Maybe Prayut can promote his Royal Rainmaking Air Force.

Other than his daily temper tantrums, he is a bit of a dullard. There is more to Thailand than agricultural products.

btw.....in which language he will speak? English...? hope some TV stations will record it.....

...will urge close cooperation in developing and strengthening the capacity of SMEs, e-commerce, advanced technology and innovation at the meeting.

Speeches by politicians that "urge" something are extremely good sleep therapy.

So the Prime Minister thought it was a good idea to go to the USA for trade; but he did not want to join the Free Trade deal with the USA and 12 other countires, including Canada, USA, Mexico, Australia. Funny that Vietnam thought it was good to join ! Now there is no Tax on Vietnamese rice; but there is on Thai rice.

"PM to promote SMEs at ASEAN-U.S. Leaders Summit"

A shame. I fully expected him to go there and promote human rights...

Here's a take on the meeting from across the pond.
