Date for Prayut’s US trip not finalised
By The Nation

 

BANGKOK: -- Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai said on Tuesday that the date for Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha’s trip to meet US President Donald Trump in Washington DC has not been finalised.

 

He said that is because both sides are making preparations for all issues before the visit.

 

Don said it is not strange that such preparations take time because the leaders of the two countries have not held an official meeting for three years.

 

He said the preparations need to be made because both governments want the visit to yield results.

 

Don does not know if the preparations will be done this month.

Preparations take time and to avoid looking like a complete idiot, these Dutch tourists are helping with basic English.

The US is still frantically preparing the huge volume of ticker tape required for the grand welcome of world leader PM Prayut.

Meanwhile, expect more poems  or maybe a cowboy song this time

What if anything have the Americans to say about it?

More BS to make himself seem not to be a pariah in the international community. Trump has nothing whatever to gain and lots to lose by shaking Prayuths hand.

 

Thai reporting at its usual standard.

I wonder why Prayuth is not attending the G20 meeting in Hamburg???? According to his Ego it would be the right place for him and Thailand as a nation, isn't it?

[klauskunkel]

Slowly Prayuth realizes that the "invitation to visit" wasn't a formal one. I imagine' when Prayuth called Trump to congratulate him on the election, Trump ended the phone call by saying, "hey why don't you look me up when you're in town" and Prayuth took it literally...

And now, having to save face again, the "preparations for the trip" are so complex that the date for the visit, which was end of July, is now "unknown"... Kind of sounds like the election date

Trump and his staff need more time to learn the universal language Thai to avoid embarrassment only knowing english. And figure out which Hub belongs to Thailand but immediately ruled out democracy.

Can't get a visa. Probably not enough money in the bank.

If it is a diplomatic "working" visit with POTUS then Prayut probably needs a Work Permit as well.

Would make a great tag team duo in a WWE bout with the press

[blackson]

Prayut will assure Trump that human trafficking, the child sex trade, corruption, human rights violations, state sponsored drug trade, invisible fugitive monks, pattaya soi 6, thailand fugitive hideout status, cop killers (red bull Boss punk) etc, has all been eradicated, thanks to the black-hawk choppers, to wit, trump will tell him to go XXXX himself!
