Prayut invokes epic myth to hammer oppositionPrime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha stands to speak during a general debate in Parliament on Thursday. "We all know how Thotsakan met his fate," Gen Prayut told parliament. Gen Prayut said the government is working with other agencies to address numerous problems. Before the session started Gen Prayut had downplayed a warning sent by ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra, who mentioned in a ClubHouse session that Gen Prayut's premiership would be "hijacked" in a future House session. Observers noted that after several years in politics, Gen Prayut, who is known to have a short fuse, appeared more composed.
