Prayuth Chan-ocha: Thai PM sprays sanitiser on reporters

Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha surprised journalists at a recent press conference when he chose an unusual way to deflect their questions.

When asked about a cabinet reshuffle, he picked up a bottle of sanitiser and began spraying reporters.

So far nothing in the mainstream English news here.

It was shown on TV-5 Monde at noon, laughing matter among journalists. A respectable PM 555

Not able to speak Thai I have no context. Was it meant as a joke or response to a stupid question about covid, or was he just trying to rudely spray the pesky reporters away?

The man has a country to run so must take all necessary precautions. I thoroughly commend his sanitising of reporters in close proximity to him. If he gets sick, the whole country suffers. A stark contrast to the likes of Trump who didn't believe in the virus.

Lead by example. :wink:

The guy's a nut. Given the chance, he would have sprayed them with bullets!

...and most of them would still have laughed politely. "Oh that Prayut, he's such a character!"

As with many topics, we've been round this block before on the forum, at least once. There was a much more vocal "if you don't like it, leave" brigade 10+ years ago.

Agreed. Posts about "Stay or Go" moved to viewtopic.php?f=8&t=38406 Which is one of many threads on the subject.
