    ‘High speed’ needed to name new SRT board

    It was never a matter about SRT Board. It was about CP Group's refusal to sign the contracts. That then brought out threats by the government of penalties against CP and having them struck from future contract bidding. The resignation of the SRT Board is a red herring.

    One of the problems that may have prevented the CP Group from signing the contract was that not all the land needed for the rail track had not been acquired by SRT. I can't imagine anyone signing a contract while that important issue was unresolved.

    Given SRT's track record it had/has all the makings of another Hopewell debacle.

    The Prime Minister has expressed his admiration as Thailand this year is ranked as one of the top 20 markets with the greatest potential for future trade growth

    A reasonably good result for Thailand. 8th out of 20. Just behind Vietnam 6th and Indonesia 7th.

    Just a shame that exports are contracting. According to Trading Economics, down 4% from last year.  

    But export figures are not always what they appear to be. A headline in a report by the Bangkok Bank.

    Thai export numbers for February 2019 were vastly overstated by the repatriation of US weapons systems following Cobra Gold. 

    Some would call that massaging the figures. There seems to be a fine line between truth and lies with government sourced statistics.

    Trump threatens Turkey with 'extremely decimated economy' over Syria

    Turkey's economy is just about stuffed as it is. Whatever Trump thinks he might do won't matter an iota. Except that it might scupper any Turkish/Thailand EEC investment plans.

    Somkid has not long been over there doing a slick used car salesman job on Turkey hoping to induce them to invest in the EEC. Thailand's is scraping the bottom of the foreign investment barrel with Turkey.

    The number of people who registered for the Taste, Shop, Spend scheme has reached 10 million. The Prime Minister has confirmed that the measure is helping to stimulate the economy

    10 million people registered? So 1 in every 7 man, woman and child, old and decrepit or on the teat, has registered for membership as either a domestic tourist or service provider/supplier.

    ID or no ID, this has SCAM written all over it.

    Who's the busty babe? Maybe just a prop for the photo op?

    You are spot on. Looks very much like Mrs. Narumon Pinyosinwat a member of the Phalang Pracharat Party who is the official government spokesperson. Just having a pretend deep and meaningful conversation with her boss.

    Remember a week or so ago she accidentally dropped him right in it when she scattered around photos of him eating out of a foam bowl on his private plane.
