It's called jobs and all Thais can relate to having one or not.

Actually there are many Thai's who would rather sit around doing jack than work for a living. I arranged transport, advance payment, rooms, clothing and jobs for 8 fit young strong "Ayutthayans". They worked monday, tuesday took they day off, wednesday worked half day and then disappeared.... back to Ayutthaya I think.

I don't know abut these eight individuals, but I was talking about long-term jobs.

So was I talking about long term jobs.

How about the Issan workers I got from Libya, these guys or their relatives paid Bt120,000 to an agency to work there for Bt16,000/month.

When the poo hit the fan and it went tits up, they were shipped back to Thailand by the Thai navy. In their time of need, I gave 15 of them housing, clothing, advance payment, transport to and from work, wages of Bt12,000 + OT only to see them leave after a month..... <deleted>, Maybe I paid them too much.

Foreigners will lose their confidence in us due to our failure to protect our capital city," she said in hoarse voice.

So from that remark it would seem as if the welfare of the locals is of no importance compared to what, "foreigners" may think or see what is happening ?

Meanwhile, Transport Minister Sukampol Suwannathat said yesterday that there would be no excavation of roads in eastern Bangkok, as had been proposed by a group of engineers as a way to help with the movement of flood water into the sea.

The transport minister also said there was no need to cut through Bang Na-Trat Road and the Motorway, which links Bangkok and the eastern seaboard provinces, as had been suggested by some experts

Well, I'm sure Mr Transport Minister is far more qualified at making these decisions than the team of engineers Toyota Motor Company graciously put on the task, that came up with those solutions.

I'd like to see Mr Transport Minister's qualifications/experience, any chance of posting a brief summary?

Jerry555, please get a grip, obviously you don't know the first thing about fluid dynamics, shallow rivers don't flood deeper than deep ones as water will always try to find the lowest level possible, shallow rivers just run faster.

you dun got that wrong
