Yes in Thailand, you can't have a week constitution to live here.

What many dont seem to understand is that corruption is built into the the system from the start.  Years ago my wife worked as a teachers' assistant.  During her interview for the job the director told her what her salary would be and also told her she would get an extra 1000 baht for travel and meals.  When she collected her salary it was correct but the extra 1000 was not in the envelope.  Upon questioning this she was informed that it is normally paid to the classroom teacher each month and the classroom teacher would then pass it on to the assistants??  However when she received her envelope from the teacher it only contained 300 baht, same as the other assistants who told her to keep quiet or she would be looking for another job.

 

If corruption is not structured into the system then why not pay it direct with her salary?

 

Funny that the going split is 700/300 and not 600/400. That really shows the epitome of Thai culture.

They keep bringing up the Erawan Shrine bombing as one of, if not the, prime reason for knowing foreigners whereabouts. Yeah, great idea, like a terrorist flies in Thailand to carry out a planned bomb attack and he/she is going to report all their movements to immigration. 

Fly in. 20,000 baht will get any bomber across a land border.

The thing that I ask is not only: How did he get found out, but also, WHY did he get found out.

If this "investiagtion" was across the board at NACC, they must have found loads more in the same boat.

 

My guess is that he peed someone off and they dobbed him in.

 

 

Yea, it must have been a joke about inbreeding or something like that.

Over 300 million in undeclared assets that they found out - so like half a billion or a billion in total?

 

Why not call it a day and enjoy life of the money you stole from mostly poor, hardworking people?

 

It's not enough? What's the end goal?

 

He could invest it in an ETF and live forever in the luxury hotels in Maledives, eat kobu steaks in New York etc.

Tourism is 20% of Thailand's GDP.  Most is industry.  

It's main income is corruption money. That's what keeps the machine well oiled.

A Thai doctor friend of mine, super smart, as a rule, super nice, unless talking about Red Shirts, Thaksin or Thanathorn. Barely a sentence escapes his lips that does not describe the followers of these people as low bred animals and congenital idiots. It's a major chasm and not just in Thailand. You see it everywhere where some segment of the population prospers and the rest is left behind.

Hey little kiddies, can you spell Indoctrination. It happens when the 1% control the education system.

The dentists said that this incident was not the first time a dental tool had been left in a patient's mouth and it could have happened because the instrument was very small. 

 

Yes it's well reported that thai tools are on the small side. 

 

This doesn't surprise me..

 

Reminds me of the woman who said "I would rather have a baby than dental work "

 

The dentist said. 

"Make up your mind before I adjust the chair".

Or, "with a general anesthetic you can have both".

I'm hoping the Western countries are waiting to see what happens, and if Prayut is put back into power because of this rigged system, that they will immediately sanction him and his minions. Hopefully shutting off any further communication until such time as a democratic election is held and the coup/junta leaders removed.

Dream on!

Probably the end of the Dem Party, they more than likely just put the nail in their own coffin, next election will be more devastating for them than they could possibly imagine. You would think they would have got a wake-up call from this past election, obviously they are tone deaf.

Isn't Thailand already opened to chinese migration for more than 200 years?

CP Group is sino-thai, the Three Giants in the banking system is ruled by sino-thai dinasties, Shinawatras, Should I continue with the?

Thai Chinese are the largest minority group in Thailand and the largest overseas Chinese community in the world with a population of approximately 10 million people, accounting for 14% of the total population of the country. 

ethnic group and are well represented in all levels of Thai society. They play a leading role in Thailand's business sector and dominate the Thai economy today. In addition, Thai Chinese have a strong presence in Thailand's political scene with most of Thailand's former Prime Ministers and the majority of parliament having at least some Chinese ancestry.^[Thais of Chinese descent are also well represented among Thailand's military and royalist elite.

 

About modern China, yes I'm terribly worried about it as chinese speaker, but the Commonwealth do it for 4 decades. Moreover, exist The right of a people to self-determination, (of course when people choose) a thing that we forgot thanks to the U.S. foreign policy.

a better question, maybe.  who knows?
 

are we ready for a USA implosion?  as in that it is budget deficits, and tax cuts, that are responsible for the USA's trade deficit in spite of the wonderful "miracle" of shale gas and that the USA exports fossil fuels again, as well as airplanes that emit 285 grams of carbon per passenger kilometer traveled... along with Treasury debt once again now that The Fed isn't buying it up. 

 

trade deficits are caused by deficit spending.  not "cheap products" made in China by poorly paid workers that can be "solved" by making Americans pay an import tariff, that Trumper says "the Chinese are paying".  which is as much a bunch of nonsense as that simple physics is a "Chinese Hoax".  as for trains, they come in at 14 grams per passenger kilometer.  and are something China is an expert on, along with..... apparently..... 5G telecom equipment.       

 

China deserves to win not just this new "war".... we love "wars" on this and that in Amerikee.... but China is going to end up looking quite good I think.  And I am as American as apple pie.  100% for sure.  you can't take away where I was born.  cause I already was. 

That just sounded like a bowl of slurping noodles.

Since 1997, exchange rates for the THB has been set by market forces. Seems the rest of the world thinks that Thailand with its high current account balance is doing fine. Meanwhile the US is looking at that balance to see if Thailand is practising currency manipulation - keeping the Baht artificially low.

Your probably smarter than me. So why are Thai exports hurting so bad.

I thought all the economic issues would go away by forcing old gits to tie up 800,000 baht for 5 months in Thai banks every year and then force these pensioners to buy unnecessary Health Insurance from Thai Companies?

Old gits just disappear into the Thai jungle. You do what you have to do.

And still the Thai People go on taking it all.

I can see virtually no hope for liberty, justice and democracy in Thailand now.

The Thai People are not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to take their country back. For five long years, they (in their millions) have said and done NOTHING as the prison walls were built, stone by stone, brick by brick, bar by bar, all around them. And still they DO nothing. So be it.

 

It's up to them. There's an apt old English saying (if I might be permitted to mix my metaphors): 'Let them stew in their own juice!'

 

The previously planned indocranation of the Thai Populace is currently coming to fruition. Democratic zombies with smart phones.
