McDonald's is cheaper in Hong Kong than in Thailand? That's so thai if you think about it. Hong Kong is one of the most expensive places in the world and they still manage to control the prices. Thailand is a country that struggles to make progress but the prices are constantly raised just to make sure everybody has a good laugh at the incompetence here.

Anything you could possibly think of. As people mostly buy things that they dont even need, the question is not what would they buy but rather if my head was empty, what would I buy?
Then you have an endless list and everything that is on that list is going to be needed by most people. So find the cheapest source to get them and sell it to them.

I am back in Chiang Mai and going to stay for a while.
I enjoy going out and socializing. I know there are a lot of cool people on TV who are long term residents here and I am looking to meet those that are open to it.
I feel my age, I no longer have appetite for 3-4 different girls a day. I also had to cut back my daily calorie intake to 3500 and train only 5 days a week. I am no longer interested in very long bike rides, this heat gets to you goddammit. Nothing really makes me mad, I am calm and cool by nature. I am interested in all kinds of things..big bikes, cars, hot chicks, economy, business, investments, politics, spiritual stuff, bodybuilding, swimming, night clubs, riding(hitting the red line in 6th gear still gives me chills), eating, books, music, shopping, history, etc..
Ah and I just turned 28 but don't let if offend you.
PM me if interested in going out, riding, talking, doing some cool stuff or anything.

The problem in my opinion is that even though people want to change it, the opposition is a bit strong. There are the average people who suffer from it so they want to change it. Against them, there are those with all the money and all the power that makes it possible to call the shots. So at the end, who is going to win?

Continue learning about it online. And when you have the opportunity to come here, then you will have the chance to go to different temples and talk to monks almost any time of the day. You can ask anything and they will do their best to answer and help you to gain knowledge and experience it first hand.

I disagree with the negativity of the posts here thus far.
Firstly I like to know who we are dealing with:
He attended Thammasat University for two years before winning a scholarship from Claremont Mens College, Claremont, California, to complete his B.A. in Political Science (cum laude) in 1972. He then went on to Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A., where he received his M.A. and Ph.D. in 1974 and 1982 respectively, in the field of Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies.
He is a western educated Democrat and could well be posturing for a place in future government. After 5 years as the ASEAN Sec Gen I could not think of a more able candidate to lead this country from the current quagmire. He also has the credentials to broker tangible agreements for the southern provinces.
There is no easy fix, and it will take time, but those of us who are living here for the rest of our lives will no doubt draw comfort in the knowledge that Thailand does have well qualified and highly respected politicians ready to step into the breech.
Well said.
As to more jails, this will not be necessary. The best way to punish corrupt rich people is by taking their money.
However, I am skeptical that anything will change. It will have to get worse before it gets better.
I agree with both of you. He is an educated, experienced and smart man who knows what he talks about but his good intentions are against the fact that the system is corrupt and it is maintained by powerful people who insist to keep it that way.
