The junta leader enjoyed a ‘massage of congratulation’ from leaders of other states, according to the official website of the Royal Thai Government.
The misspelling on the official website of the Royal Thai government was spotted by local media on Wednesday. It read ‘massage of congratulations’ on the page introducing Prayut Chan-o-cha, the current Prime Minister and the head of the junta, and his brief biography.

The ‘massage of congratulation’ contained links to messages of congratulation from H.E. Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, Prime Minister of Bahrain, and messages from leaders of many other countries.
On Thursday, Prachatai found that the misspelling had been corrected.
