Politicians are not elected for their towering intellect. Most are thick as a fence post … their highest intellectual achievement is to be cunning. They are not elected for their morals (sexual, graft etc) as everyone knows they have none. They are not elected for their honesty (you have to laugh at that notion). These guys were elected to give the country a badly needed colonic. To do this ruthless people are needed. People who are not afraid to be hated. People not afraid to break things. It’s not going to be enjoyable but should feel better after. Yes of course their buddies will all be richer after but that was going to happen no matter who was elected.

Yes, true these companies are breaking the law but mostly are not involved in activities that are illegal. I believe they mean that the authorities are after those businesses that are engaged in illegal activities.

As I see this, the changes being contemplated are designed to benefit the top 0.5-1.0% of wealth holders … like K. Taksin and his buddy’s. These people make the rules to benefit themselves. There is nothing in this for the other 99% of Thai’s, other than higher costs and putting at risk housing affordability for future generations.

They need to fix the fundamental issues that are leading to the poor performance before injecting more money into this underperforming basket case. Get rid of the corruption, nepotism and antiquated management systems. Clean house to remove the dead wood and bring in talented people at all levels. Putting more money into Thai airways in its present state is just throwing good money after bad.

So they think that they can somehow legislate sensible alcohol consumption? This is a fools errand. Alcohol consumption is an individuals choice. As long as it’s available there will be abusers. It’s about how many there are. The best a government can do is ensure rigorous enforcement of existing laws (eg road safety, DUI etc) and create awareness for the physical and mental cost of alcohol abuse. A tall order I know for a ‘live for today’ society.

There is no enforcement of the road safety laws at all as far as I can see. Many think it’s about driver education. Sure that will help a bit but it’s not a solution. People respect what you inspect. A diligent focus on enforcement of the existing laws will get driver attention and compliance. I have no clue what the the police here do (beyond directing traffic) if it’s not about enforcing the law.

- The plan aligns with a broader policy outlined by Chinese President Xi Jinping, aiming to establish China as a global leader in tourism. - …positioning Thailand as a central tourism hub. Is it just me or do these two statements seem contradictory?

Well she is right about he food. Philippine food has to be among the worst in Asia. As for fast women, I have indulged in more than my fair share of Philippine women o we the years. Here is a generalization for her … in the end all woman are the same, they are driven to control their men … it’s an overwhelming urge they can’t escape and it spoils everything good that they do.

Mystical insight to the unknowable fluctuations of currency. Truly a giant of economic thought.

Seriously? The court system would come to a stand still.

All Thai roofs leak. Don't worry, this is not a flaw. It's a design feature. If it were a flaw it would have been fixed years ago. Nobody knows better how to design a roof than a Thai builder.

Must be butt ugly.

Low dose Mushrooms and LSD are the two most known and effective treatments for PTSD. They are serious game changers for people with this condition. Much better than the garbage the Pharma companies and Dr’s prescribe for the same condition.

Especially since the ex con was a pal of Taksin’s. You can bet the unwitting Srethai was told by Taksin to make the appointment … Taksin knowing of course it would cause a <deleted> storm. I wonder … who does the Constitutional Court work for?

57 million people played like a fiddle again. I have to give it to Taksin he has been working devilishly hard the last 6 months getting things aligned and doling out favors and positions to bring this to pass.
