PM Prayut: Thai orchids to be world's number one

[iReason]

"...the prime minister has said he would push Thai orchids to become the number one flower in the world."

Uncle Too is getting really desperate for acceptance.

Meltdown forthcoming.

Orchid flowers are sort of ok, kind of nice, but not really great, in my opinion. Definitely will never be number 1.

Anyway, I thought I read the salty water was coming in and ruining all the flowers somewhere.

Maybe they'll have to fix that.

Happiness, bike lanes and orchids.

Roll on the AEC as LoS is ready to play a leading role.

Many years ago an old acquaintance of mine, an ex-UK Customs Officer, told me a story about a Thai lady he knew who tried to get into the orchid export business and he warned her there was a ' flower mafia ' that controlled it. The lady went ahead and opened a business then the phone calls started and she quit while still in one piece. Will dear leader address that issue or is being No. 1 by any means enough ?

Whatever your opinions there is no denying that orchids are big business, apparently a lot bigger than some posters seem to realise.

Is this a case of " because I haven't heard of it, it can't be there"?

Is anyone going to tell him the people of the world decide who's number one for orchids?

Rubbish dear leader says what will be and your hate speech won't be tolerated. The world loves and adores the guy and will do what ever he commands.

Fair enough....

I use to watch comedy shows to get my fix of humour but now I get it from the daily announcements here on TV from the man. Absolutely priceless.

I would love to see some reality TV following his advisors around and coming up with agendas for the day. I am sure they would knock of Cha Cha Cha, as the no1 comedy spoof. I can picture it now. What drivel can we come up with today. How about saying Thailand "will be the hub of safe driving". Big pat on the back for everyone.
