He's worried about Thailand's image? As the taxi driver in Singapore once said to me "everyone thinks your prime minister is a clown".

"Prayuth, in a televised address to the nation, said military rule had brought success in many areas, from fixing the problem of illegal fishing and human trafficking, to the rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach trapped in a flooded cave last year."

Meanwhile the most corrupt parts of Thai society - the police, customs, military and self anointed elite – have had a roaringly good and heavily protected few years as they stripped the nation's coffers.
