Personally I respect him for bringing some stability to Thailand if not anything else.
Ditto, nothing wrong with a strongman; and for those with a clue from recent events, things tend to go wrong when they are deposed by 'democracy' nuts.

Prayut will leave next year or in ten, and by then he and his cronies will have looted about what the last government nicked and the next will, so with the added value of stability the country is overall better off than it otherwise would have been, albeit with a strong arm which freaks out the oh so righteous.
