Accident Steel Structure Collapses in Bangkok, 13 Workers Injured
JimHuaHin replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Who manufactured the steel? -
Sadly not always the case. There is a block, about 25 rai in area, behind where I live which was filled up to a depth of about 2.5-3 metres in places over a 6 month period. No compacting!!! Construction of the first house started about 3-4 months after filling completed.

Sadly, not uncommon. Heard many similar stories and see many buildings in need of urgent repairs at small government health centres and hospitals over the years. But, alas, the military gets all its wants (almost), illegals continue to flood into Thailand, and graft and corruption reign supreme in the government bureaucracy.

Cambodia Moves to Strip Citizenship from 'Disloyal' Nationals
JimHuaHin replied to geovalin's topic in Cambodia News
Will Thailand be following shortly? -
I cannot give you an accurate answer, but maybe this may help a little. About 8 years ago I "helped" my now ex-gf buy 2 rai of flat land just outside of Pran Buri, Prachuap Khiri Khan. About one-quarter of the land area consisted of a very large pond that was about 5 metres deep. My ex obtained some quotations on filling in the pond - for memory the quotations were in the range of Baht 300,000 - 400,000, which seemed rather expensive to me. I hope someone can give you a more reliable estimate.

Just shows how dependent Thailand is on foreign workers (doing the work that Thais refuse to do).

Health Thailand Urges Action as HIV Cases Exceed 500,000
JimHuaHin replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
The best public health education programmes are not going to work if people refuse to listen and learn (because they think it will never happen to them; that they are invincible). The best public health education programmes are not going to work if people believe that there is not problem, that it is a fake information conspiracy. In an age of Robert Kennedy Jrs and anti-vaxxers, diseases like HIV (and mumps) will continue to spread (just look at the "great" USA). -

I believe that the Thai Red Cross is the main source of these medications, but my knowledge could be out-of-date. -
Tourism Chaos Erupts: Hotels Back Out of Thai Government Tourism Scheme
JimHuaHin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
First requirement - competent IT people with appropriate, yes appropriate, training and skills. Second requirement - competent IT people with appropriate, yes appropriate, training and skills. Third requirement - competent IT people with appropriate, yes appropriate, training and skills. Thailand does not have many of these people, because Thailand does not train enough people. -
Report Thailand's Military Aims for Reform Amid Political Unrest
JimHuaHin replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thai military reform? It has to start at the top of the military. Many young Thais I know in the military are hoping for major reforms; others have given up waiting and have left the Thai military. -

Will you be using Trumps new line of perfumes for men?
JimHuaHin replied to MalcolmB's topic in Political Soapbox
My guess is that it will leave orange stains on skin and clothes. -
As long as the super rich continue to get rich the system will not change. A few technological changes and innovations here are there maybe, but otherwise the olde corruption and patronage systems will stay in place to the benefit of the 0.1% and the detriment of the country and most Thai citizens. Why are the "big" boys and girls pushing AI? Less need for workers!!!

Looks good .... one hopes the Baht follows soon.

Politics Paetongtarn in Turmoil: Thai PM's Popularity Nosedives in Poll
JimHuaHin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Time for another coup - the party of the Thai people is more popular than the corrupt establishment. -
As is often the case, Trump does not understand what he is saying, ie he uses words he does not understand the meaning of. The recent Australian election was interesting - 6 months before the election, the conservatives looked like they would easily regain government. This did not change after Trump was re-elected. But, after he was sworn in and the leader of the Australian conservatives proposed to follow Trump, .... the conservatives popularity rapidly declined. End result a massive victory for the progressives. Which sane democracy wants to elect their version of Trump?
