Mr Meeseeks

I should get a jab, I have PR, work permit and pay tax / social security, but you never know.

They have announced today all foreigners will receive a vaccine, so I wouldn't panic just yet.

In times of crisis who cares whether the vaccine is obtained privately? They should be encouraging private hospitals to do it!

I'd go easy on the comparisons with Romania you know, thinking back...

Listen to Wield the Spade by Oysterhead, about the Romanian leader Ceauşescu.

Very appropriate and lyrics could be about here also.

One could possibly think that someone really wants to wait until a certain company connected to a certain person begins production.

As it has been all along, to continue the fabled narrative.

Whats the fine for threatening someone with a machete? Im still waiting on the Police to get back to me on that one, from the other day , which is  odd  because  i  think if  i  got  out of  my car and threatened a  Thai with a machete it  may be a  slightly  different "cue mad farang threatens Thai nationwide tv event" + he wasnt wearing a mask, expect the mask wearing is the serious  issue  though, maybe I should go back to the Police and mention that

You should have filmed it and put it on social media mate, seems to get the job done these days. Shame the man-children into action.

He is too incompetent to understand he is incompetent.

No, he is a multi-billionaire, the head of a very influential Thai family and simply doesn't care. 

They are not very good at accepting blame or taking responsibility, if you haven't noticed.

If so, go remind yourself and refresh your memory at Kanchanaburi.  Americans, Australians, British, and Dutch all died beside Thais in Hell Fire Pass.  

Not that many Thais though, only those fighting for Seri Thai would have been sent there. 

Most of the people were Asians; Indians, Malays and Burmese and were captured fighting for the Allies and shipped in from recently conquered territory.

Perhaps he should consider changing vocations and become a construction tycoon instead. He may be better at that.

 

Oh... he already is one?

 

Then... what the heck was his business becoming public health minister in the first place? It's like appointing a bricklayer to head a hospital.

Ministerial positions are for the heads of the most powerful clans in the country. Read the Secret Siam article on BJT for clarification.

Competence and ability have absolutely nothing to do with selection. 

"Do you know who I am?"

Thoughts of many in this country, my wife and her family are among the people that feel this way. The government does not care about its people, only those is power care about their money and fortune. I thought being here I would be rid of people like Trump. Trump was the same way in America, a conman, cheat and only cared about his fortune and helping other rich bastards that he could get favors from later on in life.

Later on in life? He is 74 years old lol.

Carefully chosen photo I see.

This is the effect of the government allowing Songkhran to happen !! Millions of people travelling all over the country for 5 days.  What did you expect ? Worse figures still to come.

As predicted by many on this forum.

The govt. suffered from a large amount of hubris but you know what they say, pride comes before a fall.

@pedro01 what did you end up getting, the Z4?

I'm driving an A200 AMG Dynamic now, bargain at 2.15m I reckon. Not perfect, but a great little streetfighting sedan. Even for a small base model it is deceptively quick. The interior and MBUX is far beyond what most manufacturers are offering, including Tesla.

Will keep this for a year or two and then maybe new C-Class, as it looks mint from the vids on YouTube.

You need a bit of balance here in your argument.  I very much doubt that we have any Billionaires on TVF and definitely not posting on here.  Millionaires and the like have a different set of values and needs to 'ordinary folk',  as well as no need to consider alternative uses for their money, as you well know, so its a facetious point to try to bring them into this conversation. They also dont live in Thailand as retired  or working farangs. They tend to have more sense than that and live in places where they don't stick out like a sore thumb.  Like I said before, a low profile works well here, a high profile is dangerously naïve.  Farang in a high end Merc in Monaco, a big tick; a farang in the same car in Thailand, a bigger cross. 

Never had any bother in high end cars in Thailand and have owned several, mostly MBs.

Lived here 31 years.
