Majority supports Prayut's "close country" remark: Poll

A majority of Thais, 55.07 per cent, supported Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha's remark: "If the country remains unstable, (National Centre for Peace and Order - NCPO) will stay on, even this means (we have to) close the country", according to Dus

In a poll covering 1,119 respondents, 30.40 per cent considered this a bluff, saying the action could cause more damage and spur resistance from some groups. 
In another question, 79.71 per cent said the Article 44 is the biggest strength of the Prayut administration. 78.73 per cent said the sluggishness of domestic economy in light of global impacts was the most vivid weakness of this government.
