well if populations are increasing, china is growing, russia is growing and those Muslim baby machines keep at it....
What do you all expect is going to happen?
Evidently another great flood will be required to rid us of the excess...

I'd wait for a 1,300 breakpoint for a bargain.

Agreed although it seems to be on the up again now... ouch!

just as all Thais assume power... EGO and Face unfortunately blinds their intellects, and this is pretty much across the entire country..
Ive watched the poor become rich and rip into those classes lower than them, just because their social status rose by marrying a foreigner or rich Thai chinese.
And ive witnessed those from higher echelons with higher levels of intellect completely lose themselves in a whirlwind of pride and boastfulness.. 
Honor and dignity is sadly a rarity in Thailand

Well good on them... wish them the best of luck!

The good old USA has had its head in the sand of deserts way to long to look up and do anything constructive...

Well well well, he must have read Taksins autobiography to get that awesome idea of how to raise funds quickly and rid the nation of its drug problems all in one foul swoop!
Made taksin a hero....

if only more temples would do this instead of buying gold stupas...

Okay so its not the right thing to do and they are not technically responsible but hey!

make a song and dance and some things may improve!

Well i never... so which previous government was pushing credit cards for Taxis and all sorts of incentives to spend and become debt laden?

We all saw this coming really... As a nation with zero discipline but big appetites for the latest model phones, cars etc. Give them a piece of plastic and they suddenly become rich!

although now we are in recession because of it...

always sleeping with one eye open... its amazing how quick you can get stuck in the muck and just how quick the Thais will say - Just remember i am Thai and you just Farang - this my country. Roughly translated i can pay peanuts to have you thrown from a high rise condo when you least expect it...

what goes around comes around...

E ciggie bust - LOl thats funny!
So instead of going to Insomia or I bar or Marine disco... they waste tax payers money going after E ciggies and small crapshoot bars...
Well i never....

its a shame really, all of these problems we have put up with for years and years and finally here is someone saying they are going to do something about it. A PM infact that actually cares. never would or did happen in the last 12 years which is why tourism is down and most people never return to thailand after they are scammed one too many times.
Lets hope he does what he says...

Personally i find Pattaya much better now the beaches have been cleaned up, another one of his initiatives that worked. Also not seen so many jet ski mafia around. Is he actually doing something?

Having said that as soon as the new PM comes in i have been told Thailand we go right back to its old corrupt self...

With so many hookers and the hooker mentality (i.e. meet a rich man and i not need to work just watch Thai soap all day and eat somtam and make my husband happy)
Yes its tough to assume that we are not gods gift to women when we get the exotic treatment...
However, i can assure you there are many HOT girls that wouldnt touch a foreigner with a barge pole, just go to Thong lor for a few nights and watch how they shoot you down in flames...

politically incorrect versus the Truth?

funny how the climax raid didnt see any underage drinking or pee testing happen? hmmm i wonder why?

to fair as much as a tool as he is - and full of himself... and taking power without permission blah blah... he is still the lesser EVIL when it comes to the other alternatives... He did try harder than most to stamp out some of the corruption, hell he even tried to clean up the dire soaps and thai trash on TV. he does have some valid points and i dont think he made a boat load of cash doing dodgy deals and abusing his power... ofcourse i could be wrong... but just wait to see whats coming around the corner after the inevitable monarchy shift that cant be that long away now... hold on to your flip flops Thailand!

Thanks everyone for your replies
I have indeed been shown the NEW sized walls and im quite shocked to be honest - infact this is the reply i got...

So am i correct to think that we are actually paying for half of the concrete bricks that separate each unit from the next? 
Its hardly going to be internal walls because i have a studio complex with no internal rooms except the bathroom.

Dear Sir

Yes im also interested in Thai currency ETF
Another good one currently to consider is GOLD ETFs
Currently the SET is down from 2 weeks ago and this could be a good time to buy
Anyone else have any nuggets to share?

its just bewildering on how some Muslim men under the flag of righteous religion suddenly deem themselves as judge jury and executioner. Seems to me they just need an excuse to rape a woman, or an excuse to vent and execute their repressions. Lets face it, deep anger and sexual frustrations come from REPRESSION and CONSERVATISM! Something they have created for themselves and only have Allah to blame for!

Well to be honest! any previous governments this last 12 years would never have the balls to evict a police general... As much as we fault the army for seizing power... they have the balls to do whats right sometimes... any future new political PMS will as usual tip toe around for fear of being disliked!

What an amazing prediction - I predict Prayut will be dead in less than 20 years and the Reds will be back much before that - corruption will be rife as always!

she is wearing Crocs too - Absolutely lethal in the wet season! easy to slip and slide - how did she walk 4km in those?

not looking forwards to any elections to be honest! no good has ever come from them in the last 12 years i can remember

it would so easy to fix the traffic and ive said it many times before...

Get rid of 50% of the taxis... still way enough for everyone, may have to wait 5 mins instead of 10 seconds... so what? you would arrive at your destination faster anyway!
TAXI OVERLOAD = TRAFFIC OVERLOAD

this is the problem with Britain - Political correctness has destroyed the young minds giving them something that we now associate with - Privileges! If they break the law they seem to believe that they should be privelaged just because. they have certain things that should be owed to them.
personally the story is full of holes and its written to garner attention and slag Thailand off like most British media does. He would not have been tossed in jail due to a stained passport - No way! he got thrown in probably due to not paying his overstay or not buying a new Visa...

If you dont stand up and fight - nothing will ever change! doesnt matter if its 300 baht or 300k - i applaud this guy for getting off his butt and doing something! Just imagine the if all the THAIVISA whiners instead of venting to each other on here instead went the same route as him.  Thai watchdog, reporters social media... we may actually see some modicum of change!
