The Government can't solve the problem. They have to take measures to stop this scam of debt creating. I know for example a dealer in cars sells a car to a young boy barely 20 with no drivers license and no steady income. His income was 15k a month, but he could buy a car fully financed and with a monthly payment of 8k a month!!! He has a girlfriend not married and 2 kids to care for living with the parents of his girlfriend. Of course after a few months problems, he could not pay anymore the dealer took back the car for 50% of the amount he paid and now he has to pay more than 165k debt.. His girlfriend left him and he left his job..The amount will rise every month because of interest they calculate on the 165k.. In my opinion it is the idiot dealer who made the mistake and he has to take the loss. There should be rules that this kind of scam is forbidden. And there are more such cases. Make people aware that borrowing money will cost dearly and make people also aware that those who give the money won't see anything back, as there plenty of examples enough. But don't pay back the debts. Let the companies who took no care of the customers get their loss. It is a part of their business to take the risk.

Soft power schedule in Thailand to atrack tourists.

The money will speak justice... not the illness and all other reasons will be waived away... Thaksin is seriously ill will be the conclusion and need to stay in the hospital.. x in a brown envelope case closed

In Thailand sadly enough the most people have no clue what they are doing. How many times don't we read about things done by one party and the opposite by another. Laws and regulations are not being changed and some are very outdated. The country doesn't invest in the infrastructure. The railway system is 19th century and never been updated, the roads are overloaded and not safe anymore. Houses are being build everywhere without the need as many are not sold and/or empty and sometimes not even finished for some reason. The uneducated people accept everything whta is going on and believe the lies of the army based governments and the people with power, as it is the culture to respect them and don't think for yourself. Tourism is broken down and will be difficult to restore.. Laws like alcohol restrictions, electronic cigarettes, double pricing and now the latest idea for tax refund are not doing any good. The grumpy immigration and long cues at the airports are also not welcoming tourists. Local tourism is the last years promoted, but with so many days of it is no wonder the the economy is going back. A holiday on a weekend day will have an extra day of, as it was not a free day.. Most people don't earn anything or have to work on these days as no work means no money and the holidays are only paid if you work for army or government. Reduce the holidays, stop with day wages, but gives monthly salaries so that everybody in every sector will have paid holidays. Educate people how to spend money instead of constantly pushing to buy and make rules for customers that before they want a loan for a car or motorcycle or whatever that they need a minimum leftover to live from... The economy can be boosted by investment of solar energy. Educate people how to install solar panels, instead of the 10k handout, give people who makes solar panels on their house a discount paid by the government. Stimulate electric vehicles and get rid of the 20 years and pre World War cars, it will improve the air quality, and make restriction for the industry that are very pollution too. Make a police force that do their job. Forbid the burning of rice fields and black fuming cars. Raise the salaries to a normal amount about 600 THB a day. and a workweek of not more than 6 days of 8 hours. And so I can go on and on The past 2 decades Thailand did not do anything and now they have to pay for it. The greed and corruption, the lack of changes will ruin the country.

THe motion was not from the ruling parties, but Move Forward and therefor doomed to fail

I have the same feeling...Friendships are fake, not real, many don't even tell the truth, others only want things from you. Here in Thailand I am also very disappointed in many people, who pretended to be friends, but in reality used you in a kind of way. Believe me I know it very very well as I had several issues in my life where I needed friends or people for some support, but unfortunately I stood empty handed every time. And here in Thailand, it happened the same.. several people acted as they were family and that was mutual, but for a minor reason they suddenly turn their back to you... No I have had it

Better stop with the alcohol sales and buying bans and the ridiculous high taxes on wines from abroad...Very bad quality wines for a high price. In western countries you almost can buy a whole box for the price here and of better quality

The shameless greed of the rich and failing justice. The people of Thailand have to pay to keep Mr Thaksin out of prison..When will be released from hospital It is much cheaper than than spending so long in it that only seems to be a luxury hotel

Old men to keep the old traditions and rules in the country and no way to move forward

Words, words and words, but in reality nothing will change

Conversate is a nonstandard verb that means “to have a conversation.” The standard verb (and the one you should use if you want to be correct) is converse.

I think a horr5ible death if you suffocate yourself in a plastic bag.. a big unbelievable, but suicide is easy.. case closed

Surprise, surprise, with unmotivated students because they always pass, non English speaking English Thai teachers.. as my boss was a master in English but could not conversate with me, English camps in Thai Language and a Government that only speaks of important to learn English, but nowhere in Thailand you can find an English movie on TV, and everything should be in Thai..... A bit of big change is needed... Maybe the former backpackers were better to teach than the average level of a Thai English teacher...

because a famous singer was onboard it is news...

Instead of a 10k handout, they should set up a social security fund for the elderly and handicapped people.. They need the money more than someone with an income of 40-70k and/or a bankaccount with more than 250k... The digital wallet should be reviewed and better used

He doesn't need to live?? no family no food, no expenses, and no tax payments? and how much did he earn in reality?? Unbelievable story only 1,5 mill more in 9 years

and that with only a salary as he declared of 130k THB a month....but no corruption or pocketfilling

Double standards?? no not in Thailand... as they said before, everybody the same treatment...Now Yingluck will be the next to come back and the Red Bull heir will be cleared and all problems are solved again... Prisons only for the poor and uneducated and full of people who committed minor offences..jail terms for shoplifting, kicking someone, or not paying bills... and if you have money you can pay off and no charges.. I know from a boy in the neighbourhood who is dealing in drugs...pay the police and no charges or judge ... and he is free and can continue

what you don't have, you can make..

And it will go down even more as the RD makes their plans real for taxing the money of foreigners

Says someone who don't know anything about the laws of Thailand, concerning relationships

It shows the quality of the Chinese tourists as they need Chinese policemen.. If you behave you don't need an own policeforce to control

No words for this kind of childabuse about nothing... It only shows again that people who are brought up with violence will do the same as they don't know that tere are other ways to educate ....fire and imprison the teacher

after the debacle of the Covid crisis.... Nothing is is ever enough in the land of the blind

I know tax in Thailand is very low,but I know also that the RD have no clue who is earning what and we had an example a few months back when a official only claimed he earned 1 million but in reality it was 50 times more... As long as there is no control and the RD doesn't know who is doing what everybody can fill in what they want...In my country every business needs an accountant, and they fill in the tax for and once in a few years time the tax people come and check everything to see if there is no fraud. Here in Thailand there is no control whatso ever, and many don't fill in a tax form not even to get a reduction and many are paid without tax paying.. It is all outdated the whole system, but now they want the foreigners to pay for their own shortcomings
