colinneil Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Prayut and Big Joke are both the same...... They will do/say anything just to get media attention.

Denim Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The man is a living God walking among mortals. Shouldn't we all have another whip round and build a temple dedicated to his worship ? Maybe a phallus could be his avatar.Seems appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeray Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If he is so lucky to be PM a year or two from now, it will be interesting to see if he repeats this "stunt" for other disasters. Somehow, I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossy Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 No doubt about it, this regime's a breath of fresh air . . . a 'fresh-air' spray, almost, that they need whenever pit-bull Prayuth gets on one of his ego trips. Let's face it, this guy is something else . . . isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckenfell Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 What will happen to all this money. Might i suggest that it is used to survey and mark all original natural rainwater drainage sites . To build new concrete drainage channels and where the natural water courses have been built over, to force the culprits to build new drains to accommodate the release of such water. A good example would be the "Warf" area of Bo Phut which is always one of the first to flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
