webfact Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Daily News Thai Caption: Wading through the floods Thai media Daily News reported from Warinchamrap district of Ubon Ratchathani in the NE of Thailand when PM Prayuth Chan-ocha and his large entourage visited flood victims. The PM - recently reinstalled in the PM hotseat following a court decision - was perched high up in a Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation vehicle. Picture: Daily News Some people were not happy to see the PM. Their three finger salutes - a sign of protest from The Hunger Games - were accompanied by negative statements about causing locals trouble. The police told them to stop. Prayuth waded through the flood waters dispensing platitudes. Picture: Daily News He said that some things were meant to be and advised locals to put their valuables higher next time. He said that his government cared about the strife of the people and were spending billions on flood prevention measures. This was his sixth visit to Ubon. One old lady said that she hoped Prayuth would be PM until he dies. Picture: Daily News "That long", quipped the upbeat PM. Prayuth - revelling in the attention again after the court decision on his tenure - even did a spot of hair cutting that people said was very auspicious. Then he bought some pork balls on a stick for the police making further jokes about the election law. Picture: Daily News ASEAN NOW notes that the whole tone of the press coverage was sycophantic. It appeared that the press corps were glad that their "Uncle Too" was back in charge affording him coverage previously only reserved for figures of an even greater social standing. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-10-05 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Aussieroaming Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 What is in the cooking pot? Maybe a few brown trout scooped out of the water. Chew on that Prayut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secretly praying that a man-hole cover was displaced and he'd disappear from sight immediately? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 20 hours ago, webfact said: Prayuth waded through the flood waters dispensing platitudes. Were the platitudes particularly delicious ones? The problem with all the flood mitigation (I won't say "prevention") schemes is that thare's no really integrated plan. The piecemeal implementation of "fix the tall tree areas first" (tall-tree = richest) just moves the flooding to the next vulnerable area. Here in northern BKK it's the worst it's been since 2011 but "this year isn't as bad as last time". Hmmm, I wonder what's caused that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
