Prayut: Conscripted soldiers can benefit from opportunities
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Sounds good, but I know someone who refuses to go into the army although he was lucky to pick a black ball,,He was summoned several times, but of course he did not show up. A few months ago he was arrested and in ail for drugs but now he is released again, but he is still walking around. We found out that the police has to arrest him and brin him to the army, but because of the poor computersystems, the computers of different provinces are not connected and so he can not be seen in another province that he must be a soldier...And the police is not doing anything as it is no priority.... I am wondering why than the conscriptions??? -
Prime Minister faces questions about energy costs
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The greed is unlimited... In summer when it is hot and people need to use their airco much more, or fans , they always increase the electricity bills.. Every year the same, a lot of use will give alot of money. Than start complaining and the bills go down a bit when it is cooler and less usage.... -
Tourist arrival ‘tax’ postponed, foreign arrivals drop
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The "smart" thinking of we let the airlines cash the 300 THB is not working, and that is good.. For airlines it is impossible on their websites to publish different prices. If Thailand needs the 300 THB they have to find a way to do it at the airport, but than long queues as a result which is bad for the reputation and also with a lot of confusion for travellers, who maybe stand for nothing in the queue and don't need to pay and than to go to another queue at the immigration and another on at the luggage claim... -
Happy to hear for you that you like Prayuth, but the household debts were never so high, the tourist sector has difficulties to recover, as it wa sbroke down already before the Covid, the export because of the strong manipulated THB is declining, Traffic deaths were never so high, povertry is enormous, drought and floodings every year without solutions, higher corruption, and no freedom of speech and writing or tv broadcastings....All for the good karma Prayuth did for the country???

Security guard stomps on American tourist’s head in Phuket (video)
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Results of opening bars till 4 am... 2 am is more than enough and besides that, Thai people can't talk with their mouth, they only way the talk is with their fists...It is common as they know no other ways because it is taught in schools and in their families -
Monks attack each other at cremation in argument over seating

Thai Buddhism is truely not Budhism as they show.. Buddhism is a low profile, no luxury and wealth, but devoted to enter the enlightment and Nirvana.. but here in Thailand,, gambling numbers available, as we see now they want to be more important than another, and have most of the time too much money and than I don't talk about other things.....How can they teach the people the right behaviour??- 11 replies

I strongly believe they have no idea about culture, habits, etc of foreigners...They are so focussed on everything Thai that everything else is a threat and so also foreigners, except when they come for a short holiday and than leave again

The importance of 90 days reporting.... If you read the article there is nothing written why it is important, only how you have to do it, and if you don't you can face problems... But why it is important??? I can't read anywhere. It would be better that the immigration was giving a letter that you could use to get a pink card and register in the place where yo live... and no 90 days insanity anymore. Instead every Amphur has its own rules and change as they please. That is why I don't have a pink card yet after 18 years, although I pay taxes, have Social security fund, get signatures on my papers as proof that I live in Thailand, but I can't register, unless now the latest I have to official translate a certified copy of my passport by the Ministery of foreign affairs...I emigrated and in fact I am nowhere registered anymore.

Indeed many reasons to retire in Thailand, but also many reasons not too.. Why? air pollution, visa rules as adress confirmation after a short holiday outside the country, a 90 days reports why?? .. double pricing standards, in this time of the year too hot,etc. And of course normally cheap, good food, and a lot to see.

Myanmar Man Found Dead, Likely Infected With New Omicron Strain
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Do everything to scare people... suspected Covid, when will this nonsense stop. Indeed there is a new strain but there is not much known about it and far too early to panic. In Thailand they fear Covid more than the traffic deaths, which much more severe -

I want to scream.... another super dish as Thai soft power to attrack tourists -
That is an improvement of the normal days, as we could read last week that the average daily deaths were 44 a day. Now with the dangerous days only 158 in 4 days that means 18 less than normal... Rip for all the deceased, because a lot of them did not need to die if there was some law enforcement and driving education. Now it is the not wearing seatbelts for91% of the injured, but if they don't do anything during the whole year than next year in the same period it will be the same. In a few days you can't change behavior

No savings, huge debts: More and more Thai seniors struggling to survive
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
75% of the Thai people don't pay tax at all.. Maybe they should start with a decent system to register where everyone is really living instead of the blue familybook, and with everyone giving a taxform to fill in. I think in Thailand the Government has no idea who is living where and doing what. That is why corruption and bribes can't be controlled too. -
No savings, huge debts: More and more Thai seniors struggling to survive
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
but holidays, replacing holidays, extra holidays, very low salaries and very long working hours and no social funds.... On the other hand the most rich man of the world and the pocket filling Government doesn;t care about them at all..The new Government will do nothing too unless big changes are made, but with the army in the background control it will be very difficult -
Seven Deadly Days of Songkran Road Accident Update in Thailand
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Another successful story 36 deaths...... Last week we could read that the avarage of deaths till last week was 44 deaths a day.. So 8 less in the most dangerous days in the year.... Again prove that we are told stories -
As same in many countries... The elderly people are lonely special with holidays as the young ones will go out with their friends or with their own family. When you are of age you don't fit in the perfect picture anymore. Sadly, but in time the young ones now will experience the same, and maybe even worse as nowadays they are all addicted to phones and internet, and everyone is busy busy and busy..... I hope the elderly can find some happiness in living their own lives.

The first of 7 dangerous days??? Yesterday Phetkasem Road was not even extreem busy as the seven days took probably off already lasgt weekend, when it was extreem busy.. But if they count too early there a re not 7 days of dangers, but 10 or more days. Anyway every day is very dangerous on the roads, but only 2 times of a year they pretend to make them safer...
