The government agitprop department truly are clueless, churning out stuff like this. What do they hope to gain other than ridicule for the story-poll on Sunday confirming how the people approve-story-poll on Sunday cycle?

[Fat Haggis]

What a crock of shit, the majority of the country more likely hadn't a clue he'd gone!!

They do love these back slapping self serving Sunday polls don't they?

Perhaps the Dusit people should run a similar one about the PMs sneaky introduction to a single gateway Internet system and if they thought they was a good idea too!! ?

yes a good Thai citizen with a internet registration number of 4765923456390 and with a high ranking in the governments newly formed citizens database said during taking the poll that he was 100% satisfied with the UN trip. "A good use of Thai tax payers money. I have never been so happy in my life. I would like to say since there is no more Facebook in Thailand I spend more time with my daughter. Thank you. Am I free to go?"

The good news just never stops coming in this utopia of peace, prosperity and happiness. Tourism is up. Corruption at an all time low. Slavery and human trafficking have been eliminated. The Southern insurgency is over. The pesky pro-democracy loonies have all packed up and gone home. Economy is booming and the currency is strong. Consumer spending is high and household debt is low. Employment rates are high. Student achievement is high and students want more homework. Cops are catching bad guys purely because it is their sworn civic duty. Vices such as drugs, prostitution and illegal gambling don't exist in this kingdom of virtue. And to preserve all of these achievements there will be a benign single internet gateway to make sure no outside influences upset the balance and harmony brought to Thai society by the current regime.

Who does these polls? And more importantly who is paying for them?

[ChrisY1]

I don't even believe they ever hold any polls....wife is pretty well know and knows hundreds...all of whom have never been polled..once!

[eldragon]

I know about Dusit Polls: start with the conclusion you want and then come up with data to support it.

[NongKhaiKid]

81.96 % was the top figure, whatever happened to the good old days when Thai Researchers for Community Happiness had him in the high 90s ?

[Bluespunk]

I have no respect for any poll like this, they are designed to produce the answer the pollster wants, but this has to be one of the stupidest I have read about.

The views have no basis in verifiable information or reliable data but rely solely upon the information fed to the populace through controlled media channels.

Farcical.

Dusit Poll survey indicates PM Gen Prayut's trip to UNGA is a success

He successfully made it back, his only success.

[Thailand]

Finally,some good positive news.

[Just1Voice]

And Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and Peter Pan are all real. I swear, they really are!

[Denim]

There is a serious misprint in this survey. It should read :

1.125 people participated.

Not.

1,125 people participated.

Probably just a typo but even more misleading than the corrected version

Must have been taught at the same place as the RTP then?.

[LannaGuy]

I asked my Thai teacher today and she had no clue he went to the UN and this is a well educated and travelled Thai

Thais, generally, are "gob nai kala"

[chainarong]

The Dusit poll crowd should do a bit of real polling and travel out to Issan and the satellite provinces and see what the survey would indicate.

Weird thing is some posters on this very forum actually believe Thailand is like this under the junta and it was some utter hell hole when the shins were in charge.

All seems the same to me!

[EnglishJohn]

Hilarious. There was a poll the other day which reflected badly on the Junta and you people were all over it saying how it proved how bad they really are.

Now we have one saying something positive and you are all over it saying how it is all lies and propaganda.

Your opinions are truly priceless. And worthless.

[mrrizzla]

^^^^

And there is one of the sycophants I was talking about. Right on schedule.

[Fat Haggis]

Yes, I have asked often what was so horrendous about their lives under the PTP Regime that made life for them so unbearable that this current crowd of muppets are doing differently.

I've yet to see a credible response, in other words the majority are really just whinging old men with pretty much zero life beyond their 4 walls, that they're not even allowed to own, even under this fantastic lot of life changers!!!

Most would be lost without Thai visa as a conduit to moan and whine how hard it was to survive under the PTP, like they personally suffered hardship!!

You must understand that the opinions of brown skinned, uneducated farmers don't matter. Only the opinions of the Sino-Thai hiso Bangkokians with their latte sipping, metro-sexual offspring really matters!

[bamnutsak]

This is easily the silliest and most unbelievable Joint United National Thai Authority poll ever. And that's saying something.

Clearly they have no shame.

Waiting for tomorrow's poll which says will say that 96.5289% approve of the Single Internet Gateway.

[phoenixdoglover]

We never see the text of the poll - the introductory text, the questions, the choices offered.

However I have managed to get a partial copy of this latest poll, and asked my dog to translate it for me. Here it is:

Good Day. We are calling you from the Suan Dusit poll and we would like to ask you 3 questions. If you answer these questions correctly, we will give you a gift coupon for Big C. Are you ready?

Last week, our hard working Prime Minister traveled to the United Nations in far away United States of America. He was greeted by many friendly Thai people there. Then he met with many friendly world leaders, and he explained all the good things about Thailand. The leaders of all other countries said they were very satisfied with the wonderful Thai people, and their hard working Prime Minister. He met the famous President Obama, and they had a friendly conversation. Then the Prime Minister gave a speech to all the countries of the world and they were very happy to hear the speech. Now, the Prime Minister has returned from his successful trip to the United Nations meeting and he is working very hard for the Thai people.

Question 1 - How much do you think the hard working Prime Minister improved the image of Thailand during this successful trip to the United Nations ?

a. a great deal

b. very much

c. overall, a lot

d. quite a bit

Thank you for your answer. You now have only 2 more questions to answer correctly and you will receive a gift certificate for Big C.

[DM07]

...but of course it was!

[GinBoy2]

Half of me hates the fact that I'm even responding to this.....but really how many more 'I Love Everything That Happens' Dusit polls do we have to endure?

If the the PM said the earth was flat, guarantee you a Dusit poll would confirm that 96.65785368653% of the population agreed with him

So would a few posters on here, and that's the alarming part!!

[Basil B]

Did they actually think his trip to the UNGA was a success... or it was great not to have him around for a week???

[T_Dog]

Spin spin spin. One of the websites was registered one week before the coup. Tennis stars and polls..... They know what they are doing and control is the name of the game.

[asdecas]

It appears that "attitude adjustment" is a raging success at Camp Terdsak.

Or perhaps the poll questions were loaded. For example, if asked:

"Would you agree that General Happiness' presence at the UNGA, where he garnered the universal acclaim of global leaders, who broke into spontaneous applause time and again during his speech, was successful?", how would a locally-educated moo ping seller reply?
