The crown prince is returning to Thailand and I will wait for him to grant me audience so I can brief him on the government's work," said Prayuth Wednesday.
Prayuth is the chief of Thailand's junta, or military, who led a coup to seize power from the elected government in 2014. The junta's hope is that the crown prince will continue to bestow wealth and power to the military as the king has done in the past, according to the East Asia Forum.
