Army chief apologises to ASTV-Manager daily
Army Chief General Prayuth Chanocha Monday issued a public apology to the ASTV-Manager daily for his men holding a rally outside the paper's offices on Friday and Saturday.
He said he was also sorry about his moodiness recently, adding that he had ordered an investigation into the protest led by the men in uniform and hoped his sub-ordinates would be "patient".
The move came after ASTV-Manager daily called Prayuth "lousy" for his stance in relation to the Thai-Cambodian border dispute.
Prayuth was speaking to reporters after he attended an event celebrating the First Area Army's 103th anniversary where many military officers came to give him moral support.
