Thailand PM speaks to Al Jazeera

BANGKOK:-- Thailand's Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, says he's committed to returning democracy to his country, despite several delays in holding a new election.

It's been a little over a year since the coup and human rights groups are accusing the government of stifling dissent and political parties.

Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler spoke to Prayut in Bangkok.

Pre planned questions vetted before interview, no off the cuff questions allowed.

The aura of arrogance and disdain permeates this 'interview'.

His English is much better than Yingluck's.

You mean his interpreter's english as Prayut spoke only Thai?

When you can get more information from an article written by a pro-coup reporter for The Nation, you can see how useless the Al Jazeera "visit" was. It was not an interview but rather a two-minute infomercial.

You don't want to go there, believe me!

If it is in fact true, looking up and to the right is an indication a person is lying, the General really needs to concentrate on his interview skills to make it not so obvious.

His right or your right as an observer? If you meant up and to his right then, you are on the correct track. Even though it is not a cut and dried indication it may in fact corroborate other body language and evidence. Eye direction indications are opposite for left-handed people. Another eye indication of dishonesty is excessive blinking, even though in intimate encounters this can mean attraction. This is what Abhisit did to an extreme, earning him the nickname "Blinky" during televised addresses when he dispatched armed troops to shoot civilians and press people in 2010.

When we said no military general was involved in human trafficking, we said that at a time that we did not have the evidence.

It is only become evidence when outsiders find out their dirty secrets.

I love his total lack of eye contact when answering the human trafficking question. He couldn't even look at the guy.

Which is in stark contrast to him saying he's known about this dodgy General for YEARS now.

Since he speaks no English in the interview and since Yingluck was interviewed many times in English you must be a click baiting troll.

Or you just don't do sarcasm ?
