sprq Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 How many of those foreigners who are complaining actually understand what is being said.It's Thailand not England, America ,Australia and so on. If they understood all the lies and patronising attitudes, they'd probably like it even less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Annoying as {3!@%%&!) when you sit down to watch a movie and 2 minutes into it that program over rides it and they don't pause the movie ! The PMs program ends and the movie comes back on and you've missed the first 50-60 minutes of it. If it's going to be on every single day at the same time, it should be shown on the channel listings and other programs scheduled around it, not over-ridden by it.

I was watching a real great historical science program which still had 15 minutes to run when it was cut off. Most of the history programs that started at 6 p.m. lost the first 15 minutes, I just gave up watching one series. My platinum package is due for renewal I don't watch that much anyway but I did enjoy the history and documentaries but I shall forgo them all until things get back to normal.

bobmac10 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's so unbelievably cheesy that I have trouble believing he's saying the things he says. It's like his speeches are written by a 13 year old Thai schoolgirl with help from her school teaching mum and dad. At least Hitler had a theme going (avenge the injustice of the allies) whereas old dreamy eyes just waffles on about his utopian dream. It could only happen in Thailand.

Reigntax Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Keep the show to an hour but move the time - to say 3.00 am ? Everyone happy then ? And one actor should grow a mustache......just watched this guy for ten minutes and one sentence was: " I hope the Thai people will think for me." If that continues more and more people will need Haloperidol. Well the director general should make Haloperidol freely available to all people. Whatever the F%=k it is! But it will make listening to his show more interesting, then again so would LSD! Edited May 31, 2015 by Reigntax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Hitler was considered as one of the best speaker ever. Prayut is a general who had to take over before civil war broke out. You can't compare them. But 13 year old might be on purpose it would fit the general audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... you're saying you want Thailand to be more like North Korea? Anyway, I think rather than shortening the program or moving to another time slot, the good general should just try to spice up the program a bit. People have short attention spans these days, nobody wants to listen to someone talk about policy for an hour at a time. He needs to give it more of a variety show feel; break up the news stuff with musical segments in which he sings karaoke, comedy segments featuring popular actors and former politicians, interviews with celebrities, and maybe some sports as well.

In my opinion, there is way too much propaganda from the Leader. On the TV, on the Newspapers and so on. Everyday he have a new idea to improve the happiness of Thai People. How do he found that much time? I would guess, a person in such a position would be very busy day by day. But obviously not him.

Thaksin has a cunning plan, pay all the TV stations to run the movies and have them disrupted by the general. Then everyone will be thoroughly fed up with him. Howzat for a conspiracy theory?

MW72 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) "Sukhum Nuansakul, a scholar, shared his personal experience of being interrupted by the programme when watching a ferocious boxing match. After about 40 minutes, normal programming resumed but he found the bout had already ended.It was upsetting and he believed many had similar experiences. "The government should give people the choice and let them watch what they want," he said." For a scholar this guy isn't too bright. Since when did military juntas allow people a choice? It's do as we say or else. Edited May 31, 2015 by MW72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaiChai Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Friday night is... Prayut night! Seriously it should be on once a month. Every week is too much, even for Prayut to perform since the previous week. But I can see the propaganda angle, plus the opportunity to remind the populous who is in charge. Then educating the populous on the latest wrong doings, and what is the correct way. And then reminding everyone how happy they should be. Who said Thais are like kids; maybe we need Father Prayut to remind us how to be grown up and do the right things? Then everyone needs to be reminded not to be corrupt and ask for fees to smooth the way... Plus all those non correct ways that drive us foreigners mad!
