"adding that all Thais have kindness in their blood."

He must know this because so many are spilling it on the road each day causing many not to have blood in their hearts.

Every Thai person? Does he know ALL of his countrymen personally?

'Prayut' "said every Thai person would be proud of their actions as good hosts to the visitors, and that every Thai person possesses kindness in their blood."

Utter and complete BS. Try telling that to the Rohingya

The people of Ko Libong are pretty friendly. The island doesn't get a lot of visitors and is very quiet.

adding that all Thais have kindness in their blood.

That must be why they like to spill each others blood so frequently, to access the kindness.

which punctured the boat and caused leakages.

A​n inflatable boat was it?

Perhaps he should listen to himself and treat Visitors with some respect instead of having his people accidentally kill them, have police waiting for a "visitor" to ride past and nab them, while countrymen ride past with no helmets... and maybe even let Visitors become residents of this country with the same rights as the locals....

Nah...
