the hopes for change someday.????

 

As if any of this tradition might come to screeching halt next week, five years from now or even a generation.....

5555555555555 - ????????

Is this the same PM who says the submarines are still being purchased from China?

  Yes this guy sure knows how to save Thailand money.

The lights went out 8 years ago..

Do you keep government house illuminated at night

Napoleon ?  if so then

He might breathe down the neck of the Department of Highways boys. I am on the road a lot and I am always appalled, that sectors are lit during daytime (not for testing/repairing) while during the night time other stretches remain dark. With simple photocells controlling relais that particular problem could be solved - instead of more expensive (i.e. more commission) on timers which declock once there was a (more than necessary) power cut.
