Blogging for the Asian Correspondent, Saksith Saiyasombut noted that the “half-baked joke is inappropriate," calling on Prayuth to be more careful with his public statements in the future: …this is a lesson for the outgoing army chief, junta leader and prime minister that he is now under much, much more public scrutiny now that he has took (over) this position and that he has to choose his words more carefully.
…Aquesta és tota una lliçó per a l'extravertit cap de l'exèrcit, líder de la junta i primer ministre que ara està sota molt més escrutini públic que en tot el temps que ha ostentat aquest càrrec i, per això, ha d'elegir les seues paraules més acuradament.
