Still, I had my doubts and thought it might have been a misquote until Gen Prayut came out the next day to say that the book "has nothing to do with politics". Go and read Animal Farm. "The prime minister also recommends everyone read the Thai edition of Animal Farm. For his critics, Gen Prayut is Napoleon, the disgruntled pig who rallies the other four-legged animals to rise up and seize power from their two-legged owner. No matter what Gen Prayut might have meant by recommending the novel, the politicians he was targeting are already mocking him.
