I wonder what his position will be regarding Chinese claims to South China Sea, seeing as how Thailand is in hock to China for subs, APCs, trains, etc?

Since it's about the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, I share your wonder about which way he'll swing but I reckon he will be sitting firmly on that well known maritime feature called the fence.
