Thailand will deal with foreign skilled worker competition the way it always has, protectionism. For instance, it has barred foreigners from practicing law by requiring lawyers to be Thai nationals. It will do the same with doctors, accountants and any other trade or profession where they can impose a certification requirement.

No they won't.
It will all be an ASEAN common agreement, and when you sign up, you sign up for the lot or nothing at all.
Thailand can't sign and then cherry pick what it is going to allow and not allow.

The Thai authorities may want to double check this with the Myanmar navy.
This story just doesn't seem to stack up right or make any sense.
What was a tug doing there?... Do they usually take a tug with them when poaching in others' waters, and why??
It's a very strange story... I don't believe it.
"...the Thai crew's fishing boat was assisted out to sea by an accompanying tug boat."
Yes, I read that. Still doesn't make any sense to go out in a prevailing storm with 20 souls on board if your boat isn't capable of moving under its own steam.
Also, the Myanmar navy are hardly likely to break international maritime protocol in such a horrendous way and face massive international condemnation and fury had the 20 fishermen perished. It takes a huge stretch of the imagination to conjure up such an image for navy personnel to do this and face possibly grave consequences from their superiors and probably prison for mass murder to boot to appease the international community.
Very very bad for diplomatic relations between two ASEAN countries during peacetime who seem to be quite pally between their respective juntas.
They are all alive, and so it is a case of 'they were allowed to swim ashore', had they drowned it would have been a case of 'they were thrown overboard to perish in the Andaman Sea'.
Not saying it is not possible, just highly suspect and unlikely that anyone would be willing to give the command to murder 20 people.
Secondly, having been here for a while I have noticed that a hell of a high proportion of Thais don't even swim, even fishermen. So for 20 to go into the water in a storm and not a single one was lost or got into difficulties seems highly unlikely also.
Here is a much more credible version, purely my own opinion of something much more believable.
Thai fishermen steal a fishing vessel and tug boat from their rich owners and sell to someone from Myanmar, after handing both craft to the buyers, were then transferred to a waiting second Thai fishing boat for a safe trip home with a cock and bull story of piracy on the high seas to satisfy the boat owning company bosses.
Now that I believe.

All these self-pronounced hub achievements are becoming excruciating to read, like every nation outside Thailand are useless wastes of space and Thailand is god's own nirvana for everything on the planet.
It is really embarrassing.

Unfortunately no matter what happens to Thailand, it won't stop anything.
Where they lock people up, it just creates a gap for someone else to fill, and these people don't give a monkey;s chuff about what happens to Thailand and trade bans etc.,..... The want the money, that's all.

Owners losing out should be allowed to sue those who sold them the land for their money back and asset seizure if necessary to pay for it.
Wonder how many were paying tax?

Yet another waste of money... It won't work.
Drug education doesn't sink in, and they already know all the cons of using drugs, they don't care... They have an attitude, it's my body I will do what I want with it.

Unfortunately they will never stamp it out. The more they arrest, the more they curb the trade and the higher the value becomes, and that just fuels the desire to do it even more.
It is a catch 22.

The net is closing in on the lot of them and the more they nab, then the more there are to spill their guts and name others.
Eventually they will move up the chain of command and hopefully have the UDD/PTP/CAPO in the dock for sponsoring it.
I will get some flak from the reds now
Wonder how many will claim this is all fake propaganda from the Junta?
They seem to think that the very same media who have been demanding press freedom and allowed to report facts are all too happy to help disseminate false propaganda for the aforementioned.....

Doing a great job.
Things will speed up once there is a government in place to take some of the workload.
We need the NCPO there to mediate between what is good and bad for the future, while politicians will certainly argue and slow progress the NCPO can then step in and make the decision.

Well, he has a 50/50 chance of being right, and if he is, Thai people will be lining up to offer him things to make merit so they can win the lottery.
Judging the difference between Germany and Argentina this week i would say he had a 20/80 chance of being right.

