Money to burn, rags to riches in an amazing turn-around of fortune.

Strange that in all the years he spent in exile right up to the latest photos of him globetrotting around the world and enjoying a birthday party with Hun Sen, we never ever saw him wear a neck brace once.

Fantasy land.

Prayut didn't have a son?

A cosy reunion...

Thailand needs workers, why make it difficult for them to come?

The economy is tanking, and short term stimulus measures achieve nothing.

Hmmmm, I'll have to think about that a bit longer.

I wonder if that means kicking out Thailands "ghost masseurs"?

Burning, construction sites, crumbling concrete structures, vehicle exhaust fumes, factory emissions.... to help you get going.

Sitting beside the pool....

Trusted Thai banks... call me old, stupid or old school.. if you wish I don't have a single banking app on my phone or computer.

Now 38C as I write this...

Therein lays the problem.

Sure, give the kids an ID... and the small shops will still ignore it, [they want to sell] The solution is to stop shops selling to kids... that takes a deeper thought process.

Thailands elite families still operate as they did a century ago, as you say a feudal society. As for education, that won't do at all... children are taught to be subordinate to the upper classes. This goes hand-in-glove with the above.

Can Thailand do anything on it's own initiative, or does it need foreign investment every time so it can then call itself the leader in that field?

Cure the economic crisis and the debt will reduce.

But it's not inflation...

I'm not sure it's entered the 20th century yet?

The economy is in crisis... sort that out and the population will grow. It's not rocket science.

All smiles at the front, with knives out at the back...

Thai politics is harming the country, foreign investors want stability not in-house petty squabbling and power games.

Why?

Inept governors and Poo Yai's not doing their jobs.
