Popular Post snoop1130 Posted November 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2023 Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin says he has never talked about inviting Chinese police to come to Thailand to join their Thai counterparts on patrols in tourist destinations, to boost the confidence of Chinese tourists about their safety in the kingdom. In an interview from San Francisco in the United States, where he was attending the APEC conference on Monday evening local time, the prime minister said it was a miscommunication on the part of the governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Thapanee Kiatphaibool. The TAT governor told the Thai media that the prime minister floated the idea of the presence of Chinese police in tourist provinces popular with Chinese visitors.

Popular Post Dcheech Posted November 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2023 Woohoo! They walked that back fast. A 'misunderstanding', which in Thai political speech, serves the same purpose as “brakes failed” does for a auto smash up. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordgrinz Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 He should be asking for the TAT Governors resignation for floating this information to the media without his approval, thus showing that he is in charge. Anything else just makes him look like a weak leader who is flip-flopping or coming up with excuses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlyai Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Chinese police are great. As part of a Beijing HASH run, us motley mob ended up outside the Forbidden City and had a circle formed with the usual beer drinking and some dressed in Tutu's. Then Tiamin Square had a problem with groups. The Chinese police politely said we would be arrested if we "ran" into the Forbidden City. All very nice. They let us carry on a bit, then we left. All very nice and friendly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 His image is not helped by video clips such as one shown on Channel 3 news last evening. He was shown being interviewed inside the plane flying him to the USA. Looking relaxed and not wearing a jacket a sign on a bulkhed directly over his right shoulder read: 'LAVATORY FOR ECONOMY PASSENGERS TO THE REAR' 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jing Joe Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) As bobthegimp said:- "Will Thailand be the next Hong Kong? " But Bob, wait there's more:- The Solomon Islands P.M. has welcomed Chinese Police there, and supplying their arms to the local police, to quell any political backlash about all the Chinese infrastructure happening, including Naval. Thaland (for the present) seems to have nipped in the bud what the beautiful ordinary Solomon Islanders couldnt. How about the silent 'invasion" of other Pacific countries. How about the dubious huge Naval vessell deal between China and Thailand? How about the chinese Navy literally pushing Phillipine fishing boats away?

It is quite common: an idea comes up, not a moment of reconsidering the pro s and cons made public wait untill somebody thinks it over and then it goes: miscommunication.
