Thai PM leaves cardboard cutout to answer questions
Thailand's prime minister has taken a novel approach to avoiding questions at a news conference, by leaving a cardboard cutout to do the job.
Prayuth Chan-ocha briefly spoke to an audience outside Government House in Bangkok, before the life-sized replica was brought out.
"If you want to ask any questions on politics or conflict, ask this guy," Mr Prayuth said, then walked away waving.
Mr Prayuth led a military coup in 2014 and was named PM later that year.
