colinneil Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 So some kids will be allowed in the PMs office, only condition is they cannot play with Prayuts toys, as they are very dirty after being thrown out of the pram so many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The theme will be “Thai Children with a Volunteering Spirit, So any kid other than Thai going to school and living here is probably not allowed. Years and years ago I guess unnoticed getting on, but then noticed after, I remember being kicked off of the Thai aircraft carrier with the Thai group I was with because I was white. I got all the way into the middle section before some low ranker escorted me off. The majority of the group stuck by me and left. Racism is hot and heavy and alive with in the government.

Years ago the same happened to me on the (only) aircraft carrier. Two navy personnel at the bottom of the gangplank told me foreigners weren't allowed on board. When I pointed there was a group of a dozen or so Chinese ahead of me had been allowed on, the navy guy said, "Oh, they're OK." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an important man and is busy running the country all by himself. It is sure to be only his cardboard cut-out that will be in his office..
