The farmers are only used as a tool for PT government to enrich themselves through massive corruption. Of all the money spend on this scheme, only 18% ends up in the hands of the farmers (when they get paid). I bet she didn't tell CNN that part.

unfortunetly i think exactly the same..poor blind thai people who beleive this government or others before is helping them....what they are doing is making the rich ..richer and the poor ...poorer..thats all! thats where the 6 or 7 % anual growth is.

a total disaster that the next generation will have to pay...! like in venezuela or cuba or russia or ukrain or greece the all country is under coruption affairs and they can not get rid of it ...... it is a virus that the majority of thai is not fighting....they don't see where the problem is...they don't get it.

another thing make me crasy...religion is so important to them.

in the government they are all budhist ...or most of them ....so how can a budhist person actuate like they do....for what do they go to the temple and for what do they pray so seriously ? if they do exactly what budhism tell them not ot do...

well too much thinking is no good anyway ...so good luck to everybody

You are so wrong farang......

Thai electricity not same same farang electricity ....no ploblem

YYYYYYYYYYYYEAR MAN .....COOL MAN.....NOBODDY IS DEAD .......THATS TRUE ....YOU FARANG GET VERY NERVOUS FOR NOTHING...!.

.YOU SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THAILAND IS AMAZING FAST EVERYDAY

BETTER TAKE A BEER INSTEAD OF A SWIM

bla bla bla....again what is the price of a ton ?

thats what thai people should know!

goog day and good night

cheapest for us sometimes...in bangkok a cheap room is most of the time synonyme of bad or very bad.. but..in a country where most people have less than 10 000 baths a mounth can't afford 4000 baths for a room a night.....Only tourist can....!.My wife in ubon ratchathani give a bungalow brand new for 700 baths a night only, wich is very very cheap.http://www.hadkuduaview.com......too cheap but she can not increase the price because the offer is more than the demand ...everyday they build new hotel or resort everywhere.....so they make it cheap to catch a bird....but quality most of the time is not what it should be really.

good day and good night

yes you are right.....and when you are right you have to fight for it.....it doesn't matter if it is thailand or not .....you have to defend your money and your business...enough from people useless making about for everything.......

only one recomendation....don't do the stupid thing to get sick like i did...it is not worth it...stay zen!

good day and good luck

Every guy I have ever known who has left Thailand, had no choice, they left because they were broke.They all professed to hate Thailand or have had enough of Thailand, but when they had the money, they loved it.A friend of mine hated Thailand, hated the Thais.........

Honestly your frecuentations are more than suspect, i 'd rather say not very commendable......perhaps as usual too much alcool.. ...! how can a person hate a whole country and all his people but with money like it ......? it is insane.

A normal person, in my opinion leave a country when she get borred of the climat or of a situation, or she just want to change and see a totally diferent zone.....i did it many times.

good day and good night

Hopefully this is a warning to those thinking of retiring in Thailand. Its a violent place and not as safe as you may think. Needless to say i have personally known at least 10 people who have died unnaturally in this country.

I have lived in Thailand for 14 years have not seen as much as a fist fight since leaving Pattaya over a decade ago, seen more problems in the states on my visits, that to me indicates where the real safety is in rural Thailand away from the Farang ghetto cities that are very violent areas caused by locals, many by drunk Farangs.

May you rest in Peace!

Cheers

i agree with that too....i think thailand is in general safer than europe or america.......only as usual if you want to stay cool,then stay away from funny places where you can get in real trouble..like special privat sex place, money games and all the mafia places, even bars only for thais where there is also woman and lots of alcool.

Having a bar as a farang is also a problem...most thais drink to coma and when they are drunk they are ....perhaps i can not say it in this forum ....well all together they loose then their shireness and become lions and things like with the dutch can happened.

