(Post Today photo)If Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his NCPO brothers are not in the habit of checking the temperature, it's the time for them to start. The prime minister should not forget that moment in history when Gen Suchinda was forced to step down in disgrace. In fact, it's safe to say many would still welcome a guided democracy under a strong leader, perhaps even one rather like Gen Prayut. The senior statesman's warning is a slap on the wrist, not only of Gen Prayut, but also that of Gen Prawit. As political support for him started to wither after nearly a decade, he turned his back on politics and stepped down gracefully.
