It said His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn has appointed Gen Prayut a privy councillor effective as of Thursday.

Gen Prayut left office in August this year.

Old men to keep the old traditions and rules in the country and no way to move forward

Same same, but different. 

[Gandtee]

Of course he would be.

[spidermike007]

Now, he gets his just reward, for his obedience and fealty.

Likely irrelevant and frivilous joke

not sure came to power is the correct phrasing here. i would say seized or took would be much more appropriate.

Does this come with free accommodation? 

Privy is an old English word.......

Privy is about the best place for him  🤔

Idly wondering what they are counselling on about in the privy:

Where is the juiciest dinosaur feed? Most efficient way to screw the populace? Get rid off Move Forward?

The real goal is to rise to head the Privy Council. Little formal publicly acknowledged power, but immense influence.

 

I have long thought that was his long term goal.

 

"Regency" is quite a palatable brandy...

Exactly so. I'm chomping my gums.

when you can only comment on half the story.

As the Italians say "attenzione a non essere detronizzato" ;-)

And I thought he carried out Treason.

This pretty much accentuates how upside-down Thailand really is, and that things will never change here, sad.

Would have been given the nod from the right source, therefore negating any treasonous act 🤫

Shouldn't surprise.

You'll be remembering as to where he comes from and the deeper long held relationships with a particular family. 

 

No harm, actually.
