Ordinary citizens dont live in upscale military housing with guards and servants. Cut the BS "Loon Tu".

[Eric Loh]

The fallout with Prawit must be worse than reported by media with his no-show at his last cabinet meeting.

Outgoing PM and Coup Leader would be more appropriate. Seems they forgot this part, apart from everything else he's done to usurp democracy and free speach in this country.

Excellent Khun Prayut Chan O Cha ....   he's done a great job serving as Prime Minister for 9 difficult years that were at times unruly, contentious and troubled, however Khun Prayut always kept a cool head and mastered through turbulent waters. 

Thailand was always ticking over economically as many new road, rail, civil, schools, hospitals, and many more projects were completed including the Monorail Yellow line recently. 

We wish him all the best in his retirement years.

I agree with all the above..........it was just a shame that he was such an unlikeable figure  -  now, if he had some of the charm of a khun Abhisit.......

This is sarcasim isn't it? I hope so otherwise I feel you may be deluded. Money for major projects yes. Money for people not so much. Kickbacks for the major projects would have been huge. He's as corrupt as the day is long.

No different to any predecessor - he certainly took less than Thaksin. He got things done - and at the end of the day may have successfully presided over a major move towards democracy in Thailand.

Some people can be arrogant and pull it off in a way, as some exceptional quality about them excuses their swagger, sometimes - even often -  to the point of being something that endears them to people even the more for it. (Think Muhammed Ali...????????)

 

But Prayuth, you pathetic man-child, you never ranked in that category....at all. 

 

In fact, at all times, you were just the very worst kind of everyday arrogant p***k without a single redeeming quality about you that could charm anyone beyond the fawning media hacks you courted and despised simultaneously in such a sickening way for 9 f*****g years.

 

Adios MF. (For now anyway.....until constitutionally & legally you can be retroactively busted for grabbing power, like the little gangster you were & are, on behalf of the other gangsters you served like an errand-boy.)

 

(With John Cleese French accent : 'I fart in your general direction!'......and I mean really, without the humour. )

Got things done alright. Some of those "things he got done" are no longer with us i.e. dissappeared. One did turn up in the Mekong with cement in his belly. There are other cases. Yes I am well aware Thaksin did the extra-judicial drug killings. I hate both of them.

[fondue zoo]

How much does the Privy Council pay, and why is there a council for outdoor toilets?

How can you possibly say this after what has happened. The voting public elected MFP. MFP have the largest amount of seats in the Housre of Reps than any other single party. The people voted and MFP came out on top. The people wanted change and wanted Pita as PM. 250 senators, the EC and the CC all constructs of Prayuts junta usurped the people's voice. Maybe you can explain how this is a major move toward democracy.

The coup has already happened. It's called a soft coup. The change people voted for has been usurped. Democracy has been stifled by the military elites and with them in the same bed PT.

[chickenslegs]

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong - but wasn't he elected as an MP in the last election? Doesn't he now have a duty to his electorate to attend parliament and campaign for all the things he promised them?

Well he's definitely ' filthy ' and obviously ' rich ' after nine years at top of the pecking order.

 

They also make these statements and I think they actually believe the public swallows them.
