Has there been any mention of prying open the treasury doors and releasing some bahts to help the distraught people in the south. You know the old saying "Put your money where your mouth is" 

I don't think The Boss has had a wander down there as yet.  Hmmmm . . . . .

 

It would make a great photo op and an extra special opportunity for him to express concern and stress to govt officials that they should do the jobs they are there to do.

Just like he did when he praised Thai people's efforts in helping to keep road safety uppermost in their minds to save lives over the New Year period.
