NCPO plays down foreign govts’ warnings

The warnings were issued by foreign embassies, telling their citizens in Thailand to stay safe given possible political tensions in the run-up to Sunday’s referendum on the charter draft.
Col Piyapong Klinphan, a spokesman of the NCPO, said the warnings were based on inaccurate information or information from people with malicious intention.
“The NCPO would like to inform the public the NCPO is still in control of the law and order effectively,” the spokesman said.
“The NCPO would like to thank the foreign allies for their concern. We also realise the internal problems of our ally nations so we would like to state that Thais can take care of their own internal problems without the need to seek help from foreign friends.”
