Prayut to attend disaster management in Japan Friday



BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha will be visiting Japan on Friday and Saturday to attend the 3rd World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction.

General Prayut said yesterday that he would relay Thailand’s experiences in dealing with the 2004 tsunami and flood disasters and also would re-assert Thailand’s commitment to supporting disaster risk reduction.

Emphasis will be made on preemptive collaboration between the state and civic sectors on disaster prevention, he said.

The World Conference in Sendai, Japan is expected to be attended by around 8,000 participants, with thousands more participating in events linked to the conference.

I'm waiting to see the posts linking Prayut and disaster management............who is going to be first?

Nice but the Thai shopping malls even can't keep the emergency doors clear from vendors, passenger boats don't have lifevests and are still being overloaded. Motorbikes still drive against traffic.

Is the Thai tsunami alarmsystem finally working now?

[NeverSure]

"...will be visiting Japan on Friday and Saturday..."

So, is that two days relief from happiness speeches given with a clenched fist?

[ExPratt]

Would he not just have to stroll into the surf and turn the tide back ?

Even when the doors are clear of vendors, they are often chained shut.

You were.

[berybert]

Might be better off attending an anger management course.

As for strolling into the surf, no need to turn the tide back. Just keep on walking.

"to attend the 3rd World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction."

Is it official? Or, should they rethink the wording in the article?

[mogo51]

I thought they had already had a Disaster Mangement conference a year or so ago, call a coup!

[upena]

So much for the no study courses abroad declaration - or is it just for the minions?

[kleelof]

'Disaster Management'

Seems he could use some as a politician.

[Dogmatix]

Disaster management. Is that a euphemism for the current state of the Thai economy under his stewardship?

And turn the water into wine

Thanks Costas I will rather ask you how many times the junta leader have been travelling outside of Thailand since he has become junta leader (about once a month)? If I remember correctly you were one of those you condemmed YS when she was on trips. Don't you think there are more serious matters the junta leader must attend inside the country than to visit Japan on such a low key event ? As he can't even manage the army correctly (war draging on in the south, aircraft falling because of the lack of maintenance, aircraft carrier without aircraft, BT 2000 scandal, a blip that keeps on falling etc etc) I won't even comment on the disaster that is happening infront of our eyes.

[Lupatria]

May Buddha prevent he's giving a lecture over there

[FangFerang]

Two things make me laugh about the story: the first is Fukishima, and the Japanese did a bang-up job on managing that disaster; and the second is the floods in Thailand in 2011.

Makes the whole conference sound like The Meeting of Mediocre Minds.

[janpoo]

There's only one disaster, HIMSELF.

As a Greek I assume you are a master of disasters of all kinds. It would be cheaper if he calls you for advice. And don't forget to tell him no calls at TV prime time on Fridays because you are busy.

[trainman34014]

Off on another junket whilst the country is going down the tube....can there be any bigger disaster than that ?

[DM07]

I hope, he leaves on Friday!

I could have my beer without his great address to the nation...

lol thats the fella... General Prayut character would fit so well.

[Briggsy]

Friday night = counter-coup while Prayut is out of the country. Army is factionalised.

[toybits]

Kind of a bit too late for that already IMHO.

[EnglishJohn]

And here we have another demonstration of the intellectual level of the anti-junta brigade. Not an intelligent comment in the lot.

I remember helping a volunteer group at Ayutthaya when the flooding hit. The organiser called to get transport for a whole load of donated food + water he had received. They told him to call back next week because they were all busy arranging the football match in Cambodia.

What a disgrace - both Pheu-Thai and those here criticising Prayuth for taking it seriously.
