It will always meet my expectations... or if not I manipulate them.. Nobody will ever check and it looks I am really very important.. That is Thailand

Thailand’s EV 3.0 policy faces major oversupply challenges
Too many old and outdated cars on the roads, which contribute to the airpollution, and Thailand is doing nothing about it... They should start with all taxis in Bangkok and Chiang Mai change in modern EV vehicles, provide enough charging places and get rid of the very old trucks, and cars.. It will improve work facilities, and the economy.. Better give some subsidy to a project like this than a 10k handout

EC Certifies 200 New Senators
The Ec is the only institution that rules Thailand.. They decide who can reign, who wins and will be able to form a Government and if the people or votes speak different the EC will prosecute them, disbanned them and find all kind of ways to get them to the constitution court to ban them with lies and false accusations. How long will the people of Thailand accept these people

Motorcyclist crashes into taxi after road rage incident (video)
I never understand Thai drivers... They are too busy with other things than the traffic... talking, looking back at their friends, arguing with other cars or motorcyclists, tailgating for unknown reasons, suddenly braking or take a turn.... It seems that they think they are only ones on the road.... Results accidents like this.. too much ego I suppose

New Bus Routes to Link Major Airports and Tourist Spots
Convienent yes, but I live in Phetchaburi but the bus will never stop in Phetchaburi although they almost pass my house...And I see many times that there are only a few passengers are in the bus... I don't understand as it would bring in extra money for them, but the hide that it is a rule that they can't stop and they are very very unfriendly on phone and mail....If they do it on all the routes it will cost more than it benefits

Thailand Ranked Sixth Best Country Worldwide for Expats
I agree with you, but a house is a one time purchase, and indeed much cheaper than my country too, but there is much more than a house, I have to eat and imported food whatever is because of taxes very expensive, That are costs that nobody calculate. In my country a jar of Hero jam is 2,5 euro that is 100 THB but in Thailand I pay 250 THB for the same jar. If you calculate probably how much extra you pay for all these items maybe you save on your house but you pay it by the daily groceries, and if that is not enough now Thailand is going to tax all incomes/wages/salaries/pensions from all the foreigners... and believe me the tax here is higher than in my homecountry... I am intergraded already here after 20 years, but still I see that Thailand is not the country anymore that is attractive to foreigners, but there are other options surely for newcomers and Thailand will miss them because of their greed

Thailand gears up for digital wallet launch: 10,000 Baht Payout Per Citizen
One small problem??? indeed they don't have the money yet, but Thailand and digital things is another small problem.. 90 days reporting online, Mor Prom, safety at digital bank apps.....This will be no different, the app will not work is refused, doesn't get the money, crashes, just name it... This is Thailand

Govt has Plan B if it fails to borrow from BAAC to fund digital wallet – Paopoom
Borrow the money means paying interest and pay back and that would harm the economy much more than not giving the 10k.. Besides the Government always has money enough... print a lot money it will raise the inflation but who cares, as long as the 10k goes on

Thailand Ranked Sixth Best Country Worldwide for Expats
I live in a nice house with 4 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms, fully owned and paid.... so I don't know what you are talking about.. I never have rented...But for a drinkable wine I want to pay but not for the crap here... and be fair, with all the high taxed products we don't contribute enough because with the tax law many will leave, as they will surely implement it.. The Government is in need of money and foreigners with their incomes can pay a lot..And Do you like to pay overcharged prices anyway??

Thailand to reclassify cannabis as illegal by 1 January, 2025
The flip flop decisions always.... How can you ever rely on what is good and can be done in Thailand..It will be impossible to criminalze cannabis again..As it is impossible to let people wear a helmet, and the result.. Nothing will change and just a new law that will not be enforcement as so many, because the law enforcers are involved in many cases and they will protect their business

Thailand Ranked Sixth Best Country Worldwide for Expats
just an example....Thailand was cheap, but not anymore.... even housing is getting more expensive and with housing only I will not live long, I have to eat and enjoy live a bit too...So with the expensive tax on imported goods, the coming income tax it will not be one of the best places to live in anymore... And if you want to know I pay here for a jar of jam double of what I would pay in Europe...and for Dolce Gusto coffeepads I pay here 100 THB than in EU... I have a house but I can't live from the wind
