Broken Record Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Looks like he's been ordered to find a way of stopping young Thai people from seeking news and opinions from outside Thailand, keep them listening to the BS fed to them from birth, these old rich families that are running Thailand are scared of the future.

He might very well know how ridiculous his words are, but he has no alternative, he has to follow the script. He's doing as he's told, he has no choice.

DavisH Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 As John McEnroe would say to the umpire....you can't be serious!! Even my Thai students don't like learning Thai and prefer English. I saw them studying for test today and asked them about it. They said most of it was useless (for everyday use).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I think it's his lousy excuse for the poor English skills by Thais in public schools and not hiring some native English speakers or at least Filipinos. Funny, very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more like noises than actual words.a cross between gobbledegook and double Dutch with groans,yelps,squeals and errs and half of its back to front.

edwinchester Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 “The most commonly used language today is of course English. If it was Thai, we’d be a great power already. Is there a chance? Yes. If you do what I say, one day Thai will be the world’s lingua franca,” Prayuth said. Megalomaniacal springs to mind. "If you do what I say....."

Thai is spoken in, well, Thailand. Our illustrious leader has finally lost the plot. To be honest he lost the plot in his first message to the public the day he took power when he said he had 3 reasons for taking over. 1. Thailand is special. 2. Democracy in thailand has resulted in deaths. 3. We have more reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we not long ago have the education ministry wanting better English spoken by Thais ! What about ASEAN also !! Has anyone told the other countries learning English is flawed and they need to stop and redirect there efforts to speaking Thai ! Delusional !! is not harsh enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 My bilingual children Thai/English always speak English when playing together. No one ever told them to do that, they just do it. One day I asked them about it, and they said "its easier, I can speak less and say more". That about sums it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is only true if you drop half the words in a sentence, like. Go eat now? Vs Shall we go and eat now? Want eat? Vs Do you want to eat now? Etc,, english has many many words that are not really required in most common use.. Not sure about thai hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanemax Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 He didnt mean it that way , what he meant was 'Thai language may become as popular as English one day, but , untill then, keep learning to speak English" is what he meant . What he said was taken out of context Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
