PHUKET:-- A Thai celebrity today made an appeal to avoid being drafted in the military this year.

The appeal was made at a recruitment drive that is set to receive 3,000 young men for military service from the province. The two-day event started this morning.

Tanon Chamroen, Phuket-born winner of popular TV show ‘The Voice Thailand’, sought his first deferment at the Piboon Sawasdee School in Phuket Town, citing the reason that he is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree at Bangkok University.

What kind of celebrities LMFAO! They are just like anyone else but people celebrate them because they follow what they love to do instead of following the system.

By the way I have never understood why don't those who came up with the idea of fooling people into thinking that an army is needed at all and soldiers fight for the country, become soldiers themselves????? Don't you want to fight for the country?!

Don't do as I do...do as I say!

"Mr Tanon then proceeded to encourage young Thai men to do their duty for their country."

 

Until he does anything other than just sing and go to school, his words are reflective of a very hollow and self serving person.

Ok for you to get beaten to death, but not me...I won a copy cat contest for my singing, I'm special and getting a useless degree in nothing...!

Hypocrisy abounds.  Someone needs to 'man-up.'

[Srikcir]

Anyone man that wears an undershirt beneath a T-shirt deserves to be drafted.

'Mr Tanon then proceeded to encourage young Thai men to do their duty for their country.'

 

Which particular duty would that be? The last time Thailand fought a serious war, it was on elephant back.

 

Still, being deferred sounds much more painful for a 'celebrity' than joining up.