Without a clear definition of terms, this seems nothing more than an attempt to micromanage political parties. In addition, what may be considered populist policies could be introduced in Parliament (if there is another one) without them ever having been mentioned in the platform of a political party or during the course of a person's campaign for office. What happens then? The junta has already responded to economic issues for rubber farmers in the south and for other farmers in Rayong and Chantaburi and provided subsidies and relief. These may be labeled populist policies but they're ok in my book. Policies that respond to natural disasters or force majeures could also be regarded as populist. Remember the coupons doled out to flood victims a few years ago? I can't speak for other countries but in in the US, bills that require government expenditures are required to be submitted to the Government Accounting Office for an estimate of funding that will be required, etc. These are estimates and the assumptions may change over time due to changing economic conditions but it does provide for a modicum of transparency. The way things are shaping up, Parliament will not have much in in the way of acting on any legislation and MPs will not have much power much at all.
Junta left, junta right, but we have NACC and EC here.
Of course anything between black and white is difficult, but a certain level of screening, or requirement to have a rather sound financing plan (even with planned deficits) seems a better alternative than having a party doing vote buying through irresponsible and impossible 'election' promises and using a parliamentary majority to push through those self-serving policies ignoring or even obstructing the opposition in doing it's appointed job.
A recent example would be the 700++ billion 'mislayed' in 2-1/2 years in only the RPPS, with farmers still poor. Allegedly that is, the poor farmers that is.
What if a party's platform just says they will provide subsidies to farmers to help them better their standard of living without any specifics? Is the NACC and the EC going to demand that they quantify their platform? Usually, party platforms are long on programs to be enacted and short on specifics. If the party says they are going to do this and that, are they going to have to submit a budget to the NACC to illustrate how they will fund their projects? So many things in government are done ad hoc and without planning. Maybe the farmers are still poor but they got their checks based on the amount of rice they pledged - right? The price they got was a good one. What do you suggest to improve the standard of living for farmers? Subsidies/price supports are pretty much the way things are done in other countries. In Thailand, I think issue of poverty among farmers is more linked to patterns of land ownership. Maybe land reform is the way to go?
You didn't read the OP correctly.
It states that you can't just come out with a general unspecified promise... You have to have in depth and specific details, and these have to be scrutinized in detail before you can stand up and promise anything.
Populism is on the way out and it was the only way Thaksin could back a party.
He is FINISHED!

@City.
It is not good enough that they printed the police spokesman's name and the address of the seizure and even the name of the property owner and a picture of the cache, as well as this story being run across various news outlets. It is still probably fake propaganda????
Are your assertions not the same???
I suggest you stop digging yourself deeper, you have defended the red shirts all the way throughout this past 7 or 8 months.. OK... we get it. You love Thaksin and Yingluck because you married a poor farm girl... Everyone already knows.
They also know you are in a corner on every political issue, you have become a plaything and a true victim of red propaganda seeing as you are the ThaiVisa red spokesperson now after your lot have absconded and let you take the flak instead.
Some people know when they are beaten and some unfortunately don't..... yet.

Weren't the numbers of around 19 million tons total purchased for the rice scheme tossed around much earlier?
How do they find so much rotten and missing rice without even checking all of the warehouses yet, and come up with 18 million tons will be sold?
Most probably an estimation. What will be interesting is the mark to market estimate on the value vis a vis what it cost the country.
Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand
This also makes me wonder. I was convinced (and still am) that a large reason the YS government didn't sell rice was because it was the collateral for loans. Selling it would have exposed its true value and the bank would have had to realize the loss on the books. Good banking practice would also have caused the bank to mark the rest of the rice to market.
Now the general seems in such a hurry to almost force a mark to market of all of the rice, breaking the bank on paper. The bank would be insolvent. The bank is government owned and holds citizens' deposits which it has loaned for the rice scheme.
Where is the government going to suddenly come up with 700+ billion baht to cover the losses and keep the bank afloat? Now they announce speedy rice sales. Surely this will trigger Moody's and the IMF to dump the Thai ratings???
The numbers aren't anywhere big enough to kill the country economically. It won't trigger some nonsense with Moody's. You think Moody's doesn't have some commodities guy somewhere who they can ask, "what is 3 year old rice worth?"
Answer "nothing".
By the way, there is no secret magic to the rice market. It is all very well known what the prices are...

