Prayut pledges to lead country to high income economy

[clockman]

As long as a feudal patronage system exists. Forget it

[wobalt]

A high-income Thailand would be an environmental disaster!

You guys just don't get it! He was just making another joke. Nobody seems to understand his sense of humour.

The article is hilarious, this guy is a professional comedian and all of you should learn to enjoy his jokes instead of taking him so seriously.

I did some research on GDP composition this year from the perspective that a country's GDP composition made up of agriculture, industry and services. I discovered most countries where the agriculture component to GDP is higher than 5%, that country will have very low GDP per capita. Thailands was 12% in 2012 according to the World Bank. The proposed agriculture plan sounds like a very bad idea.

But I bet CP and the other Thai Chinese agriculturalists love it. And they will get what they want.
