Opinion – Prawit’s 1-month in the hot seat of Prime Minister shows he is ready for the job and may even want that job

By Thanaphum Charoensombatpanich

In just about 24-hours from now deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon is set to mark 1-month in the office as the caretaker Prime Minister and indications are that he enjoys the limelight and has in-fact been more acceptable to the people than his boss and predecessor.

 

Come Saturday the 2014 coup leader – General Prayut Chan-o-cha would mark 1-month in ‘suspension’ and off duty after the Constitutional Court on August 24th ordered him suspended from active duty as Prime Minister although General Prayut continued to remain the defense minister.

 

The orders from the Constitutional Court came after the opposition parties filed a petition to seek the court’s opinion on whether Gen. Prayut had breached the 8-year term limit on being the Prime Minister or not.

One step forward, 2 steps back has always been the political narrative in the 20 plus years I've lived here.

Let's hope he can stay awake long enough to ruin the country after his comment on the baht I doubt it

Foresee a great usurping change coming soon. 

It won't be pretty and it will disguised accompanied by the usual Thai flair.

I feel sorry that there are no better alternatives.  It will take many years to recover from the damage they doing as already mentioned a fragile economy on this forum

The insane envy I feel: I have trouble sleeping and others are not woken up even by a Rolex alarm. ????

to be more acceptable than his predecessor is not a difficult task, anybody would be more acceptable than Prayut

 

[Skeptic7]

Imbecile. 

[Mavideol]

he is ready for the job and may even want that job

 

I was preparing for a great week end until I saw this post, it all went down the pipes as now I have to worry about when he wakes up

[kidneyw]

It has done wonders for his hair though.

[zzaa09]

Wonder what the current atmosphere of the foreign community regarding the state of interim PM affairs. 

At least Lung Tu had an ever so slight inking of sophistication and worldliness to the title. 

 

As the weeks go by, becoming increasing apparent that this circus is beyond embarrassing.

There ARE many better alternatives than this lot, but they are not allowed to be viable candidates by the current mob in power.

Prayuth and Prawit have badly damaged the nation, it's future prospects and the happiness of the people. My guess is he has less than a 5% approval rating. A regressive man like him is the last thing this country needs, or wants. He is not qualified, nor does he have anything remotely resembling leadership ability, concern for the masses, nobility, grace, vision, charm, negotiating skills, honesty, integrity or decency. 

 

He is a relic of the past. Out with the dinosaurs, and in with the youth. They are the only hope Thailand has, for a decent future.

This guy couldn't run a bath, never mind a Country..

There you are.

[monkfish]

Yea he's definitely being tested for the job normally the Court would never have suspended Prayut.
