Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered fortune teller Warin Buawiratlert to stop predicting his future after his prophecy stirred up controversy.

Warin Buawiratlert made a prediction of Gen Prayut’s term in office, prophesying that the junta leader would stay in power for three years. The popular fortune teller, who made his prediction in Chiang Mai on Sunday, said the military-led government would remain in power until subversive plots ended and its goals were accomplished.

Gen Prayut dismissed Warin’s predictions and reiterated his goal to follow the timeline to restore general elections and democracy in Thailand. Gen Prayut stated that he has no intention of holding onto power, and that he’s “sent a signal” to Warin that he should not make any more predictions.

National Council for Peace and Order spokesman Col Winthai Suwaree said that the government is still keeping to its schedule, which includes elections in 2016. He stated that the government is committed to the roadmap and elections will happen once the new constitution is in place.

Warin Buawiratlert has told the fortunes of both active and retired generals and politicians. He’s often called the “CNS fortune teller” as he was consulted by former army chief Gen Sonthi Boonyaratkalin before unseating former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra in the 2006 coup.

The fortune teller would not need to be clairvoyant to foresee the touchy general's response. Article 44 should have given him some indication. Most leaders would just laugh it off.

Well done PM. Now get rid of the alcohol sales restrictions.

I foresee your future in Cambodia where alcohol carries no taxes (its cheap) or sales restrictions.

If the Fortune Teller's prediction had have been something pleasing to the General's lug holes, he would not have been castigated.

I predict that the fortune teller will join the fate of the Daily Mail by being banned.

The media well warned not to criticise, only favourable opinion polls allowed and now only positive predictions permitted.

My late mother used to joke that when she read her horoscope she only believed it if it was good. The PM's taking no chances by trying to make sure that nothing negative gets out.

Exactly. 'He what? Yes yes, I see. Next?' would have been a smarter thing to do in my opinion.

This fortune teller has a longer political history than yours truly. So whether you believe in the "fortunes" or just political manoeuvrings, this is quite interesting. It might be a case of get the popcorn and watch this space.

We had one of these tellers show up at our condo once, the van loads of armed security that came with made those accompanying suthep on his marches look like boy scouts.

Stirring up The General, who has the power of Article 44. Tsk, tsk.

This fortune teller has some massive crystal balls.

Thaksin wasn't unseated in a coup.