You totally miss his point here.
The fallout can be very dramatic from this.
A bank owned by the government has massive interests in this scheme seeing as it accounts for a huge amount of paper assets and can drive it to insolvency.
Moody's etc... are thankfully a lot more forward thinking than you seem to be.
They take into account the impact of not only the scheme losses, the frail condition of the BACC and the rice prices which you have published and don't take into account buyer confidence when buying from Thailand and would likely be looking elsewhere for the next few years judging by the diminishing quality.
But also the coming 3 year's rice harvests and exactly what the expected 20 million tonnes per year on top of the remaining stockpiles are going to do to the overall domestic and global prices or Thailand's position in the buyer confidence stakes?
Or what happens when 10 million people reliant on rice revenue suddenly have nothing but losses and growing debts. Thyen the household economy starts to shrink.
You look too simplistically at this problem, thank god Moody's and other expert economists don't. Remember, Rice is Thailand's number 1 export. You wreck that industry, you can't say everything is alright and will have zero effect.
The rice INDUSTRY is in the crapper, and a miracle is what is needed to avert an all out disaster to Thailand. Thanks to Thaksin and his corrupt family and regime.
BTW.... Why have you issues prices of the best of Thailand's quality???... The OP is mostly about the fact that Thailand's rice is probably now the worst in the world by the time it ships.

All of a sudden the US needs all the friends it can get. Russia, China, and Iran working against them. India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan working the other side. Saudis, Gulf states, and North Africa fomenting anti-American mischief. The French being the French. And, now, even the tamed poodle Germans getting upset. Not to mention the usual chaos and anti-gringo sentiment being sold south of the Rio Grande. Maybe some of the remaining Euro states are friendly, but none of them seem to matter much on the world stage anyway. Better take your friends where you can find them. Now, the Thai generals don't look so bad after all. In fact, I would say that it just might be the Thai generals who hold most of the cards right now. US might need to ingratiate itself somehow with them.
Jesus Zydeco this one borders on Uncle Sam bigotry from the last century. Lets have a look at what you said:
* Russia You are probably right there but who the hell wants to cosy up to Putin ( with the exception of Ukranian separatists )
* China When have things ever been good between USA and China? ( apart from a brief meeting between Mao, Nixon and Kissinger in the early 70s )
* Iran Things are a lot lot better now that Mamuhad Adineajad [sic] and George W Bush aren't around any more.
* India What's up there? Have I missed something!
* Afghanistan What did you expect?
* Pakistan It's been better granted but with all those drone attacks it's not a surprise really is it?
* Saudis + Gulf states with the exception of the Saudi Govt's concern over the (very slow moving) thaw with Iran Which of these Govts have been openly hostile to The USA?
* North Africa apart from the attack on the embassy in Tripoli a few years back What info do you know which suggests the whole of North Africa is enemies with America?
* France This one pisses me off and is well basically a lie ( I'm a Brit who happens to like the French)
* Anti-Gringo sentiment South of the Rio grande Christ you make Cormac Macarthy's Blood Meridian characters look like Henry Fonda ( Great Book )
* Germany it has been better but once this CIA double agent /Tapping Merkels phone BS blows over It'll soon be forgotten.
* Your last point about the mending a few splinters in a bridge with the Thai Generals is relevant but inspite of a few garbage comments from Kerry I never thought the bridge between America and Thailand had been torc
hed to the ground anyway.
Wow!!! Talk about head up the pooper.
But just for you.... everyone in the world loves the USA and all its dominence. No problems with the future or the USD or the economy or the fact that every man, woman and child in the US owes the rest of the world half a million USD thanks to your excessive printing of worthless bills.
The truth is.... enough of the world are sick and tired of the US and over the next 2 years I guarantee you we will be looking at a completely different global landscape both politically and economically.
Read my post before this one... This is not BS, it is happening now.
Also the link at the botom that shows this article is also very interesting. As a matter of fact I will paste it here just for you.

