Thait Spot

Don't worry!

No matter what happens, 2013 will be a new record year for tourism in Thailand, with about 27 million visitors...or even more!

Wanna bet?

I'm sure the minister is including migratory flocks of birds in his figures.

Yingluck: 2006 Military Coup Makes Country Lose Opportunities; Thus Amendment Needed

I think this is one of those cases where Yingluck thinks that if they say the coup didn't happen, everyone will believe them and there opportunities will come flooding back.

Thanks in wants to return the country exactly where it was in 2006

I don't believe any changes to the constitution will benefit the populous. The only people that will benefit are the Shinawatra inner circle of nefariousness.

Well isn't this interesting. Yesterday those of you that commented were reasonable and rational. Today after reading one inoffensive talk by the PM you are back with your bad language and insults. God know's how long it is going to take for you guy's to realize that it is you that are the problem. You and Khun Abhisit. One illegal coups d'tete and you are so sure that you have Thailand by the throat. Thailand has a legitimate government that has an impressive and strong mandate. The Thai PM rules with the authority and dignity of the Monarchy. The current orderly conduct of government is something that you Democrat's don't seem to know anything about. It is this orderliness that is responsible for Thaland's gradual return to the World Stage with dignity.

Your visions are as strong as your French.

"Available measures now guarantee access to capital loans, training for higher labour efficiency, and lower corporate income taxes."

So increase the dept load on the business then train the staff for better efficiency so they can let some of them go and lower corporate income taxes.

Now the way I read that is lower taxes to increase the government debt load and spend it on ways to create unemployment. And the small business man will get dick all.

Your wasting your breath. Everything is going fine. There will not be millions of unemployed. There will be a domestic pay-back for manufacturers and retailers from the economy. The payback will come from the systemic acceleration of the Thai economy that will result from government policies and actions to date.

Does that come with a cast iron guarantee or just a puff of wind from you?

Is it truly worth dying over a piece of land that nobody really cared about 10 years ago?

Demonstrate, protest, discuss and argue all you want if it makes your life more meaningful, but frankly wanting to die for the PAD's causes shows lack of insight into why people are born in the first place.

They should settle it the honourable way - a game of football between the parliaments. Winner takes all

One thing sticks out like a sore thumb in all these threads involving the PAD and that's the complete lack of support from the expats.

The red underpants brigade on must surely be wrong

The neofascists of the PAD will always reject any ruling from an international bodies. This PAD scum think that they can do as they please trample on the rights of others and of other countries as they are all suffering from narcism. Do with them what these thugs did not the democracy in Thailand. Sharpshooters on the roof and life firing zones in the areas where they protest and use the silly Zeppelin from Anupong.

I believe the minister concerned has suggested not accepting the verdict.

Stock of answers:

- I have to look into it

- my government will look into it

- give us some time

- we are accountable in a transparent manner

- in general one may say bla-bla-blablala

- could you repeat your question, please

- this is Dept. PM Pol. Captain Chalerm, he will elaborate on my answer

- now please excuse me, back to the business at hand

Thanks Rubl, every answer perfectly valid in the correct circumstance

And last, but certainly not least, when running out of answers

Wrong Rubl......a pure fabrication......a rather disappointing indication of your misleading imaginative posting........ Yingluck has never used the hand held sign favoured by Thaksin or you would have produced the photograph that would have undoubtedly hit the headlines........perhaps she carries the skill to learn from his mistakes

When the questions get tough, Yingluck gets going.

"If I remember correctly the land is useless. As well as be very small."

Small yes, I believe that's around 8 or 9 football pitches.... but plenty of room for a nice casino complex.

How many of these deaths occurred since Thaksin's days?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Thaivisa Connect App

The new wave of violence started under Thaksin's first administration but notably worsened under the military Junta and the Democrats.

Not my understanding. The junta attempted to deal with the insurgents and the dems took a softer line. Violence picked again after Yingluck

My wife told me about this yesterday. They've replaced the (very popular) soap about evil and corrupt politicians with a 'narak' soft and cuddly love story. She can't believe that the govt could be so insecure as to pull this off the air.

In my eyes it's an admittance of guilt, they're saying "This is us, this is who we are!"

The truth hurts.

I think Thida's is right because it fair for people to vote before changing the raw and people will know about the raw.

Are you saying the people should vote in a referendum or that the government of the day can change the constitution if it so wants?

"Giving shelter to a wanted man is a legal offence," he said.

I'm no Susan Raffo but I think there is something wrong in this sentence!

Haha! If the journalist means 'criminal offence' then the entire government is culpable.

and five of the 6 will be playing games on their smart phones or texting. I will never understand Thai employers.

A lot of these excess employees are members of the family that owns the small business. Better than having them laying around the house doing the same thing, watching tv or sleeping. It's similar to Laos - Vientiane anyway.

Tesco, big c, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc... Must have really really big families

Home pro is unbelievable.

Hundreds of the buggers either chatting in a huddle or waiting to pounce and when you ask them a question they don't know the answer.

That said they are happy and try to be helpful
