SpeakeasyThai Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 He should have the best most expensive scarf. Infact he should have the best of everthing, afterall he's on an important mission representing all Thais and needs the best of everything to achieve the best possible results for his nation he cares about so much. ?

BigC Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Sorry but this is a bit silly 20,000 Baht for a diplomat scarf is far from 20 million baht watches plus makes me laugh about Yingluck not inviting Him as he wants to out her in prison lol also 26 degrees is cold for a Thai my aircon goes up to 25 degrees i am sure if he was on a solifer mission he wouldn’t need a scarf but diplomats when meeting prime ministers round the world domabe to dress appropriately to take things seriously question is how much is Thereasa May’s neckless she wears round her neck worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreungthep123 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 this is the common shortcoming of Thais regardless of social status and position - the need to show off. If you look at the government ministers in Singapore, who on average make 28m baht in annual salary, they are always careful not to show their wealth. Very few wear branded accessories or drive flashy cars. So it is this showoff mentality of Thai unelected government officials that get them into the spotlight. But then again, who cares? Nothing seems to be able to unseat them, as they have their powerful cronies in the citizenry that support them. Thailand is definitely going down the tubes, slowly but surely. Quite sad really.

Maybe if ivanka was thai you would have more to say. Speakman was one of a very very small exalted group Comparing an ordinary ' grunt ' with a career politician/soldier is michievous to say the least. Prayut like most politicians EVERYWHERE in the world has shortcomings...even good old back home where everything is perfect Difference is Trump got elected and his family claims to be rich and he has to run for re-election to stay in power. Prayut took control by force and claims to be a simple soldier turned politician to serve the people. Called Hypocrisy and I agree with you that most politicians are hypocrites but pointing out their hypocrisy is easier with Prayut due to his claim of righteousness.

With respect, I wish to correct you on the average salary of ministers. PM Lee’s annual salary is 1.6 M and his ministers salaries depending on position and seniority significantly lower. But you are correct to state that government ministers are very aware of flashy dressing. In fact the PM and wife have been criticized of not wearing for the occasion even when meeting dignitaries. In Prayut’s case, it is just his arrogance and a man intoxicated with power and a whole lot of narcissism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he had to bargain the price down a bit from the usual 150 baht they normally hit the punters up for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
