Here we are of course referring to Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, the incumbent prime minister and 2014 coup maker. Gen Prayut is a prime ministerial candidate and he has effectively picked his own supporters to sit in the Senate. However, what also unites them, and makes Mr Thanathorn vulnerable to a political witch-hunt, is his wealthy background. But many conservative media outlets and anti-Thaksin groups have tried to find fault with him anyway. He is not a replica of Thaksin, Gen Prayut is.
