Clock ticking for PM to avoid disgraceA lone protester sits in front of police water cannon trucks to prevent them from advancing on demonstrators who gathered peacefully at Pathumwan intersection on Friday. He asked the other day while justifying the declaration of a severe state of emergency until next month.

The force of the water cannon was enough to wash away any semblance of PM Gen Prayut's legitimacy. It actually act might have, before the water cannon blasts.
