Great idea if it works.

Indeed. Awesome idea, and it's nice to see the 'evil dictatorship' float, as well as push to implement lots of projects that will provide long-term benefits for the country (the high speed train is another such).

 

Projects that could never have been implemented under anybody the prior govts.

Lol. Makes you think that a lot of countries should have 1 year of 'dictatorship once every 20 years.

 

A lot could be done.

Makes a lot more sense, financially, as it offloads the upkeep and maintenance to the companies renting from, while allowing the govt agencies to divest themselves from that burden.

Agreed - except it looks more than likely that Prayuth will hang around for at least the next 3-5 years.
