anon467848 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Gen. Prayut should take a look on his own doorstep if he wants to save money. The money that he is trying to save, pails into insignificance, when compared to the military budget spending... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayk Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) 10 million baht for a governor to make a foreign visit. Who is he visiting, the man on the moon? The general shouldn't be thanking him for canceling the visit but should be interrogating him on how such a visit could possibly cost so $285,000US dollars.

Nobb Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Is this like government army employees who sit on chairs and do nothing to help the police but get overtime pay for doing nothing. Start with these stupid over time bills for the military government workers who do nothing but want to look important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerojero Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Umm....unnecessary like going to the UN in New York? And with the hundreds of billions being thrown around by this government for dozens of mega-projects, why worry about a few million extra for travel!

All the more reason they should be willing to drop it. Perhaps only color that matters is colors of money. Elites don't become elites on base salaries. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss......
