wow...ignorance will show its face and confirm its stupidity in a propaganda laced book.

If he says anything it should be no more than

Hello...thank you for having me.

I was under the impression (and I could be wrong) that he and all members of the Junta were banned from the US and EU? If so, he can't even get a visa to get into the US, so how the hell will he address the assembly?

I believe that being banned from the USA does not preclude you from going to the UN.

he'd better wish they do not know him better.

Prayuth will explain the King's Sufficiency Economy Philosophy.

It's a bit sad that he could not find anything more up-to-date and worthwhile to talk about than this concept conceived in the '70s. I mean to say: it sure is a great concept which is still valid, but in 40 odd years did nobody in Thailand come up with anything they can be equally proud of? Anything???

Perhaps this would help. The original 1933 “national self-sufficiency” lecture by john maynard keynes: Its political economic context and purpose

As I recall, the USA will issue a visa for the purpose of going to the UN only - under a special arrangement. They don't like it much though. Might be wrong but that's my recollection. Personally I'd be delighted to see him refused entry.

Intellectual giant that he is.

Serious question. Does he speak any English at all?

He speaks Thailish.

'Hello...thank you for having me." 3 times?

Intellectual giant that he is.

It's not like he's talking to a room full of bright people; it is the UN after all. If he keeps his shoes on he is ahead of some people.

None of his underlings have the chutzpah to tell him "Maybe the world knowing you better is not such a good idea......."

does he speak one word of english ?

does he speak one word of english ?

He does, and maybe he will dust off his button analogy for the UN.

"This year, the UN General Assembly will be held under the theme of "The United Nations at 70: the road ahead for peace, security and human rights."

I guess he will be in total oblivion on that one - I hope someone will ask him how the cases about B2, fish slavery, Thai aviation ban are going and see him blush up to his ears, talk about loosing face in UN

Here's an English translation PDF version I actually tried to evaluate years ago: thailaws.com - King's Sufficiency Economy

Thanks for that link

Just if somebody doubts that he got the power to stay....
