bigbamboo Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Yes he really looks like someone able to motivate and inspire!! What he really said: Sell rice, or Iceland next! I guess when you're related to an ex PM, the current PM and the next PM you do have some clout. Edited July 15, 2013 by bigbamboo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidlady Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I think the white-mask group and other anti-government people are trying to motivate Yingluck to do her job (not do the job better as he professes to motivate the Ambassadors). same same, yes?

hellodolly Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Same message to all - do as PTP commands or you're out! Really good to see leading edge motivational techniques at work. Works like a charm when you have hired goons to enforce your rule in the back alleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timewilltell Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Thailand with its huge problem with the rice scam mountain entirely the making of its government that demands of its ministers that the issue is solved and the ric sold - an impossible job given the constraints put on the guy by the government. Here we have Suruphong demanding its ministers get on with ensuring more trade etc. for Thailand itself, where Thailand is rotten with structural problems like rampant corruption, a useless and bent police force, a pitiful justice system and a wholly misplaced superiority complex. I don't think the ambassadors have much hope in selling Tailand at he moment any more than people want to buy Thai rice until something changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
