Move Forward Scores Surprise Victory; Pita To Become PM
racket replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In the realm of politics, individuals can receive praise without any notable accomplishments to their name. This particular individual is a young and fresh face, which is precisely what Thailand requires. After decades of hopelessness among both the young and old, who have witnessed nothing but corruption and polarization between the impoverished and affluent, a change in leadership is desperately needed. However, transforming the direction of the nation will require years of dedication, and the powerful internal establishment will be closely monitoring every move made by this individual. While it's a promising beginning, the effects of their actions won't be immediately evident to those seeking change, as progress will take time. -

Thailand’s struggle with high household debt and political promises
racket replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Inflation have made things worse, and having the government to subsidize loans and hand out money to ordinary people, is the root of all debt problems to start with. Government need to step out of the way, and let the market handle it. Those who have lent out money must take responsibility if they are not getting paid back. -
Thailand’s struggle with high household debt and political promises
racket replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What if her business requires a car? Her children also need to attend school. The fact of the matter is, social media has played a huge part of this problem. Everyone wants to show off stuff they can't afford, to impress others who don't seem to care anyways. -

Man, 25, fighting for life in Thailand hospital after horror crash

For those who don't know. If you own a bike in Thailand; you have to have mandatory insurance and pay annual motor tax. The insurance you get will cover health care costs as well as third-party costs should you incur damage to others. Hospitals will get reimbursed from the insurance company. If you are a tourists renting a bike. You'll definitely need health insurance that covers motorbike accidents, but you must (in most cases) have a drivers license and should have wear a helmet during the accident. Otherwise, the insurance company won't pay any liabilities. Be careful out there, and hopefully the 25 y/o man gets back to normal soon. -
I have been off deodorants completely. Instead I use Aloe Vera for my under arms. I also use it for my hair and face cream. It doesn't smell anything but it definitely keeps you dry. You can buy them in Tesco or Big C. I think they are about 180-200 baht and lasts for months. Way more healthier than all the chemicals you get from deodorants.

Thailand’s new air quality standard to take effect on June 1st
racket replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Lol, June 1! Just when the raining season begins, and everyone applauding thinking these standards will have an effect. 1 year later and we’re back to normal hazard pollution. Fact is: they facilitate nationwide burning and encouraging it, because big money is being made in this business. The amount and level of bullsh!t coming out from these peeps amazes me. -
Thai Expert Explains High Electricity Bills in Thailand
racket replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My electric bill came at 2950 baht for the month of April. Last year, I didn’t pay more than 1200 baht per month. -
By the look of this thing, one would wonder if it was just a matter of time. I have been inside this ferry before and let me tell you, the whole structure is rotten from the bottom up. These things were going 24/7 and the question is if they ever gets maintained.

Glad they arrested him. This is one of the reason I never keep too much money sitting in a thai bank. People need to be aware that you can't trust the rule of law and the institutions in this country. Even if its a major bank, you should not have too much money sitting in a Thai bank. The reason being is that most of these criminal gangs have infiltrated themselves through immigration, law enforcement, the banking sector and even the police force (which is very weak). All combined making foreigners an easy target. Always use a western bank with USD, EUR or equivalent as fiat and shop around with a debit card such a Revolut or Wise with no fees attached to spending. If something like this ever happens, you'll most likely be insured and there are sophisticated tools to re-route money back and even locate the gangs behind frauds like this. In this particular case, the thai bank wouldn't be able to do anything, so they had to bring in the police and actually arrest the dude. https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/9546-kasikornbank-bank-employee-fraud/ <<<< Link to Bangkok Post removed >>>> https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40023571 https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/crime/bank-rolls-over-after-security-footage-captures-employee-stealing-money There are numerous cases, but these above are just examples.

Government Approves CAAT Plan to Tackle Soaring Ticket Prices
racket replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
If there's not enough supply, no. But higher prices eventually cures higher prices, whether that comes from increased supply or people unwilling to pay. A recession in the global economy would drastically bring prices down, in a possibly deflationary environment. -
Ladyboys the highlight as the army draft is spiced up in Thailand's northeast

They are both equally stup!d. American LB's are woke, but the thais are just doing it because they don't have any masculine energy anymore. -

Well, if you can lure your enemy being a hot chick in the middle of a battlefield.. Then these ladyboys would obviously serve a good purpose. They are still biologically Men. -
He’s a lost cause, and at the same time tired of being overseas. Most likely he’ll bow down to the elite because the police force is not longer with him. Prayut managed to cleanse Thaksin loyalists within the force, so once he comes back there won’t be anyone he can rely on. This was obviously all planned. He wasn’t going to be exiled forever. If the elite is now working together, then the people are fvcked, with zero opposition. Pure speculation, but the puzzle is all over the place. A champion of democracy hides in Saudi Arabia. What a joke!
