This Prawit Wongsuwan [watch] issue is going to bring the Prayut government down. Generals are supposed to analyse and act. Twiddling his thumbs while his deputy makes him look powerless and indecisive will be his downfall.

Shocking behaviour for a junta to engage in. Do they really think that they can fool the people into thinking they have support? I’m sure the junta apologists see how easily manipulated they are and stop posting about their undying love for licking boots and kissing ***

As far as I am concerned, the only thing I care about is the fact that the PM inflates the baht to sponsor his shopping spree for military toys. The American dollar down to Bt30 is quite indicative to me that sooner or later it will not be the populace that will get him, but the economy.
Who knows, by then maybe the Chinese yuan will be in control over the greenback.

Stupidity and deceit. Hardly attractive traits in your political leaders. And if they can try to deceive the public on this, how can they be trusted with anything? Time to go NCPO.

I think it’s a bit late to worry about that; any trust in the military government went a good while back.

Reprisals and face saving will go on for all time, Sincerely, thank you for the good roads you have provided in my area. NOW: Stop moving the goal posts, have the date sealed for the upcoming election, remove Article 44, and we can move on,

The Thai junta would often quote an opinion poll that showed 90 per cent plus popularity over the last four years ! Fake corrupted polls just as the vote on constitution was!

I’m guessing it was various obscure Internet cafes on the “road map” route !

It just confirms what people already think. As people start to lose their fear, more things will probably come out. Perhaps one day Thailand will stop turning to the military to solve problems, as it is obvious they are poorly suited to do so.

If this story is true, and I can think of no reason to believe that it isn’t, then it tells us that the military knows already that it is terribly unpopular and unlikely to retain power in any legitimate manner. Further, it knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that Prawit’s watch(es) are an issue of such importance in the upcoming political campaigns that it feels the need to use subversive tactics to try to combat it.
Or put another way, they are running scared. Keep at it, Thai people! Military 101 is to figure out your foes’ objective and deny it to them. The junta’s objective is legitimacy; circle the wagons and focus on denying that legitimacy as part of a campaign to oust them from political life.
