Chavalit is 'loyal to Prem'

Former prime minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh has reaffirmed his unwavering devotion to chief royal adviser Prem Tinsulanonda, despite astern admonition about joining the opposition Pheu Thai Party as its adviser.

"I do not mind Prem's harsh words because the harsher his warning, the more he cares about me," he said.

The main reason for making a comeback to the political stage was to foster reconciliation, he said.

In an interview with Nation Multimedia Group, he talked about a wide range of issues but mostly tried to dispel doubts about his loyalty to Prem.

The speculation on an estrangement surfaced last week after Chavalit claimed he was denied access to Prem when he wanted to pay his respects before entering the monkhood last year.

Prem has said he was unaware of Chavalit's ordination, but admitted that he conveyed a friendly warning via an aide to Chavalit. The message was that Chavalit should exercise prudence before deciding to become a Pheu Thai member to avoid the risk of being seen as a traitor.

"Oh, he is a senior figure, so we have to heed his advice," Chavalit said in his response to Prem's remarks.

He said he did not want to involve Prem in a verbal spat since Prem might have been misinformed about his decision to team up with the main opposition party.

His failure to meet Prem before his ordination might have arisen from a misunderstanding in coordinating their schedule, he said.

He sent a letter requesting permission for a meeting via Prem's aide Admiral Pajun Tampratheep, but Prem had an engagement.

'TIES ARE CORDIAL'

He said their ties remained cordial since Prem called him to wish him a happy birthday in May.

Regardless of Prem's concern, he would proceed to resume his political activities because he saw this as the only way to reduce the conflicts.

He adopted the Pheu Thai's banner to have a springboard to influence the course of politics, not to take sides.

Before joining Pheu Thai, he tried but failed to act as a middleman to bridge the political divide. This prompted him to switch tactics by choosing one of the two rival camps, he said.

His plans were meant to boost Pheu Thai's popularity to the point that it could defeat the rival camp through the ballot box, not to provoke the rival camps into fighting one another with violence.

His vision is to form an interim government, comprising all stakeholders, with the sole mission of subduing the tension.

At this juncture, the reconciliation government is the priority, not seeking a royal pardon for fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra, he said.

Chavalit is loyal to himself and does absolutley nothing that isnt to his adavntage. He is famous for his unbridalled ambition besides which even that of Thaksin pales. His ability to realise the ambition has been a tad problematic however and now he is almost unintelligable and that the media would even waste one second going to him is an indictment on their uselessness.

well that's not strictly true; he may or may not be ruthlessly amibitious but media love going to him because his alledged senility tends to result in hilariously funny and stupid things coming out of his mouth.

In this regard, alongside the famous X and smily face sign/'I'm leaving politics'/'I didn't know anything about selling AIS it was my kids' of Thaksin and Chalerm's various revelations over the last few years almost all either simply wrong or not revalations at all, he really is in good company - because when you've got one guy who lies through their teeth, then 3 of them together is always better - that's the formula for a great sitcom.

He's senile.

He's a con man.

He's a guy who got his kid off murder.......

But together.....they can't do anything right!

The wacky adventures of THREE TOTAL KNOBS.

In episode one, an unexpected surprise as a past friend who used to be a chef but got fired from his main job running a country for working illegally hosting the show and using it as a party political gets a nose job and then hijinx erupt as the 4 friends fight over who will sleep with a young singer from RS next.

in episode two, the con man decides to set up a mobile phone company, so luckily the senile one and the murderer's dad set up a monopoly on both mobile, pager and sattellite for him - what is life without friends?

In the season finale, the senile one accidentally sends the country into a tailspin by floating the currency without a plan. Will his friends profit thanks to some inside advice?

Seriously, these 4 wack jobs are the people you would even want to come to your house, let alone have any part in running anything other than a criminal enterprise?

Come on!

(that can be the catch phrase of the con man....COME ON! - [cue audience laughter] or he can say Pee nong krub and 500 baht baht baht baht baht)

(the senile one can say about everyone 'He's my friend')

it will be hilarious!
