I would like to see a listing of the hospitals and their standings on a price gouging list so people could make a considered choice regarding health care. 

This would be one way of coercing the hospitals into providing a more competitive price structure and not have them prey on the sick and elderly. Whether or not this investigation will report to this extent is an unknown but if they are looking to provide affordable health care and ease the burden on the public health sector it should be done otherwise it’s a pointless exercise.

Does 'deaths' mean died at the scene?

 

How many died on their way to hospital, I wonder?

 

Nevertheless, it is all terribly sad, the carnage here.

You got your post in before mine. 'Great minds' & all that.

 

Ambulances are under instructions to get them outa there before they die. 

It’s gonna co$t.

If everything was above board with the election etc., the Junta boys would not be getting their knickers in a twist now would they????

Nothing to hide nothing to fear 

Since when has a big wig been investigated for wrong doing? More likely a case of threatening their authority

Don't you just love the transparency of the democratic government around here.

They are hardly democratic. Self installed and how it’s going to stay. 

This is not news but common knowledge. With all things health people are prepared to pay a premium and the hospitals know it.

Time will tell

I find the words junta or pro junta quite repugnant and fail to accept they have a legitimate role to play in a democratic election process. 

This simply highlights the role of the Thai armed forces. Not to serve and protect but to control its citizens. This may quickly develop into something quite opposite to what could be deemed a democratic process and hopefully foreign observers react in a manner befitting the junta’s unacceptable behaviour. 

This will get ugly and display to the world just how little this mob deserve any semblance of recognition as a democratically installed government. Let them proceed down this path at their own peril and may the rest of the world condemn their actions but not sure theire are too many with balls enough to say or do anything. 

If there is such a thing as karma them P and his cronies are going to have one hell of a next life. Hopefully cleaning toilets with their tongues and may they live a long unhappy life.

It's only toxic wasteland

Sally take my hand
We'll travel south cross land
Put out the fire
And don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let's get together, before we get much older

toxic wasteland
It's only toxic wasteland
toxic wasteland
Oh yeah, toxic wasteland
They're all wasted!

 

 

I knew the WHO would have to get involved.

We come here largely retired. Our needs and expectations different. Even stating this, if I can resolve the healthcare issue for my wife, we may return as well. Dark clouds forming. Nation has gone nowhere since 2005. Expat life becoming mindlessly pedantic and increasingly expensive.

Perhaps this will have an effect on the THB exchange rate if the big P gets his way. Might be a good time to hang onto those $$$ or £ or € and see what happens. 

Just looking for an up side to this mockery of an election. 

As transparent as a bucket of mud buried under a mountain of bulls**t. Won’t be any clearer than that.

Songkran is the solution to the smoke problem and must go on. All that water being thrown around will be the cure. Hallelujah.

I am old enough to remember when companies (beer, cars shops) had to pay people to advertise their name on shirts etc., Then I remember being on holiday in Spain when a bar owner asked me if I wanted a shirt with the bar's name on it. I was thinking am I going to get paid or free beer for wearing it...or at worst, maybe he was just giving it to me for free. I nearly fell out of my standing when he actually wanted me to Pay for it.

  Ahh! ...the good old days, when people actually demanded to be paid to advertise people's products....now, it's the people who are paying for the privilege of advertising all sorts of pruducts for businesses...especially on trucks now...I see.

  Oh! how the times have changed.

  Fair dues though to those Advertising Agencies who have changed a culture around full circle, from people getting paid to advertise their products...to having the public pay Them...and in doing so....Look Cool.

  When are people going to "cop on"?

Copped on years ago. 

What about football sponsorship and logos?

The EC is not independent.

EC = Electoral Corruption 

Can’t see Prayut letting go of the reins. He’ll let the election results simmer for a while trying his hardest to provoke an air of inreconcilable differences between the parties and then declare martial law and reinstate himself under Section 44. 

Meet the new boss, same (exactly) as the old boss. 

......or perhaps he will just roll over and let everyone scratch his belly. 

Sorry I was off with the fairies. 

Bye bye Thailand.
