holy cow cm Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 And why doesn't he pay attention to the fact the real majority of students and people do not like him or want his crooked cheating double standard ways running Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eligius Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I don't know about you, but I (vicariously, for the Thais, as it were) am sick and tired to my back teeth of being constantly lectured, exhorted, admonished and bossed around by this man - told what to think, what to do, what to read, what to say, what to wear, what to - well, just about everything. I am sure there are many Thais who will now make it a point of principle always to do the very OPPOSITE of what this person tries to force and foist upon them!

They will wish to steer clear of cha cha's Thailand. A wonderfully nationalistic notion steeped in deep delusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayduke Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 What Uncle Number One really means…is he would like ASEAN to see the streets filled with delirious demonstrations of the love he enjoys from the ‘democratically happy’ Thai people.... Something like this would do nicely.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Maybe Prayut himself should listen and act upon issues decided by ASEAN, such as the abolition of import taxes on most goods from member nations! Where is the duty-free beer from Laos and Vietnam? Why are Malaysian-made Volvos not sold at Thai car prices? Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, just as you wanted them to pay attention to all the other candidates (who you allowed to campaign against you for about 24 hours) in the March 24 rigged election. Yes Sir, we'll do as you say. 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyL Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I am assuming Prayut is going to the chair the ASEAN summit in Thai as he is unable to converse in the official language of it. I can already picture how awkward he must look doing something like this and I would love to see video evidence. A charlatan far out of his depth, whereas someone like Thanathorn would be comfortable and confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chama Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Pay attention....but don't say anything. And as soon as he negotiates away any favorable deals to Thailand it will be a 180 turn to "why are you paying attention to things you do not understand?" But any educated observer will know who doesn't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
