Report Thailand Cracks Down on E-Cigarette Smokers Amid Health Concerns
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The challenge with vapes is that people don't know what is in them. Kids think it's cool. The government's challenge is tourism if you close sales then you p!ss off tourists. Better to control like they do cigarettes and have quality standards while selling at same location as cigarettes get the street stalls closed -

Economy Currency Concerns and Origin Disputes Stall Thai-US Trade Talks
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The challenge that thailand has is teaching the students how to function in a real world. American companies are not going to be starting new businesses that create anything because of tarriffs and the benefits that TREUMP is giving them to stay. Thais need to start building things for Thais. Solar panels could in fact be one of those things. Suggestion creaste a solar panel systemthat can recharge some of these electic scooters -

Hence THE DONNALD going after these countries with high tarrifs. I agree that factories are closing, but if they want to sell things, they are going to have to build them here. Just replacing made in China with made in Thailand stickers is not going to work. -

Travel Thailand's Chinese Tourism Faces Crisis as Arrivals Plummet
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The challenge that this country has is the same for any country or area that depends on tourism as it's main focus. If there is any downturn in economies it is going to affect them/ China has and is facing it's biggest bust period in a long time. That means that Chinese people are not gong to have the money to go on trips unless it is the ones set up with groups. Group tours may help some small hotels, but they are not going to boost the economy. The government must take a serious look at where things are made and what businesses there are. Imagine if Red Bull actually was made here in a factory. Imagine if Wacoal and other companies stopped producing outside the country. Thailand is in a sense, in the same boat as the U.S. in that most stuff is produced outside and shipped in. Does anyone remember the Chinese elephant pants stink In a sense all countries need to take a page out of the MAGA book and look at how they can make their countries great again. -

Problem is that the EU has its doubts also. Thailand is going to actually have physical factories to show they make it here. This could be good for Thailand's people -

The challenge I think is that most people do not have insurance, and even if they do, they probably don't have earthquake coverage -
Report Thailand Bans Corporal Punishment in Landmark Child Rights Move
kingstonkid replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The challenge is that this is not a school like the U.S. You can not send a child to the Director he/she does not care. he truth is that most Thai parents do not know what to do with their kids and suspending them is the worst hing as the kids stay home and do nothing but play games unsupervised at home. The challenge is that a student, no matter what happens, passes, there is nothing to it. The kids know this. I am not saying that un fettered corporal punishment is a great thing BUT what I am asking is what are the alternative. Remember the only thing most teachers know is corporal punishment and have no idea what to do. You can not send a kid outside the room They don't care. There is no punishment that you can count on. -
Politics Yingluck Advocates Removing Bhumjaithai from Coalition
kingstonkid replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Did you not read what Tony said. His lips may not have moved, but his first puppet said it for him. But on the other hand people should listen to her I think it is a great Idea. Put Prawit in control, do you really think he is giong to be faithful if he shows up PPP and BJT would have over 220 votes in opposition. Not a good place for Thaksin to be, considering that the PTP kicked Prawit out of their last group LOL -

It's great to say give them More. But where does the money come from. Thais are lucky would you like to have the north Carolina bill after losing your house. A solution is to estimate repaircosts for the whole condo and pay condos to repair everyone -

The challenge though becomes what do you do with kids that act up fight or ignore teachers The challenge is that there's no alternative in government or semi government schools I would love to hear your suggestions what to do when somchai or Lisa A tell you to you to f off Fight in classroom Or are disruptive -
There has always been something that ptp lays it's life on and loses could this be it. Unless a company clean as fresh snow comes in this is doomed. They would be better off outlining how they have a major company coming in to set up a theme park. The casino is dead no one trusts Thai politicians to run it properly

There are a lot of places with farmers and old time RED people that think about the old days and what Thaksin did for them. They don't see nor care about what it is doing to the country as long as it is good for them Hence all the talk about helping the farmers. What has to happen is that they need to get rid of the big money leaders both BJT and PTP. Thaksin was more effective as a person that had been done wrong. The leader that got forced to seek exile and was the poor man that wanted to come back but was forced to lead by proxy. With him comeing back that is gone and people have lost faith in the Man. They are also seeing a party that doesnot have a legal leader. The only thing keeping PTP in power is the fear that the Elite have that PPP still have the power and the elite do not have a DEM party or anything that can combat them.

Pheu Thai was great and was a power when there wre just 2 political parties the Dems (royals) the PHeuThai (red not as royalistic and ore intuned withthe hand outs) Once Yingluck got the boot Thaksin had a major problem he just didnot know it. The Dems stayed but diminished, the military brought in the PPRP (rule of law everyone loved the military) and the Pheu Thai that dreated the lamilitary take over by supposedly trying to get Thaksin in throught hte back door. Then the people party or youth and business looked at the MFP and realized that there was something else. A group tht wanted to make amendments that wanted to do away with the status quo. They got voted in and would have been in power but for the sente which was military and elite backed and would not have let anyone in that was anti military. Pheu Thai got in by selling their soul to the devil. They made the deals that they needed denouncing their anti army philosphy and kissing the ring of BJT and Prayut. They thought just by Thaksin coming back they could change the world back to where it was. OOPS Right now the People's party is in control of the next election they re the party to beat. BJT is the second party because they have shown they will stay loyal to the militry adn elite causes Then there is the Pheu Thai that have failed to show any leadership other than Thaksin who legally can not be involved. They elected a PM Sretha who ws good but did not have the shin name. Put in his daughter who has almost no credibility in business let alone in government Yes Tiger Tony is in trouble and he knows it. That is why he is no longer hiding behind daughter it is a bad stte for him.

Cheapest place in Bangkok to buy new phone
kingstonkid replied to kingstonkid's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Thnaks everyone for the advice @johng Pantip plaza was near Platinum mall. Going there was an ex perieicne that a person that had any interest in cmputers had to go to. No matter how old your computer there was soemeone there with parts. If Somchai on the first floor didnot have the software you were looking for then usually a botle of pop and 15 minutes later his brother or cousin or whoever on a diferent floor had it and a copy was burned for you. Plus to top it of it had and A&W that atually madke teh shakes correctly. It was just plain heaven. Now it is restaurants and bars not as inviting. -