It's up to you if you want to read it or not, or if you want to keep your head buried where the sun don't shine.... But some good advice if you have lots of money sat in the bank in USD..... Move it into Yuan.
Thanks for link it does look interesting and I admit to some generalization in my previous post although there was a lot of it in Zydeca's post but was there any call for toilet humour rudeness and the link only covers China_Russia not every other country mentioned in Zydeca's OP.
If you go to the previous post of mine, there is a link also at the bottom which lists all the countries that are getting together to pull the rug out from the US and the USD to end its global dominance and also mute their ability to have a foreign policy or ability to ever have any real influence over global affairs.
The countries Zydeca named are all pretty much included in the list who have signed the agreement to gang up against the US and there is very little doubt that as far as dumping the USD they will all be on board. Russia were not present, but I think it goes without saying that they will be included.
That really only leaves the EU and rest of the G20 nations and they are all going to sidle up where the economic power is, and that isn't going to be with the USA.
The US will be bankrupted, they have NO money once their currency falls and a huge debt they can't pay and zero credit worthiness. The country will go into sheer meltdown.
Fortunes will be lost and the world's largest mega-corps who have almost all of their capital in the USD will go down the tubes overnight.
The only thing the US will have is weapons, massive civil unrest and a recession that will eclipse the 1930's.
What left for them but to lash out with their military might????
with the whole world against them and nothing to offer... They will be friendless.
Could be less than 2 years away... the next G133 meeting is in September, by then it could be more like a G150+ meeting

