The general prime minister is off to the South this week. The trip to Chumphon has been planned for a while, so the irony is coincidental.
The completely non-political trip to discuss serious stuff with citizens of the South comes a week after the general prime minister's privately owned junta warned off an actual native of the South, told him not to approach his homies.
Suthep "Kamnan" Thaugsuban, the 2014 coup-enabling Bangkok Shutdown artist who used to have a close, personal relationship with Gen (Ret) Prayut, is the founder and chief personality of a political group.
