Chupup

The exchange rate was really bad here back in the 90's. After the Asian financial crisis all western currencies sky-rocketed and the baht crashed. People who have only experienced thailand after that need some perspective. Now the western economies are in the shit*er so thus is their currencies.

The Thai unemployment rate is under 1% so the economy is strong. We may never see that situation again unless like is was in good old days of 1998 to 2004.

I am glad I am earning baht now.

Plus the strong baht keeps the prices of imported stuff (like oil and gas) and my favorite foodstuffs in check.

Funny, seems to me that everything is going UP, food diesle & imported foodstuff Get Real

Yingluck now , government soon, one can but hope, anyone could run Thailand better than this lot.

He who pays the piper ( the most )will call the tune same as elections all over Thailand IMHO if ptp win it will be a sorry day

My take on this government is that they really do not give a flying fk, they do just what they want because they CAN

Once aqgain the british government are kicking in the balls of the xpat & wife, the short visa at 80 quid is well overpriced as it was at 78 what do they do except give you grief even if you have been to the Uk several times to them we are just a milk cow, what about the price of a renewal for a passport, almost double than in the uk + fees, the economy is a disgrace, but OK if you are NON British and jusat free loading on Brit taxpayers

His mate looks totaly bored

pass the sugar please

As much as i would like to think that this is the ripple that starts the big waves in Puket and Thailand as a whole ....i fear that it will just desolve in the sand on the beach as have so many

before it

was feeling a bit low this morning and needed a bit of a laugh, though chalerm is always good for that, and guess what

HE didn't disapoint

As a poster said before " if he was connected " this wouild not be a problem as it has been done manny times as has been mentioned.

OMG a whole .2 not enough for a coffee at starbucks,

Loads of indians in the UK, loads of indians in Puket loads of indians everywhere, these two just happen to have UK passports

so what, put them in the nick for a good while and DON"T deport them back to the UK ass holes

More diratribe for the masses, i WILL be suprised if anything changes, really just means more ":tea money" for the BIB

Can somebody explain just what " quality" travelers are or is that just more B S talk and <deleted> is the elephant in the room

Having read all the funny quips about the "medicine man " i wonder does he really think that Anyone gives a flying F@#%K

wether he gives or not gives ....................

thugs win again..................nothing new here.....

Not really hard to undercut the tuk tuk prices, at a 200bht pull off that's close to London prices, of course COMPETITION IS JUST NOT ON.

400,000 its a bit of a joke isn't it, wow that's really looking after the people, not !

Good to see some common sense fro a PTP cabinet minister.

A cabinet minister who though having common sense and a good grasp of finance, will no doubt be soon moved to the Back Benches

Pakorn promised that his department would help laid-off workers claim the compensation and benefits to which they were entitled.

I can't wait to hear what those compensation and benefits exist of.

Me to, we are STILL waiting for compensation payments for the last 18 months, my M I L is 70 + and gets 500bht a month, can't see the SSO paying any more than that,

"Article 309 endorsed all actions of the 2006 coup regime".. ^^...The operative phrase here being "The Coup regime"..........any other questions?

But for the PTP, there is a silver lining to this cloud. With the Democrat Party linking itself so closely to defending this "coup regime", certainly positions them accordingly. I'm sure this is not lost on the majority electorate.

Just solidifies the notion, if it needs solidification, that throughout all this political to-and-fro, following the bouncing ball, always suggests that it is the Democrats who are the principle benficiaries of coups. Is it any wonder therefore, they are defending 309 tooth and nail, and trying the Thaksin change-of-conversation trick behind which to hide their true motives....not to me it isn't.

Well it wouldn't of course, as YOU only look at things through your RED coloured glasses

Back on topic Tariit is working on the principal that if you throw enough shit some will eventualy stick, he should realise however that if said shit were to hit the fan then it will be sticking to everyone

Time to wake up People of Thailand, this is just another ploy to get the paymaster back to Thailand and eventualy as PRIME MINISTER if you fall for this you will live to regret it

The bigest joke is that THE BRITISH EMBASSY is one of the BIGGEST SCAMMERS in Thailand, ask ANY British pensioner ( Just What do they do here at the embassy apart from suplying letters or SIGNED forms at EXessive prices )anyone know ??

Pure stupidity, sometime you should remain quiet and let people think you a FOOL than to speak and prove it, a lesson that should be learnt by this government
