Prayut seeks time to make Kingdom stronger, rejects outside assistance

PRIME Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has asked for time to make Thailand stronger, while defending his government's decision to maintain martial law.

During his weekly TV programme aired Friday night, Prayut said the country had cooperated with the global community in hundreds of international peacekeeping missions over the past several decades, and now it was time for it to take care of its own problems.
 
“I would like to tell the world community that my government would like to request time to do things for Thai people and Thailand, too. We [are the ones who] now have problems,” the PM said.
