Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha Thursday hit out at an unnamed foreign diplomat for "reporting wrongly" about Thailand.
He also reiterated that Thailand’s problems should be solved domestically and there should be no intervention from outside the country.
“What I care most is that we should not allow foreigners to interfere with our country. This is our home, our country. Don’t forget that we have our own laws. Outsiders do not understand what’s going on in our country,” he said.
The prime minister said, “I don’t know if he understood what I said. I hear that he can speak Thai. But it seemed he didn’t understand me. He reported back wrongly.”
He was speaking while presiding over the Thailand Innovation and Design Expo 2015 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, where he presented the Prime Minister’s Export Awards to the country’s outstanding exporters.
