Oh dear.......the good general trying to distance himself and his comrades from the mouth of Suthep.........unfortunately, they are seen by all to be working to a similar goal.......defer any thought of elections in the next couple of years....a sad time for Thailand.........!

Should have arrested him when he left the monkhood. He did incite his group to illegally occupy government buildings and interfere with government functions. Basically, the same illegal conduct for which the airport occupiers were found liable. He's going to be nothing but a trouble maker now that he's on the loose.

The prime minister said he would like to ask Suthep to avoid causing more conflicts in the country with his campaigns.

Well, considering he was a [possibly *the*] major beneficiary of the previous conflicts, this does seem a little ungrateful. Or perhaps he thinks people don't know what games he was playing.

That's a startling thought.

The PM should take Suthep on one side and have a few words with him to the affect that " thank you for your good wishes and concern about the country, but, your political days are over, time for you to go put your feet up. You have had your time, now its time for others to have a go. Enjoy your retirement."

5-5-5. Suthep is in the position of power, Field Marshall Prayut is looking over his shoulder.

Prayuth is a bottle merchant, article 44 is only good for enforcing laws on the side that doesn't agree with you!!

Strange words "would like to ask" after all he is in charge. Mail Suthep or better yet hand deliver a copy of article 44 and underline the part that he is in violation of.

I agree. No good can come from this. I think Prayut is going to regret his decision.

Suthep should be sent to the education reform camp like other folks who oppose the army.

[tigermoth]

Why hasn't he been arrested????????????? The students were for far more innocous deeds.

He made a decision? What, a decision to talk?

I think what's even more startling is that there are people who believe all of this was 'carefully planned'. Careful planning not strong here. It just might be a 'result'!

No he isn't.

There are very very few people with more power than the PM and Suthep is definitely not one of them.

[oneday]

No tolerance for Red shirts, but tons of patience for this divisive person.

"Please, please Suthep play nice."

Good cop, bad cop play here?
