    They say the cream rises to the top. The cream at the top here in Thailand is sour. Very sour indeed. Thailand is totally corrupt an run by idiots who are self perpetuating idiots and who maintain power through corruption and force.

     

    Thailand has been run by the army-monarchical complex since the 19th century. Big business and Buddhism simply uphold the order.

  2. Downloaded the app out of curiosity and to compare fees.

     

    Thai Air - Bangkok to Chiang Mai round-trip = 4500 Baht

     

    AirAsia or Lion Air round trip = 2,000 Baht

     

    Most of the people who choose to use Thai Air are older nationalistic Thais who have a misguided patriotic loyalty to their flag carrier. More fool them.

    I'm British and complain about British airways all the time.

    Because their premium economy seats are the same as economy on decent carriers, and their economy seats are designed to make people pay the extra for premium economy.

     

    The difference is you have no problem with someone of another nationality running the airline. Neither do Emirates or most off the best airlines. 

     

    Thai Air appoints military and police, then they wander why it's an appallingly airline.

  4. Thais are a funny breed. Complain about their flag carrier's appalling service and outright corruption.  But refuse to hire a foreign management team with executive level aviation industry to reform the failing airline. 

     

    Better still... sell the the airline to a group like IAG with license for them to do completely turnaround the airline how they see fit.

    Pita is competent, compassionate, and intelligent. Probably the best prospective leader Thailand has ever had. I truly hope he will surive long enough, politically and otherwise, to see his hopes and dreams for this country come true.

     

    He wasn't smart enough to dispose of his media company shares before the election, despite it being the same technicality that Thanathorn broke four years earlier.

    Since you're such an avid reader of the news did you see the 36 billion baht they're investing (announced 2023) for phase 3 development of DMK from 2025 to 2029? 

     

    After a woman's leg was chopped off by the shoddy machinery at the airport. 

     

    If you think that all of the 36 billion baht is going to the airport, or that it will be finished by 2029, I have magic beans to sell you for a million baht each.
