  1. Sorry, 2 kids on motorcycles racing in the rain.....not at all tragic in my book.
  2. Sorry not impressed with this fellow. Maybe with some time he'll wise up and do something, but the way he boasts leads me to think he'll be boasting about imaginary irrelevant successes; and the Ruch will get richer and the poor will get still poorer. Boasting about meeting people: meeting a contact is the first step of a thousand step dance to a deal. He's congratulating himself like the deal was signed already.
  3. He's right you know. Viva Vivek
  4. I disagree, humbly. The best way to get nothing done is Thailand is to form a committee.
  5. For the few hundred baht in extra income which you spend in bank fees transferring it over here, and the general hassle of doing anything in the UK from Thailand, I simply don't see any value in banking in the UK.
  6. This country needs an annual inspection like Britain's MOT. I ask sick of sharing roads with old pick ups and lorries belching out black smoke, looking like they have never ever been washed and with faulty brakes.
  7. I made the mistake of changing from a Honda Click 125 up to the 160. My wife can no longer drive the bike because it is too heavy for her to handle. I can drive it, but find it a strain. What I cannot get used to is the initial very rapid acceleration which I think is dangerous. The one click did us for 125000 kms over 15 years. The new one is 6 months old and has about 1000km on the clock because it is so unpleasant to drive.
  8. It needs to be at least 10% to raise the value of the baht, kill off inflation and ensure that only quality business ideas are funded. Really how many thousand cannabis shops, empty of customers, are there? Thousands upon thousands. Same with coffee shops, we must have 100 in our town with hardly anyone in them. Low interest rates are not good for growth because the encourage lending to people poor quality ideas like cannabis shops and coffee shops. This is misallocation of capital and therefore people with better ideas are squeezed out of the lending market by zombie businesses.
  9. I have never done, nor can I imagine why one would want to. It sounds as though it could be used for criminal purposes, not that the OP would ever think of that. But I don't understand his reasoning. What would be the purpose of transferring funds between accounts in the same institution both of which you own.
  10. Why on earth can't foreigners obey the immigration rules? I obey them but why does every Tom, Dick and Harry think he doesn't have to a) have the money in the bank for a visa, b) is able to work without a visa and c) can do jobs reserved for Thais. When they caught caught they are full of self pity. Opening Go Fund Me pages and the like. Well my attitude is screw them, obey the rules or go home. You seem to think you are colonists from the 19th Century.
  11. Reform of the police cannot come from within the police force. It has to be imposed from outside by civilians and should report to an independent board of elected civilians.
  12. Good for you Big Joke, fight back and hurt the idiots. A criminal defamation lawsuit is needed.
  13. Why not give it to Thai Airlines and let them pee it all away?
  14. Sounds good to me. No doubt if they are ever found guilty, after being out on bail during endless appeals, the penalty will be that they will be transferred.
  15. I don't trust Thai Airways. I haven't flown on them for many years now and don't intend to ever again. I wonder about their maintenance programs and whether they are rigorous. At my time of life, each is precious and I worry that a perennially close to bankrupt airline, will maintain their planes meticulously.
  16. 10% down....I'll have some of that. Thank you mr Srettha, it's not true what they say about you.
  17. Now nobody can complain about this, can they?
  18. Goos news, but how can the farmers borrow for next season's planting? Seeds, diesel, fertiliser, pesticide....these things don't come free? What fund? What Financial Discipline Act? It seems misnamed.
  19. Probably a better reason than having a criminal lust for power like the current demented president.
  20. Yeah Panipack....well done, very well done. On top of the world.
  21. Well here's me thinking a horizon is a horizon is a horizon......but apparently no, there's a new horizon now. Maybe the horizon has moved further away that it used to be, or nearer than it used to be, or maybe it is on an angle now. Maybe it is me, but seriously what is this BS? It's a nonsense wrapping in a stupidity covered up with meaningless buzz words. If this is really the plan what hope is there? In my day, plans had actions clearly defined and metrics to measure them. Critical actions had peoples' names next to them to denote who was responsible for completing the action with a d ate by which they had to be completed. eg 'Household debt is too high and should be brought down'. Without saying how it is to be brought down, by whom and to what level and how it will be measured, this clown will be saying the same thing next year. Incompetence on a grand scale.
  22. Good job it's only a tiny amount.....a single tanker could probably take it and sell it to lucky people in Saraburi. My wife's aunt does this as a sideline, behind he house is a large metal container filled with diesel that she sells to her neighbours and friends. Been doing it for years.
  23. Look if you set up a country based totally on corruption, you get Thailand. All the power players are rich through corruption and why would they change the system? Show me a rich man in Thailand and I'll show you a corrupt criminal.
  24. I'm not sure this is anything to be proud of.
