I told President Putin that order had been restored in Thailand," Prayut said."I told all the leaders that Thailand was relatively peaceful now," he added.The prime minister said he told all the foreign leaders that the atmosphere for tourism in the Kingdom had improved and invited people from their countries to visit.Prayut said the Japanese and Chinese leaders told him that they planned to lift travel advisories for their citizens planning to visit Thailand.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/We-are-happier-now-PM-tells-world-leaders-at-Apec-30247556.html-- The Nation 2014-11-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siampolee Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Indeed the Ministry of Inane Comments seems to be warking working well. Yes matters have improved in many ways but these inane comments are totally puerile. Well here 's the lyrics so we can all sing the song,you can if you search find the series''Only When I Laugh'' on some torrent sites too.

The stuttering parrot Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Never had a sit down with anyone outside Asia . I'm sure he wandered around the dinner and Obama and Putin both asked him the same question are you happy. Of course I am I'm running the show and can say and do anything I want for as long as I want! Tourism is going through the roof since the coup and the koh Tao murders not to mention it's all systems go with the scams so tell your people to come and visit just take note that no more than groups of five no eating sandwiches in public oh and in some places you will be going to bed early and no three fingered salutes. But hey the economy is firing on all cylinders because countries are knocking out door down because where so stable with coups and the occasional shutdown of bangkok . We are the hub of happiness ! It's just those pesky elections looming that I said I would deliver on that might cause a problem. You know that democratic thingy you guys go on about, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowboat Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It sounds like just polite dinner table conversation. What are you going to ask this guy ? You are not going to ask anything important of a leader of a Junta. Obama and Putin both know the real story about Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Is that a question world leaders would ask of one and other? Or were they all sitting around an after dinner campfire singing "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands" and it was misunderstood? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mikemac Posted November 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2014 Lots of sarcastic comments so far which have no affect whatsoever on the "Happiness" factor. I for one am extremely happy since the new Government and a real Prime Minister took over from the previous pack of lying thieves government. But then again I would have been happy even if the Three Stooges took over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post toybits Posted November 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2014 The Kind Ex-General probably doesn't know he is being ribbed by those leaders who asked if he is happy. I believe that is a reference to his "Bring Back Happiness to the Thai People" campaign. But the question was taken literally. Furthermore, I also wonder who the "WE" are. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
