webfact Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Prawit heads overseas for 'health reasons' By The Nation BANGKOK: -- Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan will be on vacation from Tuesday to Sunday so he can travel overseas on a personal trip, a Government House source said. The source said Prawit would be absent from the weekly Cabinet meeting on Tuesday and a meeting of the National Council for Peace and Order in the afternoon. The leave letter says he wants to make the foreign trip for health reasons and he will return to Thailand on Sunday. The letter does not state which country he will visit. The source said Prawit complained that he was tired and stressed after being hit with a series of problems.

Eric Loh Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 That's unusual as he is going oversea during Songkran which is full of symbolic traditions and merit making and when people pay their respects. More than meets the eye. Maybe an important oversea assignment. Things are certainly happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a Thai equivalent which is more like an unfunny Stan Laurel in a uniform. It's a good job humour other than slapstick is effectively banned in Thailand - or folk would never stop laughing until the rivers ran with tears of their mirth - mixed of course with those of sadness.

They have got to take this shiny new constitution out for spin yet. As is the wont of Thai drivers they will crash that one , get off scot free , and mint another one maybe with or without added coup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) It's indicative of this persons negative thinking, that's if he thinks at all, he has at least four hospitals in Thailand that would only be to happy to take care of Pawtwit, the ones that have run out of money such a slight against the fine people in the medical field, that not unlike the education of Thailand , struggle daily with shoddy treatment from the government.................................
