Tireless...

 

1. Make us old rich tycoons richer. ✔️

 

2. Keep the 69 million poor serfs poor...but fake 'em out with a pittance and a bunch of false promises. ✔️

 

WOW...This job is EASY❗ Time for a nap ????

Here we go again; at least the ordeal will not last the entire four years - me thinks 8-)

I hope he understands what he got himself into.

 

Other than the usual platitudes - work hard, for the people - he has rarely come across as someone who has articulated his core beliefs re: the many issues facing Thailand and its citizens. 

 

Unless he has a lot more support than has so far been indicated, he may not last long.

 

Let's see how the "10,000 Baht Digital Wallet" legislation progresses.

He had better hurry up things are going fro bad to worse for a lot of Thais. House over the road abandoned, even though they own it, one became a monk others up country- debt when business lost profit. Another neighbour drank mr Duck toilet cleaner last week, just died in hospital- debt again. 10k sticking plaster will not last long.

"Tirelessly" looking to put a new condo or office tower on every unused parcel of land.

That was for the 2023 election. Now it must be hope in next two generations.

He will soon adapt and also become 'breathless' so he can keep his snout in the trough without coming up for air.

How can one doubt Darwinism?

Until the PM decides he wasn't like Prayut and the Charter Court in 2023 ruled that Prayut was NOT PM until 2017?

In Thailand it is not the Rule of Law but the Null of Law.

I have no doubt that he will be tireless in getting as much as he can for himself and his cronies. For the average Thai Joe and Jane: probably not so much.
