Prawit falls asleep on the job - much online merriment as acting PM dozes

[webfact]

Picture: Thai Enquirer

 

Comment was rife online after acting PM Prawit Wongsuwan fell asleep during a meeting to discuss water management issues in Krabi in southern Thailand.

 

Thai netizens had a field day commenting about Prawit "having been a good boy who'd had his milk" but also at 77 needing that siesta much valued by the aged. 

 

Thai Enquirer were kind saying in their article, that can be read here, that he has not dozed off so much recently.

Time for the Thai prople to get a proper say on who they want to run the country, and UDD isn't it either ..................... vote for for people that you want in office 

 

 

oh yeah not possible without huge reform and ousting the ruling elite who for some strange reason always end up running things no matter what ............democracy Thai style ----------- yes go vote but the same people will be running things - the people you didn't vote for ..................what a joke

It should be in the constitution that maximum 8 years Pm and also not older than 70..... You see old people who has to manage the country can't sleep during a meeting. another  example that they are not suitable for the job

In his defense, Krabi is not in Bangkok, so therefore not interested  .........................LOL

But it takes that long to build the influence and the money to buy the position!

[rwill]

If all politicians fell asleep on the job we would be better off.

Prawit falls asleep on the job -

The USA would be a much better place today if this age amendment were voted into the constitution.  (And not just for Presidents, either.  All too many members of Congress are clearly unfit for purpose.)

He could sleep forever really....and would not be noticed!

[worgeordie]

He's not asleep .... just resting his eyes , been working very hard,

winding his watch collection , which is not his .

regards Worgeordie

[sammieuk1]

Rollie Rolex dreaming of how to nail Prayut's impending comeback ????

[Sydebolle]

He was meditating about what watch he would love to borrow from one of his many watch collecting friends ........ 

[bendejo]

Didn't he know what time it was?

 

These watch jokes will follow him to his grave, possibly into history.

Why are the people complaining? Most Thais I know can fall a sleep at anytime or any moment so he must be a real Thai.....

[Cake Monster]

And this Man is entrusted to run a Country in the absence of a Prime Minister.

He obviously needs a Vocational change or retirement.

[newnative]

Prawit, Prawit . . .  He still alive?

Change Thai to Brazilian in your text and it would still be true.

I think you must have joined the aged because your post does not make sense!  But there again you probably have very little responsibility other than for your self......oh sorry that it probably very hard work.  Written and submitted by someone who is 77 years of age and still running a Resort very successfully!

Bit sensitive you must be from government or was a half ass CEO that blood sucked your workers and claim it was done by you????

Your remark " no responsibility  " is the general view people like you who feel their S don't Stink. 

Here in Thailand why would anyone want to retired and run a resort just shows your level of thinking although you feel necessary to brag your not of that age yet just show when you open your mouth you validate my point!

I did read a recent thread in ASEANNOW about "foreigners should not involve in the politics of this beautiful country" and attacking (with words) a German who was complaining of this sleeping beauty .....

And here I read noting else as foreigners complaining about politics in this beautiful country ....

Must be a parralell ASEANNOW version ...
Must be

[RafPinto]

And suddenly he woke up, hearing the words "flee Lolex";

[rbkk]

"Asleep at the wheel" takes on a whole new meaning.
