dageurreotype Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I can't wait to see how he will react to real questions instead of rehearsed ones and when he gets cross examined in the questioning or is asked for explanations with which he is put on the spot. Their have been several times it has happened already and he has not shown a very good manner or response to that. When it happened here though he berated the reporters whereas he won't be able to do this at a UN meeting. Who are gonna be his translators? I don't think he speaks any decent English..... Maybe he could call upon one of the hundreds of Thai expats waving anti junta placards outside the building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidream Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I doubt he is concerned about a few hundred wealthy Thai Expats. It is the United States- you can protest all you want. If these expats are so sure they are right- let them attempt a forum to discuss directly with the Prime Minster their ideas for reform and how they would accomplish it. I remember in Los Angeles when Thaksin made an appearance in 'Thai Town'. He was roundly booed by several hundred of Thai Expats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayboy Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Be aware that there is no requirement for any leader to have to go to the United Nations to speak or report. The General is going at his own free will and he is well aware of what he faces. I am sure he will speak differently to a foreign audience then he does to Thai reporters who are mostly ignorant. This man is no ones fool. He knows exactly what he is doing and how to get it done. Now whether we agree or not, that is up to everyone to decide. If I had to guess, he will make his speech which will give no insight into the Thai political situation; but he will meet with several World leaders; and do some good private public relations work.He will present his real case in private. As far as the UN- it has little real value and takes way too long to make any real decisions that affect anyone. This is just a meet and greet trip. He has never spoken to a high level foreign audience such as the UN.He has attended conferences but is figuratively always the one at the back picking his nose (literally in one instance).He has certainly had substantive exchanges with the Chinese and Japanese, but these regional powers will always keep dialogue going with neighnbours.If Thaksin came back tomorrow, he would have the same quality (actually rather better, becvause he understand the issues) relations with Beijing and Tokyo. At the UN he will have no problem with the assembly.(They are used to tyrants and thugs and in this particular group Prayuth is minor league).He won't have any problem with expat Thais either, most Sino Thai middle class - his natural supporters.Dissenting academics/intellectuals/students are a tiny minority and won't make an impact. His problem will be if he attempts one to one with serious Western leaders like Cameron, Obama,Merkel etc.They will be polite but firm, and will not be interested in his excuses for his role in dismantling democracy.He has little legitimacy in their eyes.Their Embassies and Foreign Offices are not staffed by idiots. He has made a good start this week by attacking the British Ambassador,Mark Kent, for a rather anodyne blog on democracy.Makes perfect sense to take on a member of the Security Council when one is trying to win friends and influence people at the UN. I agree with you he is not the dullard he appears to be.But intelligence only takes one so far.The damage he has done to Thailand is incalculable.
