Gen Min Aung Hlaing meets Prayuth, Prem; voices his support for NCPO What a Joke, Godfather Prem. Adopting 58 years old Myanmar General. Holding hands again! During a visit to Thailand in 2012, Myanmar Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, 58, asked General Prem, a symbol of Thailand’s royalist-military elites, to adopt him as his son. The 94year-old Thai general, who has no children of his own, agreed. The “adoption” is a godfather-godson relationship. General Prem, when he was chief of the Thai army, knew Senior General Min Aung Hlaing’s late father.
