I totally agree with you and than we come back to my first post.. Register everybody where they live and let everybody fill in a tax form for at least 5 year, so that the Government knows who is working, what they earn and their assets are...Income is everything even cash payments, although less controlable, but if someone claims to earn 15k a month, we all know that he can't drive a Mercedes and live in million worth house.. Than you have a real picture of the population, but now we all know that some families are earning a lot of money and a other have to work 12 hrs a day for very minimum. Put together that Thai people don't want to work, as we can read and see that many workers from Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar come to work here. It is impossible that 75% of a population don't pay tax but can live happily, than there is something very wrong. Start with a good registration first and with the tax department it is possible to take measures againt, drugs, corruption and moneylaundering. There will be more people who have to pay taxes and with a good Government the country can use it to improve .... But we can't solve the problems here in this country, as foreigners have no say...indeed I know that it is impossible to have a good idea who is poor or not so poor and very rich. But the sudents are aware that things have to change, and if the students come in the street there will be changes coming.

not only the minister but also the people in charge in the army involved in this tragedy... 30 too many on the ship than normal with no life jackets......

families live together sometimes in things that you can't call a house... So they can survive if they put all the money together.. But it is not for me, but ne fair a minimum of 350 THB a day for long working hours is much too less nowadays, as prices are rising already.. even without salary increases in Thailand to 600 THB. Of course I can't compare Europe with Thailand, but as we can read many times, more debts, more people poor and 4 million people living under the poverty is very shameful, as 5% of of the Thai people have much too much and that is not because they work so hard. Anyway 1789 of France will come to Thailand sooner or later believe me.. I live in Thailand for more than 17 years now and it is indeed not the same anymore, but it has gone down... talk to Thai people and they agree

The economy is better with a population that is poor with no social security... I agree....Better focus on the rich and more household debts.. that will do the economy much better.... Until the people realize that it is not fair as it happened already in 1789 in France....After that things are changed dramatically.. Much better.... There is much more than only salaries needed for inflation..

no i don't think so.... I studied economics.... but who cares...

26 days working for 600 THB makes a monthly salary of 15.600 THB. Not so much I think nowadays..Somebody working in a icecube factory makes 12.000 THB a month, so not so much increase, yes indeed 30%, but what would it do tothe economy of people have more to spend.? 8 million people who can spend 30% more is a lot of money for the economy and of course the greedy industry will rise the prices...

I know too but they are talking about 600 THB a day .. but with so many holidays no work is no money. Change to 600 THB a day for 6 days work a week max and monthly payment and if there are holidays at least the people are being paid.... as I said change things..

I know, but no Government has done anything to start....

honest to the tax department?? in which country are people honest if it is about tax/?? And IMO the cash payments should be banned.. we live in a digital era. Stop with daily payment, but monthly salaries on bankaccounts. Changes must be made

I know, but there no control system.. People can buy and live luxury with no tax payments, because the revnue department has no clue where the money comes from.... If a persons earns 30 k a month he can't have a luxury car with a loan and own house of afe millions with a mortgage .... that person must have extra income, because how can he live if he paid his bills?

Everybody register at their amphoe. Not as now that people are registered in a blue book of family but live somewhere else. Than everybody has to fill in a taxform, so that is known who earns what and has what assets..How difficult could it be? After 5 years if you don't earn enough for taxpayment don't need to fill in every year a taxform but maybe every 5 years.. Easy to check who is poor or earn a bit and need any kind of financial help and also easy to control corruption and drugstrafficking. Now it is chaos, as you said, maybe a lot of people have to pay taxes, but don't because there is no control. Nobody knows. But look around you how many people ( young people) drive luxury cars, mo and expensive motorcycles.. Where does the money come from? How can they afford it?..It seems that that a lot of people earn more but don't pay tax as nobody has any idea what or how they can do it.

The poor can't pay taxes..... and those who pays have a good income already

But Prayuth is helping the people with tax reductions if they spend 40.000 K for New Year... He better could implement a decent registration system, there is a lot of poverty in Thailand and I strongly believe this is only the tip of an iceberg. Nobody knows who lives where and what do do or earn.... Start with a proper registration

The people are bored of the PM so let MP's have pics with the Pm.. Maybe less people will vote for them.. Besides that the EC or its members makes too may rules... freedom is domocratic,

Never travel at night... In daytime it is already dangerous, but at night is really Russian roulette

Except for Phuket....

8.1 million Thais are poor, 4,4 million below poverty..... Whay do they have for benefot of this shoppers rebate?? Could the Government do nothing for hem? 8.1 who will have more money will spend more what is good for the economy instead of benefits for the wealthy

Phuket above the law, as we could read that the cabinet was not approving the extending hours?

Maybe depends on the country... I went with mypartner to France with a Spanish Schengen visa and nothing asked.. stamped and in in seconds...

Every country seems to want the millionaires and billionaires.... But there are more non millionaires and billionaires and they will and can spend their money in the country too which isgood for the economy. Drivethe "normail" people out and see what will happen... Don't forget that retirees most of the time have children and grandchildren who visit them and that are tourists too. Governments forget that, so less retirees are less tourists too and I don't think that the few super rich can compensate that. Think before you ruin more

He should know that nothing is allowed in Thailand unless you have a workpermit. And that is only given as you have a job or occupation for things Thai people can't do. And as they can do everything....... it is impossible to do something as a expat or retirered foreigner

I wish he would become the new PM. The country would go forawrd at least.. but banned for fake reasons, as he is a thread for the current leaders. This ban should be lifted

because all ricefields are being sold to build houses.....and nothing has any impact on whatsoever in Thailand... everything is going better, y o y if you believe the news..

Chinese will not come for a while I think, as the crematoria in China hardly can cremate the bodies at the moment. Covid is still in China as many elederly are not vaccinated yet. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/12/15/1143002538/china-appears-to-be-facing-what-could-be-the-world-s-largest-coronavirus-outbrea

Rukes, corruption, and nothing matters in Thailand.. business as usual
