The Army’s airship made emergency landing in Pattani Province
Bottom right: Again…
[The military airship was a special project to Gen. Anupong, a powerful member of the new government. It is thought that the projects continuation was a sop from Gen. Prayuth to keep his key generals happy. That the troubled project has had problems such as emergency landings makes people think that the military is still engaging in the time-honored Thai tradition of spending money to maintain its allies in government.]
