Yes, PM, I'm sure the Chinese and some other tourists flooded Thailand knowing your efforts to solve the human trafficking problem...... Didn't I say to you to think before you speak? Nobody seems to be listening to me....... Edited April 19, 2015 by Costas2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 One could be forgiven to think that General Prayut - O is reading from an old information booklet from pre -junta days, General, we have all heard this all before, for decades this has been going on and the same old Asian response, for you Sir are not the only leader or country to have this problem ,you don't have to keep telling the international community each week , show the way Thailand , just do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishoak Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Just mouth flapping, oh and tourists obviously love a bit of human trafficking on the itinerary apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegee Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 To be fair, he's not saying tourists are coming for Thailand's human trafficking but because of the junta's efforts to "uphold Thailand’s image." According to him, if it wasn't for the junta those extra 20% probably wouldn't have come, but they did so and precisely to experience Thainess.
