Premier Hun Sen arrives amid warm welcome by Thai PM



BANGKOK: -- Thailand today gave a warm welcome to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on his first visit to the country as the guest of the government.

As soon as Mr Hun Sen came out the car, PM Prayut offered him a handshake and both leaders seen hugging each other.

Prayut to Hun Sen...

"Dude, you've hung on to power for, like, fricking EVER! Tell me how? I'm all ears."

I just wish it was somebody with half a brain (like Lee Kuan Yew) asking that question.

I know that Prayuth is a bit mad but it appears the poor old boy is actually scizhophrenic.

Thaksins mate getting a warm welcome. I guess Hun Sen has years of experienced suppressing his own people. These two will be like peas in a pod.

Fond of rubies too. ...

Peas in a pod

Prayut seeking advice on how to cling onto power.

"As soon as Mr Hun Sen came out the car, PM Prayut offered him a handshake and both leaders seen hugging each other."

The blind (with power) leading the blind (with power).

12 years in power? More than 30 years in fact

Prayut may have a yellow tie. But Hun Sen has red underpants.

12 years in power? More than 30 years in fact

Exactly.....and of course, how many of his own people died?

What about that temple dispute on the border? Seems forgotten and all is sweet now?

Lets talk about oil. That's what this meeting is all about, shhhh!

Thailand always has the red carpet out for neigbouring scoundrels. Just as they did with Pol Pot when he fled in Cambodia and was embraced into the welcoming arms of the Thais. This was after Vietnamese liberated Cambodia and put and end to Pol Pot's murderous reign.

Sheep always welcome sheep. Jackals always welcome Jackals...etc etc..

"According to Bangkok Post, Gen Prayut and Mr Hun Sen and Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha...."

As if one of him wasn't enough now there's two Uncle Toos. One's a Gen and the other a PM but they'll only both come out for a bird of a feather.

OK...so they admire one another....that is no surprise.
