No, the Prime Minister of one country should not use the familiar tone of 'Uncle 'with another government's senior figure, the father of the current PM. It betrays a familiarity and a junior position in the relationship, almost as bad as Rutte calling Trump, 'daddy'!

Then she went on to say if there were anything he wanted, she would “take care of it''  and he was to take no notice about remarks from the head of her army in Region 2 who just wanted to ''seem cool''.

 Hun Sen before Thailand- wrong , wrong, wrong.

 

Of course Trump would never engage in language that informal.

      The only important question here is how will it affect the recriminalization of cannabis use.

    I was just commenting on the "uncle" part not the rest of the phonecall as criticizing  it seems a misunderstanding of Thai culture. Just because it is a familiarity in English it does not have the same connotations in Thai. You can call a waiter 'norng' which is the same you would call a younger brother. It does not mean you are treating him as a family member. I don't think Thai has a word for "Sir" which would be the English equivalent. I hate it when Thai people call me 'Mister' which could be seen as the equivalent of 'Koon".

    I don't like her much and think she is too young for her position but the "uncle" thing is just a beat up. It is just polite on Thai culture to call an older person 'Loong' or 'Na' both meaning uncle. It would have been rude of her to call him something else. 

    I know… but she’ll has to go over this either way.
