Two great leaders!

[Wilsonandson]

Both were probably discussing oil. Great leaders are usually connected to oil in some way.

Partly, though I expect our good General was asking the Sultan how he enjoyed his days at Sandhurst, whether he has a Ferrari 250 GTO and does he care about the fuel consumption and how many girls his brother has in his harem..

Did they speak about human rights?

[MobileContent]

I thought they just met already in Milan and surely stumbled just recently at the APEC meeting and not to forget the ASEAN Meeting.

This looks like a strong relationship

[bangrak]

Seems as about nobody here is still interested in the PM's many journeys abroad... Maybe it has to do with the pictures we get, which are like community paper quality towards the professional PR managed ones we got from the previous (puppet-, clone-) pseudo-PM from her many Shins' business oriented foreign visits... Part of the cataclismic communication of this whole team, I guess...

This next is a joke, but a very serious one: Since June, when were ALL TV's on in whole Thailand? Yes, on Friday evening! In the last months, when are most TV's OFF in whole Thailand? Yes, on Friday evening! More of the same, I'm afraid...

Is it that the 'new team in place' has no interest, thinks it is 'above it', plays it as in a military command, is so proud of itself, looks down on the people, is out of this world, is totally ignorant, or plain arrogant, and stupid, I don't know, but IMO, and I say it, again, loud and clear: when the NCPO and its Government and the whole organisation, don't, now, at once, hire a top team of professional communicators (yes, probably Farangs too!), with FULL power, to put a sock in every General's or Minister's or 'high official''s mouth, filtering out, reviewing, profiling, directing ALL communication,then, even whith the best intentions in the World, the whole thing is going to run into a concrete wall at the speed of sound! What if they go on alienating the majority of the population which was supporting them, what alternative is there? I can't imagine the consequences! The more so with the Damocles' sword hanging above the nation's head...

Learn from you enemy: Thaksin and the Shins have been investing huge money in communication, propaganda, PR, lobbying, look where they, still, stand today, nationaly and internationaly, while they are corrupt, crooks, villains, criminals, who have been robbing the country blind for many years!

Guess I'm wasting my time though...

Was this the only dignitary willing to be photographed with him?

[Jack Mountain]

Goes the PM on the Sarkozy tour and is wearing high shoes? or is he just standing on a box?

Greece is the word

[Chris Lawrence]

Maybe organised a trip for the sultans brother along Sukimvit Road or Pattaya? The brother loves wild fetishes; like the boys in Malaysia travel to southern Thailand to get their rocks off, due to being good to their religon.

[HeijoshinCool]

Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien (whew-run that through the freakin' spell-checker!) appears to have a substantially stronger handshake than the Man-of-Twelve-Values.

[Assurancetourix]

Did they speak about human rights?

And about slave burmese people working on fish-boats ?

Now we know where the millions of 'quality tourists' are going to be flocking in from to join all those others Yingluck told us were coming from Tajikistan !!

[rickirs]

The Sultan of Brunei is both the Head of Government and Head of State. Gen. Prayuth is only the Head of Government. So Gen. Prayuth gets a 2-for-one.

But Gen. Prayuth and the Sultan have one thing in common: both have absolute power over the lives of their citizens. Certainly a lot better match-up between the two countries than with all those countries that have democratic-elected leaders.

Two unelected leaders sitting down for a chat. The Thai Priminister is now in a fitting place.
