Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said his wife and twin daughters cried when staged the coup on May 22.
He said he did not tell his family in advance about his decision to stage the coup.
Speaking during a press conference at the Government House held to announce his government’s performance after three months in office, Prayut said he could not help but seizing power to tackle the political crisis.
“On 22 May, all in my house wept. I didn’t tell anyone in advance. I told brothers [other generals] later. But I had to do it or else I would have been criticised after my retirement how I could had led the situation go on like that,” Prayut said.
