  1. Time to repeat 1789, indeed.... They are right it is not normal for a fugitive who should be in jail to get treated as celebrity..while the common people suffer in prisons, he is relaxing in the hospital so called ill and maybe not even there...as no one is allowed to visit him
  2. I am wondering what the road safety campaign was... I never saw anything or read anything..unless on internet
  3. Of course ... How could anything fail here in Thailand? just manipulate the numbers and everything looks fine... Many tourist with huge spendings, less traffic accidents , injured and deaths, as we only count them who died instantly, later on the way to the hospital or in the hospital we don't count anymore.. We order not count every accident in every province and see... It works
  4. Not attacking Thailand.... but the wines here are very very expensive and hardly drinkable.. Never went abroad?? When I go to Europe I can have a bottle of good /very good wine for 15 euro (600 THB) in a restaurant, as for this price in Thailand you have chateau Migraine, because of the 300% tax...I am convinced that if the imported wine was less taxes the revenue would be bigger as more people would like to buy and drink it...Nothing to do with attacking Thailand..but Thais unfortunately think that Thailand is the best country in the world, but many have no clue what is outside
  5. It would be much better to lower the tax on imported wine and beverages, as the local stuff is undrinkable
  6. Probably more but the numbers must look better than previous years to show how good the RTP and the government are doing their best for the public safety
  7. How can a 15 year old accidentally get a gun or whatever....Probably it is no accident, but stupidity and no guidance of parents.. H did not know where guns are used for?? What was his intention to take it with him?? Buy a bottle of cocacola?
  8. I am happy to read that he is so wealthy and I am sure the workers who work for him to get him so rich will be paid a daily salary of 350THB a day.. and there will be no room for a decent salary raise... The family has already so much money that as long as they all will live never have a shortage.. but the people who are the ones to give him this wealth must be scrape every satang to get some food... Nice example
  9. As you probably know sound pollution makes people stressed and with other issues maybe it was too much.. Working every day in the noise, and everywhere around you.. Try to find a place to relax... Even the temples are the worst... It would be a start to forbid the temple parties
  10. That they sleep is not the intention. the purpose is to delay their travel and reason to hurry
  11. And the slavery should be stopped... The high earners, companies and owners of the country should stop abusing the people and give decent salaries.. Elderly with 3000 THB a month is a shame.. teachers or classroom helpers with 7000 THB a month is laughable.. and yes maybe prices will increase but must the elite earn billions millions are not enough for them?? No they shout they can't afford it, while they drive many luxury cars, have houses abroad, luxury holidays... It seems Thailand is still living in the time of a banned movie
  12. The police believes a lot in Thailand.. better do proper investigations.. Besides probably the music was too loud and too much noise as it is common in Thailand. Sound pollutions drive people crazy... Even in a shopping mall there is no background music but it seems you are in a pub.. Complaining doesn't help as they have no clues..but it is proven that soft played background music will improve the sales and loud music will chase customers away... but alas who am I?
  13. At the roadside.... hire a ricefield and let the people sit or lay down to sleep.. They are the ones who made a mistake no need to pamper them...
  14. Every year the same story on New Year and Songkran, but nothing is being done by the Government during the rest of the year.. severe punishments, real checking of alcohol and drugs at checkpoints, speeding and lane changing. hold the drivers and show them a 4 hour video obliged to watch so they will belayed more as they should drive normally..and drunk/ drugs in the blood, forbid them to drive on.. confiscate the vehicle until they are totally sober again. Just a few things
  15. indeed and that in the famous sex capital Thailand
  16. What is the problem? The selling ? the masturbation? the many followers?? Many people are exposing themselves on internet for free
  17. Ultra chic P80 air??? not for tghe common people I suppose
  18. Many horses and oxes in the Government I suppose, for the others with their salary raise of 2 % of the 350 THB daily wage they will not be so lucky
  19. OMG even the 90days reporting is giving problems... Thailand and digital products are not a good choice... Mor Prom is another good example
  20. Time to extend opening hours for the entertainment venue and less police to control alcohol and drugs abuse in the traffic
  21. Shame Thailand, Shame you there are no other words for it.. Government offficials 20% and the common people only 2 THB??? Shame ..... there are ways to reduce the costs for the Government and pay more for the people .. The richest and the companies with huge profits should be boycotted by the people
  22. Thai immigration is always a problem, delays, or anything are said to make the problems, but with slow working officers, a lot of administfration at the desk, it will never improve. Why is in the EU or a lot of other countries never a problem But in Suvarnabhumi always long queues ... Last time we came back on 6 October and it was the same problem.. No delays no extra flights but a crowded area at the immigration.. and it takes a time before you passed them.. In 2023 it is not updated yet although they want more tourists, but 30 minutes to enter is far too long....
  23. The people cam prefer what they want, but the army an the rulers elite will decide differently. They will never give up power, and always protect what they have. See the last elections
  24. No wonder.. The Makro is a wholesaler too but it is impossible to buy beer or alcohol before 11.00 am or after 2 PM till 5 PM... Besides that the quality of most wines are terrible and far too overpriced. and with less European tourist coming and staying alcohol sales will go down. Reduce the tax and stop with the alcoholsales ban and things will be better. Example we went to Europe and a bottle of Porto wine was only 8 euro so say 320 THB. Here in Thailand you have to pay for the same bottle 1290 THB....4 times more... The greed of the tax the offices.. In a restaurant we had a very good wine for 15 euro a bottle.. that is 600 THB Try to find a bottle drinkable wine here for that money... imposiible.. all Chateau Migraine quality
