Thai PM says he is a son of the north-east as he seeks its people’s support

[Pedrogaz]

This a big joke right?

A lot of nonsense about "NE".

Of course it is about Isan (Isaan, ... countless transcripts).

And like it or not it is often referred as the North East.

Not a geography lesson.

Isan is the Korat plateau. Culturally closer to Laos than to the Siamese masters/conquerors.

Of course Korat is Isan, what else.

 

An PM P is about the most hated person up here.

 

Don't omit the greater Khmer influence and contributions.

Let's do the math. 30,000,000 x 3,000 per vote. 90 billion baht. And the people are made to forget 8 years of miserly and bungling.

Son of the Northeast ... Prayut Son-o-kwai.

North East..   his sense of direction and geography is about as low as his other skills

Northern, Northeastern (Issan), Cental, Western, Eastern, and Southern are the six regions of Thailand. Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), the gateway to Issan, is considered to be in the NE region.

My wife grew up in Loei.  She's been told by a Lao lady that she speaks with a Luang Prabang accent, as does her friend from Petchabun. Apparently there are a couple different Lao accents in Loei.  Maybe ages ago people got drunk up in Luang Prabang, fell into the Mekong and washed up on the bank in Loei where the river turns east.

The North East is still ovwhelmingly pro Red shirt. They would also win a majority in any straight election.

His links with the Northeast are at best tenuous ...he is a son of Bangkok and the mi.itary and a progeny of the Queen's guard

This is just a thinly exiled attempt to try and make inroads into that demographic. It could most likely backfire.

Oh puh...lee...z!  He's so far removed from citizens of Issan it's comical.  He's Military from military family.  He's now a billionaire as a despot General who illegally confiscated reigns of power, kept it for 9 years and begging pleading for more.  Pathetic despot.  Doesn't give a rat's gaze about the minions and notably Issan's people.
