Rao Tum Dai: Thai could be world's new english, Prayuth says

[whatawonderfulday]

You couldn't make this up.  The Dear Leader has clearly lost the plot

[Rhys]

so it is said let it be done, SOP of Thai Educational Administrators and non-Educational Thai administration... Reach for the moon, yes, but don't blow up on the pad..

[seahorse]

Look on the bright side. At least everybody agrees for once.

[ezflip]

Replace Donald Trump with Prayuth and you have pretty much the same thing.

[55Jay]

Had to double check this wasn't a "Not the Nation" article.  Ironically, Not the Nation could print this as is, without any satirical spin. 

[Brer Fox]

A panglossion extraordinaire is the Thai PM.

Ever since I came to Thailand three years ago, I have been worried things are changing. Good to see it is not the case.

[Captain_Bob]

Hey Khun General, try going to the next ASEAN conference and address them in Thai with no translators. 90% will be staring back at you with a profound W T F expression ;-)

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

Many words in Thai are shorter but mean the same thing....love=lub....boo= boots villid= village. International Financial establishment=ATM.

[chowny77]

I nearly spat my beer out from laughing when I read this! Is this guy a complete moron? The Thai language will never go further than Thailand or people in a community that are Thai. It will be obsolete within 150 years as by then English will be the norm same as Singapore, Malaysia and most other SE Asian countries.

Prayuth is almost perfect in his delusional Thai-centric, torturing of the truth. One of the most unbelievable statements made this year. RIght up there with his denial that Bangkok tap water can make you sick.

You know this proves he's a man of his words,  he has been drinking the tap water.

I think so too. The man is a bullyboy, arrogant with not that much to be arrogant about and with a sense of entitlement, but I simply do not believe he is that deluded. I agree he must have been taken out of context.

If not, Christ help us all...

No offence intended Baboon but the PM is clearly more qualified for your nic than you are. Unless, of course PM refers to primative mind, proven mad, pre madona or physco man. Maybe We all should be PM's. I know Im pissing myself!

Really, Thai will become as popular as English?

 

English is a language, that when spoken correctly is exact, unable to be misinterpreted and not open to misunderstanding.

 

Thai is a language of vagueness, non specific, best fit words. The south of the country's language is different from the north.

OMG this guy really is a lunatic and totally drunk on power.  Where are his supporters that claimed he was the messiah, are they now hanging their heads in shame?

More proof that he is delusional if the report is true.

Yes, ban the use of English and all other foreign languages in Thailand, ban all language school except those teaching Thai.Expel all foreigners, expats, tourists, diplomats, businessmen, investors who cannot speak and read and write Thai. No media is allowed except in Thai. All labelling s, signs etc can only be in Thai. Break off all relations with any countries that cannot speak Thai. Avoid all products that do not have English labels, price tags, brand names in thai. Thailand and thai is number one! Hurrah!

Should also introduce a single gateway to stop anything going in or out.

Thai will never be an international language. The option is learn English or get left behind or stay in the dark ages.

 

There is more chance of the national Thai language being Chinese than Thai ever being considered internationally suitable or practiced.
