Now look up "Poe’s law" ????♂️ -
Except other quotes here are indicating very significant increases in rental yields for well documented reasons , especially the Russian factor. Now,if they have borrowed at reasonable rates then the equation has tilted further in their favour. That's without even accounting for the capital appreciation of the asset they will also have enjoyed resulting from increased demand. I'm not sure you understand the economic equation and perhaps are more concerned with railing against those simply benefiting from market forces.

The fleeing Russians will throw their arms up in horror exclaiming " Is it me ,or have I just got the worst luck in the world!!" ????

If that’s a rate they can achieve that’s what they get in the end….not nothing as you enviously hope, It’s simply reflecting supply and demand.

Thai baht soars as voters back pro-democracy parties
Chongalulu replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
While nothing can be ruled out there has been such a huge and surprising swing towards the opposition parties,and very significantly towards the most radical. A message has been sent and more importantly the electorate know how much stronger they are in te rms of seeking reform. At some point a tipping point is reached and I think this may be it. For sure any attempt to thwart it is going to be very costly and messy and things could turn ugly. -
I don't. You don’t have doubts about ANY confessions? Or just this one ? You don’t think there’s any need to seek corroboration? And if just this one ,given another suspect was tortured /killed by plastic bag at the hands of Thai police, why are you so credulous on this particular case? I’m not convinced you have thought too deeply about the principles of due legal process. More of an emotional'gut feel' type of guy…?

What authority does the poster have to examine the evidence? Isn’t that the job of the forensic team an£ the police to prove in court ? You are advocating condemning the accused without proper due process. Might you change your tune if you happened to be on the wrong side of the equation in a country where police corruption was endemic… ?

You've already been shown Thailand's corruption ranking has INCREASED since the military rule. Furthermore growth has stagnated Vs ASEAN peers Malaysia, Indonesia. An illusion of calmness produced by a dictatorship is just sitting on the lid of a boiling utensil. You need to look beyond the cosmetics and your subjective stance

So you pay no heed to Global politics, only the one where you vote? A somewhat parochial,insular standpoint. Do you think you haven't been effected by political events in the likes of Russia, China etc.? Of course international opinion is relevant to a country's political standing.

There has been no "taking the country forward ” by any credible metric. Growth has been poor when measured by that of their peers, e.g. Indonesia and Malaysia. Corruption remains visibly endemic. What measure are you using to judge that reduction by. FDI is also not encouraged by psuedo military rule. Move forward has much to do and prove,but at least the stated reforms are where the country needs to be aiming if it is not to stagnate with the status quo of vested interests. That the Thai people have endorsed this objective is a start of their salvation.

You seem to have overlooked that an incompetent military comes with a huge helping of corruption included. A kind of buy one get one free deal .

Yet they all voted for the same party. Surely that’s a good basis for a reconciliation….?… I’m just envisaging that ‘reconciliation' ..and am shamefully aroused ????
