Sorry. I have been travelling this road route from Mo Chit for the last 5 years to get to my hospital in Anusawari and I have been watching it's slow progress in all those years. Not sure where you get your information but I assure you what I say is true.

The lovely Ratcharda! I am a big fan, she is my pin up girl. She exudes confidence.
But as a government spokesperson she always brings the bad news the ministers and the PM are too cowardly to announce themselves.

National airline’s catering department enters into agreement with farmer’s representative body
What a blessing this is. Management's prayers have been answered. Thai Airways has been saved by the farmers.
All it means is the approved farmers will have to buy their "organic" certification from under the counter of the authorised certification establishments.

Computer whizz expounds his expansive digital knowledge to the rest of Thailand.
He could at least have given the Krung Thai bank a few tips to prevent the crooks hacking into his “Eat, Shop, Spend” stimulus campaign.
Funny how it is that in Thai government departments software bugs are impossible to detect by anybody other than the end user.

An ad-hoc committee to tackle the upcoming US suspension of Generalised System of Preferences
A common old garden variety Thai committee is usually formed so an important decision can be avoided.
A special Thai ad-hoc committee chaired by PM Prayut will make it absolutely certain nothing will be decided and nothing will be done to solve the problem.
These people who sit on Thai government committees are the ones who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a committee.

This is good news. It is about 12.6 kms from Mo Chit to Ku Khot and it has taken about 5 years construction to get that far. About a rate of 2.5 kms per year. It was originally intended to open in 2017. So in Thai time they haven't done too bad really.
I wonder how this rate will compare with the HS train line between Don Mueang and U Tapao which is 220 km. The Chinese will need to do better than this otherwise PM Prayut and the rest of us will long be dead before that line ever opens.

Thailand, Bhutan firm up cooperation in trade, investment and tourism
One minor handicap. Bhutan has a much better corruption perception ranking when compared with Thailand. This should make the negotiation of deals and the exchange of envelopes somewhat more complicated and less rewarding for Thailand "connections" than it might with other S.E. countries and agencies.

34 minutes ago, webfact said:Thailand will expand into other foreign markets in an attempt to increase the value of its exports.
The high Thai baht is already doing a very good job of increasing the value of it's exports to the point where it is a very negative trade factor. It will also make it difficult to expand into other countries and increase the total volume of it''s exports.
34 minutes ago, webfact said:The meeting of economic ministers today instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Commerce to seek ways to urge the US to revise its decision.
As for seeking ways to have the US revise it's decision a good idea might be to try and even up the balance of trade which is way out of wack in Thailand's favour. The trade difference in 2018 was US$19.3 billion.
Thailand might also get serious about human rights issues in the fishing industry PM Prayut might put and end to his tokenism and empty talk on the subject.

I seem to recall the Japanese, when looking into investment opportunities in the EEC, concluded there was a shortfall of 30,000 skilled workers.
So now the Thai government suddenly just realise there is a problem in getting the EEC off the ground and go into a panic to try and educate new skilled workers; something they should have been doing years ago.
But you can't expect too much creative and forward planning from the military wallies now governing the country. Replenishing the trough and taking care of the rich and elite occupies much of their time.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Decent, honest and properly trained parliamentarians are in desperate shortage. Army generals are not trained for and perform poorly at tasks they have no idea about, such as listening and sharing opinions.
and glowing titles do not necessarily improve their performance.
But it sure improves their take home pay and other fringe and tax free benefits.

Innovation comes from freedom of thought and freedom of expression. The two important things in life that are discouraged in the Thai schooling system from kindergarten age.
Most Thai children seem to dance to the drum of being dutiful, obedient and subservient. Free thinking by students seems to be enthusiastically discouraged.
The National Innovation Association Deputy Director of Corporate Strategy Theresa Matavapan should try having a chat with the Minister for Education but I doubt that will help much.

So the manufacturers strip the seabed of kelp to produce some "organic" weedkiller. There used to be a company in Australia that years ago harvested this magnificent kelp for the production of women's make up.
Destroying underwater nature and marine life habitat is not the answer to this problem.

Seripisut should know the PM is a very sensitive and delicate man who could be offended by any questioning. He should also know that he could explode into a rage and threaten to punch someone in the face.
I suggest a peaceful compromise; he could invite the PM's cardboard replica in for questioning.

So mobile cabinet meetings are back on the agenda. The last time I can recall they had mobile meetings was when Prayut Chan-o-cha went on his vote buying multi billion baht cash hand out splurge using Thai Niyom funding.
I wonder what tricks they are up to this time?

Makes it sound as if they'll be handing out 'ageing cream' to potential crumblies.
The lovely, well paid, fresh faced and youthful looking Ratchada Thanadirek (below) observes that “most of those aged between 60 and 64 are still in good health and capable of working”
So I wouldn't be surprised if they bring in conscription for the over 60's. Women could work in the fishing industry, washing monk's underwear or household duties for the elite. Men could be rubbish collectors and do sewage maintenance.
They should be contributing to the economy, not sitting around unemployed. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Next step. US officials should refuse to meet with him.
A snub would do his ego the world of good for sure.
But it would be reported by the government false media office that being the big boss and the mega star of the show he was too busy to see him. And that he had passed on to that Trump fellow he could stick his GSP penalties where the sun doesn't shine because they only affect 0.01% of Thai exports to the US.

So the Thai military and Thai generals have negotiating skills? I nominate General Apirat as the chief negotiator. He needs to get in some practice for when he takes over.
Here he is showing Trump his plans what he is going to do to the US if Trump doesn't agree to his demands.

The other day they were saying Thai Airways was virtually going bankrupt and having a wheels up belly crash landing.
Today all problems are solved and it's.......... up, up and away, the skies are ours.
Amazing what a few motivating words from PM Prayut in their shell-like ear can do.

And as a consequence of this increase and the continually growing value of the baht then export value will rise from -2.5% in 2019 to + 2.6% in 2020. That assumption defies gravity.
That convoluted hypothesis totally destroys the validity of all the ambitious and optimistic projections of the Fiscal Policy Office, Q.E.D.

Two contradictory government statements today. One about airport closures the other about the impact of US trade penalties.
The Prayut government rabble is in total confusion. No one knows what the other person is doing or saying.

U.S. GSP cut to cost less than US$1.3bn - Commerce Min

Exactly! And this is the message Trump is trying to get through.
"Slavery in the Thai Fishing Industry"
The world is a wake up to what cruelty goes on in the Thai fishing industry. This petty military underling is just rattling on with the usual Prayut style lip homage to this serious human rights issue. Thai military men have no heart or soul.
These bozos just don't seem to be getting the message. The sooner Trump hits them with some heavy duty penalties on their shrimp exports then they might start to listen.
