Thaksin wanted to study to built a new capital already in 2003... 22 years later nothing, really nothing has happened. And do they really believe that Suvarnabhumi will be spared?? It is built on a swamp already....

Yes they talk, but don't do anything...It will take years to create a new capital, and if we all see how slowly they are on Rama II road it will take even several decades to make it, but Thailand never thinks ahead, only when their are getting wet they will take action, far too late.. And than we don't even talk about the coast resorts of Pattaya, Hua Hin, Cha Am Pranburi etc...I am living about 15km from the sea, but I told my partner, maybe we will get a house on the beach after several years

Indeed and they still preparing for the rising sealevels, as Thailand only talks and wait. Not even has a plan

Welcoming Pattaya.... smoking not allowed on the beaches, vaping is forbidden and limited alcohol buy and sales hours, robbing by ladyboys and scamming... A real welcoming tourist destination

I read this kind of topic already for several years, but I never read an article that states that the Government is making plans to find a new location for the capital. Indonesia however is already building a new capital for years, but in Thailand I suppose they will start when the water is in the streets, even in the dry season

The kids maybe not, but the parents...the kids are probably spoiled and never had to do anything...

First of all the night is for bad ones... if the entertainment venues close at 1.00 am a lot less will happen, I know you will agree with that. Secondly indeed the parents, but if the parents think they are more than the lower class the kids will act the same.. I am more important than you, my father/mother is high ranked so nothing can touch me... and so on.. and the parents have the same attitude,, Do you know who I am?? Besides that how can people raise and educate people as the most parents did not get any education when they were young.. In Thailand nobody can say anything about anyone here, so in fact everybody can do as they want, Parents have to work, drop their kids by brothers/sisters/grandparents... In the Western world parents work too, but they raise their own kids... Here not..and with a lack of enforcement any law bij the RTP these things are happening.. and the parents will tell the RTP: they are young, I can't control them, I didn't know, same as in traffic accidents.. a lack of responsibility

The result of too late opening hours of bars and the lack of any police enforcement .. together with the corruption and the so called high profiled people with family who think they are more than others, makes the country a free state to do whatever someone like to do... The law can't touch us is an example that shows that high ranked people are protected

There is a difference between complaining and address issues....In the Western world we are allowed to discuss topics, as here in Thailand the same discussions always are being seen as complaining... An example was that in school we were with other teachers talking about the coming English Camp and how to deal with the kids, but a Thai English teachers told us that we were complaining again, but we just discussed some issues of the previous English Camp and how we could improve the problems we got there. Just to say

Thai Buddhism not Theravada Buddhism, but a mix of several religions.... In the real Buddhism monks throw away their money when they go into the monastery, here in Thailand they do the same, but with other hands they will receive a lot of money from the lay people for praying at many occasions. Result is that most monks have good filled bankaccounts. I have seen several monks in Thailand smoking, although for monks it s not done, we have read many times that traffic offenders or other culprits entered the monkhood for penance for the wrong doings.. So instead of going to jail, they are being treated with all respect, although they sometimes seriously injured or killed someone... There are a lot of monks now it seems that don't live without sex too... All give the monkhood and Buddhism in Thailand a bad name and I hear from people that they stopped giving alms to monks and temples, because so many problems nowadays.. I think it is time for the board of Buddhism in Thailand to stop this by making being a monk an exclusive profession.. which means that in fact only kids can grow to monks in a temple and all other should have flawless state of living.

And when do the immigration have special lines, for long stayers and expats and re entry visa??? These people benefit the country by paying tax, and stimulate the economy, for years.... Why are it always the Chinese??? Is Thailand on the way to become a second Taiwan??

money wasted, but the who ordered them enriched himself already..Shameful

There are just too many holidays in Thailand.... How can people ever go every time somewhere?? The holidays could be halved without problems.. but as long as a holiday on a weekend day is seen as work, and therefor substitute days off need to be given, there will be no change .. This month Asaharn Buccha and Kao Pan Sa this Thursday and Friday is a 4 day holiday... The Kings Birthday is the next fo a 3 day holiday as 28 July is a substitute holiday... And that is almost every month

RTP has nu jurisdiction in other lands, just as other land can't do in Thailand.. So a lot of talk, but with outcome of nothing...Maybe Thailand doesn't realize it, but there is in other countries freedom of speech, press and speaking...unless in Thailand

Okay the kids did it, but who gave them the motorcycles???? I suppose they were not imported, but rented here... but of course the rental company is not to blame as its is Thai.

Who cares??? I live in a little, small Soi and everyday M.1 kids are speeding here in the soi to visit a friend, same age 12, 13 yrs old. speeding with no helmet and no clue what they are doing and really nobody is doing anything.. not the parents of the kids, not the police. nobody... I am waiting till something happen... It will not be if, but when... They are too stupid and they learn now to do things which result in accidents as these. Maybe extra information, 2 years a go the elder brother of the boy who these motor crazy kids are coming to visit died on his motorcycle, so I suppose reason enough to be careful

Indeed the Bangkok Bank, as today I made a transfer to Kasikornbank and it arrived within seconds... Same holidays, same transfer only a different Bank. Bangkok Bank would arrive on Friday btw.

What a stupid decision....

I am against casinos surely in Thailand, as people here gamble already a lot.. Only have to see the 2 weeks lottery draw of the Government but also in daily life they gamble illegal. Reason is easy, people don't have a lot of money and think by winning the jackpot life will be easier, but unfortunately they stay losers for ever, as they spend a lot of their money already and they can't stop gambling anymore, which will result in losing their winnings again. The Chinese influence is getting bigger and bigger in Thailand and in a few years it seems that Thailand will be the new Taiwan for China...

That is always the case..... The money counts but they rather love Chinese tourists for years, all other countries were not important... Now suddenly with less tourists they re invented the wheel as Westerners spend more, as they have always done in their holidays here, but which was never seen

I will tell a secret Mr Anutin.. do you have proof that Thai casinos are bringing more tourists in?? Or is the same as with your cannabis policy? First allow it than recriminalise it?? Or with your incompetence of the Covid vaccins and handling the Covid crisis?? So please investigate properly before saying anything

Unless in the Covid period or when you terminal ill a hospitalization is not 180 days.... So everybody can claim what they want, but this is wrong only by common sense already, but yeah I did not get an envelope.

I recently used Remitly.. Works fine within the same day, only the rate is a bit lower, compared with Wise about 200 THB for about 1000 euro

A new hub discovered... hub hub hub

Maybe they can start to negotiate again on the 29 or 30th because in Thailand everything is last minute... Thailand should first lower their extreme import taxes on goods from the West before starting to negotiate
