Scandal is not how Prawit got rich, but how he stayed so poor

Firstly, he could have bought the watch and his bling-bling after he declared his assets. He is not required by law to report his spending during his time in office. He is, however, required to disclose his assets again upon leaving his post.
Secondly, the Bt87-million man certainly can afford a Richard Mille watch and his “shine on you crazy diamond” ring.
And finally, General Prawit’s assets of Bt87 million may sound humongous for a career soldier. But he was no foot soldier; he was the Commander-in-Chief of the Thai army. By Thai standards, a former Army chief with assets of Bt87 million is considered destitute.
If I were General Prawit, I wouldn’t lose sleep over the scandal. Sa bai, sa bai.
