Trump called him ... so it's obvious the US recognizes Thailand's Khun Prayuth Chan O Cha as the PM. Probably Trump was confused between Taiwan and Thailand, as most Americans are.

Probably not, but a lot of Americans would pick a Thai dish. Thai food really is very popular there. Edited June 3, 2017 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Khun Prayuth Chan O Cha has previously represented Thailand at the UN general assembly. He speaks english and he speaks with an assertive and confident tone. The Junta controls Thailand because of it's history of fighting, uncontrolled lawlessness and insecurity ..... It is apparent that now Thailand has a stable government in place and I as everyone can carry on with daily lives as normal, one can travel anywhere, shop anywhere and do with relative safety. It is sad that some choose to reside in Thailand and wake up every day with the burden of negativity haunting them constantly .... would they be happy in their home country ?

Thaidream Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 While I am not a supporter of President Trump and disagree completely with most of his agenda- I do agree that inviting the Thai PM was a wise and sensible act. Thailand and the US alliance go back many decades and under the US-Thailand Manila Pact of 1954- America would come to the aid of Thailand militarily if asked. Donald Trump won't be lecturing Khun Prayut but he will set the stage for future military access to Thai military bases in light of the situation involving North Korea. The US needs support if it is involved in a war with North Korea and Thailand would be a natural ally based upon historical Thai involvement in Korea. Thailand will also get to purchase US military weapons/planes at a good price which will help the trade deficit and get a big smile from Donald Trump. Trump and Khun Prayut are natural allies- having similar temperaments and similar issues with the Press and constituents. Expect big smiles and back slapping all around and a planned visit to Thailand by Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beats56 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Well at least the PM will get.to look at how wires are strung on poles and there is organized traffic. And all the alcohol advertising that is every where..tv and restraunts..speaking of tv he might be shocked what he sees there. It will be a culture shock for him.

They also share similar ideologies, so the meeting should go well. The only caveat is Prayut's embarrassing attempts to speak English, but then again this may not the impediment that it could be with other leaders. Oooh, you are awful! But I like you!

His tactics are well documented through civil law suits. He has been party to 4,000 lawsuits during his life time and was facing 75 active law suits when he entered office. Of course not all the suits were filed against him, he also is easy to file lawsuits in order to run smaller businesses into the ground which couldn't afford the legal fees. The first suit I am aware of that was filed against him was filed by the US Justice Dept. in 1973 for his company's refusal to rent housing to black people. He ended up settling without admitting guilt. And to answer your question, no, I'm not joking. Edited June 5, 2017 by kamahele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no one in government has ever noticed this pattern. And it just keeps going on and on and on. And no attorney group has thought to file any kind suit on behalf of all these small businesses. Everyone just ignores it and life goes on. Now I understand. Thanks. Edited June 6, 2017 by Ramen087 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
