CARETAKER PRIME MINISTER Prayut Chan-o-cha today (Mar.24) ironically cautioned one might probably “slide off course” during an ongoing campaign toward the May 14 general election.

 

Without naming names or elaborating, Prayut was apparently referring to the largely anticipated landslide victory of the Pheu Thai in the nationwide election, warning to the extent that the largest opposition party might probably end up sliding off the path instead of achieving their proclaimed goal.

 

The caretaker premier avoided using the word “landslide” and chose to only say “slide” in English in an ironic response to the speculated Pheu Thai landslide victory.

The powers to be will find a way or at least will try to disable the PT party for some silly reason. Hope I am wrong.

Wow! I did'nt think his vocabulary was that broad!

Its time for my constitutional after seeing that face ????

This is the same desperado who said he would be caretaker PM for only two years, then hold elections. What a phony. And this man who would say or do anything is asking the nation for additional years? For what? What have you done in your lousy 8 years besides move your country backwards? 

 

No thanks. See ya. Be gone.

He still think that he has military power and political relevance to make such empty threat. He has neither and facing an embarrassing election outcome. He has done harm to the country image and stunted the economy for a decade. Time for him to go quietly. History will not have kind words for him

He finally revealed what "PM" really means: Pun Master

PT actually scares the Hell out of me. If they win they will have access to all the names of people who registered to grow and sell weed. With their intent of waging war on the new freedom of weed I feel they will make use of these lists to hunt down anyone who actually signed up to try to be in line with the law. Taksin had people suspected of drug dealing shot without any due process and his then Gestapo police were more than happy to put their guns to use. What makes anyone think things will be any better. I really don't like junta's nor political coups, nor the current PM. But, honestly who did this buffoon have shot?

I hope they do and introduce strict controls so cannabis actually only is to be used for medicinal purpose as it was initially not a free for all that every man and his sell on the open market.

Thailand is already infamous for a few things let’s not add making cannabis freely available.

Look at the Twitter accounts for PT and Ing Shin. They are sophisticated, on target and effective. Don't see the others matching them on at least that social media platform.

My sister in law ran for Village Head.  She lost (not by much).  The person who won, according to my wife, was handing out free food, beer, and gratuities - openly. 

Welcome to Thai "democracy."  It is what it is.

If only he had even a glimpse into how stunningly irrelevant he really is.