Perhaps he told some felows to go, leave the bar in a bad way and they went to his place to have revenge...anything is posible.

anyway he won't have to show 400 000 baths a year to immigration anymore.

good luck in heaven

ok fine.......now.....at what price ? is it a good business for thailand ?..... ....or is it only a whole sale to make cash money quickly to make some protester shut up......?

the government should give the real price they sell the ton to the chinese instead of giving the amount of money they will get,at the end.... another trick to disguise the truth perhaps ?

good day and good night

If found guilty she could be removed from office and face a five-year ban from politics.

thats why nothing change......they ruin the country and nothing happend to them then !so the story can continue as usual.

poor thais .....when are they going to wake up ?

i wouldn't be surprised that suthep made a funny tonkey negociated arrangement .. ....too! who knows what they combined!

good day and good night

she's willing to die on the democratic battlefield

where is this democratic field? must be a joke.

what about "pseudo democratic"...what ever!

good day and good night

medical tourism inTHAILAND!it is not me who is going to make publicity for them.

personal experience:

Myself i had a very very bad experience, i spend more than 400 000 baths in medical care in thailand last year

i went to all hospital of ubon ratchathani included thai military hospital.

I have been to the bangkok hospital and 3 more famous one.....it has been a big waist of time and money.

they have no idea....they only tell you to do expensive MRI or whatever and at the end..sorry....i had to leave thailand and go back to my country (france) where they find out right away my probleme, i got operated and now i am ok.

i explain the worst of my experience at this address:

http://www.muscleandnerveclinicbangkok.sitew.org

i hope i never get sick in thailand again.....and i am not talking about the government hospital where all thais go...that's even worse.. i went to , so i know..the beds matress are made with coconut shells, all families sleeping on the floor, for the staff it doesn't matter if you have a broken leg or a cancer they scheck your bloud pressure, hart and temperature every 2 hours ...so you can't sleep.it is ridiculous.

it is another desaster, ok it is cheap but it is not worth it....poor thais!

the paying hospital in thailand are made only for business to make money.....lots of bla bla bla, plenty people talking to you , around of you but at the end ...misery.if you have something serious you better go where health is a serious matter, where doctors and professors have knowledges.but not in thailand where most do, like reading the book.

good day and good night

Do not harasse this lovely thaksim family .no no.please.......... ...........just take their money and give it back where it belong... ....to the thai society. ..it is more painfull that way!

good day and good luck

bla bla blab..........if no paper you better don't buy..!

why do you want to complicate what is already complicated...if you want to buy something, why dont you contact me ..i sell my resort

all papers in rder

lol

I want to know what reforms Suthep has in mind?

If they are genuine reforms designed to cut down corruption and government monopoly then I will support it.

But Suthep refuses to divulge the nature of the reforms until after he has taken power!

That is a very dangerous thing to accept and the reason why I cannot support such a movement.

I fear one of the reforms is cutting the voting rights of poor and less educated citizens.

It is a shame but the problem is that you can not really, efficently, freely support anything.....well in your bedroom with your wife perhaps...but i guess you are a farang so you are just allowed to bring money here, spend it where ever in thailand...and please shut the f..k up.....deportation is around the corner in case....of...??? !!!

they don't care about you , me or us and they don't want to ear or read our farang incomprehensible and disturbing funny democratic ideas who are always disturbing this incredible and subliminal thainess.

good day and good night

PDRC core figures such as Suthep Thaugsuban and Sathit Wongnongtoei were reportedly alarmed by the detaining, announcing on stage that guards and protesters must refrain from using violence. Reporters said Mr. Suthep was visibly upset by the development.

should be upset..! and put an end of this kind of kidnaping.

if you can't controll your people how do you want to controll a all country?

good day and good night

Make THE SURVEY again and let everybody from this forum vote freely and you 'll see the real results.!

i tried 3 times to vote but i never could give my opinion during the time the post was on line....... the post was lock !!! no acces to it !!!! as they controll everything, for sure they read that forum and take the one they liked better or did what they wanted.......funny nobody knows...!

it is a big fake..... like some pseudo democracy..........!

good day and good night

Don't use government thai bank .....go to another bank, like foreign bank, even bangkok bank could be ok

now i don't know, perhaps the circumstances have change recently.....it would be good to have more information trough this forum to see what's going on.

first they wanted to arrest him and put him in jail.. ..........now they want to talk with him ?

funny way to do politic ...i am sure if this happen he will negociate his part of the cake and everything will continue as usual....corruption is like a virus..it end only when the body end.....and in thailand nobody is really fighting for these changes....like in many countries ..they all fight for power and money ...but never for their populations well being.

good day and good night

What?