Do you really believe this bo11ocks, Sounds like you only get fox news on your tv
Why do you say that?
Everything he has said is 100% true, the US is indeed losing friends fast and making enemies even faster.
You won't find the real news on what is happening outside of the US from 'inside' the US and that especially includes FOX.
This has already been signed by 133 nations and there are only 197 nations on the planet... Many more will follow.
Read on and do a search on 'G77 New World Order' for much more info including a youtube rant by an American who typically twists this to suit US attitude about ANYTHING non-American.
For The Record.... It was also signed by THAILAND.
June 17, 2014. Bolivia. The American and European media are doing everything they can to black this news out. But it’s not going to stay a secret for long. As of this weekend, there’s a new New World Order on Earth and its enemy is the United States, the EU, the UN Security Council and the world’s shadow government led by the IMF and WTO. This new alliance of poor countries wouldn’t be much of a threat, except it includes two-thirds of the world’s nations including China and India.
It’s a sad day for the American people when their government and state-sponsored news industry blacks out such an important news story. Americans actually have to rely on outlets like the Havana Times in Cuba, The Times of India, and United Nations press releases. There’s a reason this news is being censored across the West. And it’s only the latest global news story over the past two weeks on this subject blacked out from the American people. Read on to find out why.
End of the New World Order
When the richest and most powerful nations on Earth formed the G7, G8, G20 and the like, they united to combine their dominance over the remaining 175 countries that make up humanity. And for decades, the wealthiest 20 countries led by the US have gotten exponentially more wealthy at the expense of the poorest 175 nations, who in turn have gotten even poorer. That’s been the result of the West’s ‘New World Order’, led mainly by self-appointed global governments like the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization.
133 of those 175 countries have had enough of the New World Order’s rigged global financial system based in New York and London. They’ve seen their economies destroyed by corrupt corporations and global governments that create a cycle of never-ending dependence and poverty. They’ve seen their nations’ vast resources stolen by multinational corporations. Their agriculture landscape has been poisoned. Their citizens bankrupted by the IMF and Wall Street. And their democratically elected leaders overthrown by foreign agents from countries like the US.
They’ve had enough of the New World Order. And an alliance of 133 countries, two-thirds of the nations on Earth, signed an agreement this weekend to end the West’s New World Order and replace it with a fair, honest and legitimate World Order - one that lets everyone participate and benefit, not just the super rich.
The Next World Order
The organization is officially called the ‘Group of 77 and China’, but the alliance actually includes 133 nations. Showing just how much influence they have, their meeting this weekend in Bolivia was opened with a keynote speech by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. In the audience were over 30 heads of state from around the world and official representatives from over 100 more governments. Also illustrating the organization’s growing influence, China isn’t even a member of the G77, but insisted on participating anyway in a show of unity with the globe’s Next World Order.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro participated, telling the gathered nations they had to unite to, “fight for fair and sustainable economic growth and for a new world economic order.” Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa went one step further, telling the gathered national leaders and representatives, “Only when we are united across Latin America and united around the world will we be able to make our voice heard and change an international order that is not just unfair, it is immoral.”
A report from AFP on Yahoo News, about the only report found in Western media, describes how Cuban President Raul Castro also participated, but reserved his comments for a call to help their top ally Venezuela. Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and a number of South American countries have insisted they are currently under attack by the United States and the CIA, who they insist are desperately trying to orchestrate coups to overthrow their democratically elected, pro-socialist governments the same way they are accused of doing in the Ukraine recently.
Iran and the UN
An announcement published by the United Nations this weekend touts UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s enthusiastic participation in the G77 meeting. It discusses how important this massive alliance is to the goals of the UN, particularly with regard to reversing the world’s growing economic inequality among nations. Moon and the UN are also sponsoring a separate but related meeting of nations in September to draft new climate resolutions to be enacted in 2015.
The announcement describes a private meeting between the UN Secretary General and Iran’s Vice President, ‘On the margins of today's summit, Mr. Ban met with the First Vice President of Iran, Eshaq Jahangiri, to discuss development issues, as well as the potential role that Iran could play in restoring stability in Iraq and Syria. The Secretary-General added that he looked forward to Iran's positive involvement on climate change and said he very much hoped that President Hassan Rouhani would attend the climate summit this September.’ The report also says the two leaders discussed Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the coming July deadline for compliance with past mandates.
Threats of America’s “second Vietnam”
Many of the government leaders in attendance took the opportunity to strike a blow against what they consider to be the biggest enemy of world peace, democracy and economic freedom - the United States. One leader even went as far as calling out President Obama by name and threatening the United States with a second Vietnam.
As reported by the Times of India, the G77 conference’s host this weekend - Bolivian President Evo Morales - threatened the United States and the American President telling the gathered heads of state, “If Mr. Obama keeps assailing the people of Venezuela, I am convinced that, faced with provocation and aggression, Venezuela and Latin America will be a second Vietnam for the United States. Let us defend democracy, natural resources, our sovereignty and our dignity.”
Cuba’s President Raul Castro was possibly the most pointed and focused in his remarks regarding the agenda of the participating countries. As reported by the Havana Times, Castro told the alliance of 133 nations, “It is necessary to demand a new international financial and monetary order and fair commercial conditions for producers and importers from the guardians of capital, centered in the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and from the defenders of neoliberalism grouped in the World Trade Organization, which are attempting to divide us. Only unity will allow us to make our ample majority prevail.”
UN Civil War - dissolving the UN Security Council
One of the more ambitious goals of the G77 and its 133 participating countries is the elimination of the United Nations Security Council. World leaders insist it is little more than a five-nation tyranny over the full UN body. With five permanent members of the UN Security Council having veto power over the rest, UN policies and actions have been dictated by those five countries - US, UK, Russia, France and China. Members of the G77 want the Security Council eliminated so the UN can go back to being a purely democratic body.
The Cuban leader went on to describe a global economic system run by American hypocrisy and financial corruption, “The principles of International Law and the postulates of the New International Economic Order are brazenly violated, concepts that attempt to legalize meddling are imposed, force is used and threats of force are made with impunity, the media are used to promote division.”
Dominoes beginning to fall
This is just the latest organized attack on a global financial system rigged by corrupt governments and the multinational corporations that control them. Just last month, Russia and China signed a long term trade alliance that represents the first major crack in the US Dollar bubble. The two countries agreed to stop using US Dollars in their transactions and instead use their own two currencies. The two largest banks from both countries immediately announced they would be dumping the US Dollar as well.
On top of that, the world’s ‘BRIC’ countries - Brazil, Russia, India and China - have publicly declared their goal of replacing the corrupted US Dollar with some other global default currency. Now that Russia and China have finally taken actual steps to do that, the remaining two-thirds of the world will most likely begin making preparations to stop using the US Dollar as well. It was only this weekend that 133 of them pledged to do just that.
The scary part for Americans is that both Washington and Wall Street have promised this would never happen, because if it did, it would destroy the US economic system and possibly the US itself. Read the Whiteout Press article, ‘Russia-China Deals move US Dollar closer to Collapse’ for more information.
