The 5 RIVERS they are not in tow on this occassion ?

Cut backs I suppose

[NongKhaiKid]

Is he trying to look like Donald Trump ?

The Prayut ?

[Lupatria]

Possible news tomorrow: the welcome committee consisting of hundreds of rice farmers released millions of anopheles mosquitoes from hot bags, trained to target everyone with epaulettes.

[Squeegee]

Wait, why are they sending a man in black and a baseball cap, does he got a gun in there?

Mate, if you wanna do like the natives it should be a Barcelona or Germany shirt, this is Thailand, after all.

Wow. Prayut came just in time when most farmers were cutting their rice. Only to get 8 baht per kilo the lowest in 12+ years and when yield per rai was on the order of 7.5 50 kilo bags.

Last year 7 rai produced 70+ bags.

Now these villagers over 65 years old who suppose to receive a meager 700 baht monthly dole, has not received anything for 3 months.

Imagine electric per month is at least 300. Water 300. And now, their harvest for 7 rai at 27,500 for 1 year.

Minus chemicals. Minus tilling. And minus reseeding.

These poor boogers are depending on their children. Hence, Patong.

Prayut, you're the man

Did he bring any money or only a bag of promises. Bangkok's table runneth over with bounty. The rest of the country not so much.

Ah yes the children including my g/f. Thailands unofficial pension plan. The government could and should be doing better for seniors than 700 bahts a month. Forget the subs and the Beijing bullet train and cops handguns and boost seniors pensions to at least poverty level. Oh I forget this is another populist policy that the government is trying to avoid. As you outlined above after electric and water is paid not much left over. What a disgrace.

Seriously, how does anyone come up with a ridiculous comment like this.

It’s been a while since I’ve had anything positive to say about the junta head, but this time I have to say

The only way any reconciliation can succeed is if he gets out and meets with as many people as he can, and listens to what they have to say.

Then, he still may not make them happy, but at least he just might make them smile.

And if they tell him they want him gone and an election now....would he listen to the people?

No, it is they that must listen to him. That is not reconciliation.

[stoneyboy]

I do hope the general doesn't contract dengue fever on his travels,that would be a terrible problem for the nation to have to deal with in these times of hardship.

I can only imagine the despair of the nation missing out on his Friday night chat show due to ill health.

Yep, he's turned things around alright, upside down to be precise. But, hey, hang on, maybe he has done some good, the country is alot safer now, no bombs or violence. Hmm, no, we still have that, umm, done something good? Hmm, he's boosted the economy! Oh, damn no he hasn't. Umm? Help, pls! Umm...

don't be ridiculous he had armed guards, body scanners and a controlled 'audience' who will say just what he wanted them to say

all manufactured propaganda nonsense to show, people like you it seems, that he is 'in touch' when in fact he represents the Bangkok Elite only

No different than Yingluck and the PTP when she visited Issan then, except that she represented the Shinawatra Elite only.