What didn't you understand?

The Courts (at the moment) have deemed the protests lawful and peaceful (whether you agree with that or not) and that the CMPO cannot use force to disperse the protestors nor arrest them under the revised rules of the SoE.

The CMPO were today trying it on again with the arrest warrants and got turned down again because that would violate the recent Court rulings (see above). The CMPO were told however they could proceed with arrest warrants based on the Criminal Code, NOT the SoE.

Got it?

thanks.....!

better to die from heart attack than ignorance......

good day and good luck

wwwwooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwww !!!!

man you need a psycanalist !

next time .....just find another girl....less "puat mua"

This people get what they sow !... ...I only hope that bangkok is not going to be another kiev like in ukraine .The day they catch the president there, i wouldn't like to be in his suit.....in thailand, some thais are really fedup, the PM should think more deeply why they are....not smiling as usual !

A STRATEGIC RETREAT IS A LOT BETTER THAN A BIG DEFEAT

GOOD DAY AND GOOD NIGHT

Enjoy our flight home Take care now and all the best to you

Happy to see that the vindictive persecution and misery of a man who exercised his right to freedom of speech and spoke out for the country he considers his own is giving you such pleasure.

Find a mirror.

This excellent comment should also be read by those haters of the Shiniwatra's..............

"Happy to see that the vindictive persecution and misery of a man/woman who exercised his/her right to freedom of speech and spoke out for the country he/her considers his/her own is giving you such pleasure"

i agree...it is just disgusting.

This article first appeared in The Financial Times.

When ? I'm a subscriber to the FT and havn't seen that article there.

Our country has tremendous potential. With our unique history in Southeast Asia as being a country that was never colonised, we have undergone a revolution of development, teetering on the edge of being a "developed market". The second largest economy in Asean after Indonesia and geographically at the centre of continental Asean, we have much to gain from the establishment of the Asean economic community next year.

Modesty would be a good start Mark .... interesting that hes citing much to gain from rather than much to give the Asean economic community as a partner.Teetering on the edge is a good description of where the country is at the moment though, but its on the edge of stability rather than a developed market right now.

We have an educated, professional workforce. Our country is a hub for automotive manufacturing, technology, services, leisure and the creative industries. It is an agricultural tour de force. Behind our famous Thai smile, there is a strong sense of national pride, a determination to succeed, a passion to preserve what we call "Thai-ness", and the will and ability to continue to grow, develop and perform, both nationally and globally

Such a hub of everything here wow,the passion of preserving Thai-ness part is interesting, just what could that mean i wonder ?

i agree with that ..how do we know this is from the journal it says? where is the link?

second...for an educated, professional workforce....well in my opinion it is not enough , they need ingeneers and.thats exeactly what thailand hasn't got a lot........without the farang ingeneers every where, i would like to know how they could have made the new motor way, the new airport, the underground , etc etc ...

to resume a lot of proud ...perhaps ....but a very litle bit of "savoir faire" that's for sure

my note is :

could do better

This bloke is really sharp. The whole world knew it was a bogus deal.

yes, but lying to poor farmer is easier........until they find out.the trick.

the grave is getting larger and larger everyday

sin sot......well..........Up to you ...man.!

I was astonished , the first time when i heard this thing from my girlfriend,......my self i refuse strait away to pay what ever to the parents, as a foreigner i have also my way to be..and i was the one who had to pay ...so ..thats it!..and i was helping other ways anyway (well a very little bit, not much..that way they dont get used to it).....so my wife tell her parents before getting married what i told her (no) and they said that was not a problem.she could do what ever she wanted to do with me.

so the story was finished then! thats why i love that people.....they are really good thai people.......but that is my family.....!

Others are moved by the sound of gold falling only......remember that you are going to marry your wife ....and also her entire family (with all their tribulation too), if there is a probleme she will stay with her family ...not with you...99,99%..i bet !

thailand is allready a complicated place to live......you better make sure with who you are going to spend the next 50 years..don't invest...dont buy a house...rent it for a few years instead to see whats going on ..and to have time to know who is who around.

good luck and good day
