This scheme/ giveaway is expected to cost the Government 1 Trillion Baht in total

Add that to the 10K Digital Wallet giveaway, and you have right there about roughly 45 % of GDP

Surely this kind of spending is going to hurt somewhen

Put a spin on that TAT?

They wo;; just say their Aircraft are in for routine service

Because English is the premier and preferred language across the Globe for conducting Business, and  also many digital tools for enhancing Business and making it more efficient and profitable are also in English, IMHO this is the prime reason Thailand is loosing its share of the Global Market

Things are not going to improve any time soon as long as Dinosaurs at the top make such comments as " Thai will be the premier language spoken all over the World "

I really dont know if Thailand are legally able to Tax a Pension from a Foreign Country

Any, and all recipients of pensions while living abroad as an Expat, will legally be registered for that Pension, and any Taxation Liabilities with their Native Home Country

As an Expat, we are "guests " in Thailand ( often referred too as an Alien ) under the provision of Various forms of Visa issuance, something the Authorities are all too fond of stating.

As Expats we do not have Thai Citizenship

Are classed as non Residents

Have no Thai ID number, and therefore cannot be registered as any kind of Tax paying person

Any attempt to make an Expat pay Tax will be tantamount to theft, and any Human Rights Lawyer will have a fiekd Day

All Governments are notoriously slow in parting with any Money

Buying or leasing?

Most Aircraft Globally are Leased from a few specialist Leasing Companies

Thai will neither have a priority over delivery of those Aircraft, or have favorable rates of Leasing on terms of Money

Let all hope for a for good outcome for these Hostages, and they are returned Home safely

Do we already have 4.0, or was I taking a nap when that happened

According to report in a Newspaper Yesterday, there is a video that clearly shows the opposite

If Lurch and his Govt cannot communicate such a simple thing as this correctly, how are they going to communicate to Investors that Thailand is the place to be

First of all, a water supply has to go to a Tap

Many Thousands have to rely upon well water as they have no reliable water supply

I suppose by asking the Nightlife Venues to Breathalyze their Patrons, and the Chinese Police to assist them in Po;licing Duties, it will free up more time for the Plod to engage in their real activities

The purpose of the police inspection was to build confidence, safety, and peace of mind for foreign tourists on Walking Street.

It would certainly make me feel secure to witness all these Police looking after me 

NOT !!!!

Quick to name a Farang

But a Thai ????

I can smell something iffy.

Thai certainly have a very high opinion of themselves for a bankrupt Company

They even told Rolls Royce they dont like their pricing any more

Borrowing to fund the 10K Wallet scheme, is probably something that the Money, Stock, and Investment Markets Globally did not want to hear.

Does Thailand have a " Worthy Farm "

Wont this just increase inflation? 

Yrs !

And a certain large retailers profits

For many, the only Tax System registered Business's in the district are for 7/11 Tescossss and Big / Minu C 

Why make people use a phone App, when its just so much simpler to just hand over most of the allotted Money to one certain huge retailer
