Plutojames88 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I fear some dangers might possibly exist in this visit . The security hopefully is not relaxed . The simple facts are outside forces both Political ( Thaksin) ...and International ....do not like the Thai PM. Given Thailand's recent terrorist attack I think the PM might need to be careful Manila I am sure will welcome him appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterjackson Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 With the on-going dispute in the South China Sea between the Philippines and Communist China and the cozy relationship Prayut is fostering with the Chinese, he may have to one day decide where his loyalties lie. With an ASEAN member state or the Communists from Red China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
