  1. It is just common in Thailand that you borrow and don't pay back. You see it everywhere and the reason is easy... Thai people are learnt to spend, go on holidays ( even extra holidays are added), wear every day new outfits, and be beautiful with all kind of cosmetics. If you don't do it it seems you are poor and you will loose face.. so borrow from who has money and don't pay back but live like a God... No wonder so many households are in debt. Start to teach how to use money and save before buying or holiday, instead of thinking that today is the last day of your life...
  2. In which normal country can the opposition parties deliver a PM??? The Pm should be only be chosen from the coalition.. and mr Prayuth, Anutin, and the others should not even be qualified to be elected as PM.....Never seen that the PM is from the opposition, govern the country will be very difficult
  3. 1000 THB that will scare them and make them behave..... Suppose it was the Singaporean who did the same... The fine would be much higher....No wonder everybody in Thailand can do as they want, as the fines and punishment are never updated only for n on Thais
  4. It can end in that the Thai people totally don't respect section 112 anymore, and than there is a much bigger problem. It is impossible to prosecute thousands and thousands people for offending section 112. I see now already that several people don't stand still anymore when the national anthem is played at 18.00... It is just a sign...
  5. Unbelievable that a law as section 112 can not be amended or changed...and that talking about to do is already a reason for disqualifying....Are we still living in Middle Ages??
  6. the change was in benefit, this change could be the opposite
  7. As I said a lot of hurdles must be taken, but on a monthly salary than the so many holidays are being paid too, just like the schools, military, Government officers, and companies, Now the day paid workers mostly get nothing as no work no money..and so job security is a thing to solve too, but things can change but need time..
  8. A disaster for the economy is a bit too harsh I think..but time will tell, more freedom of press and speech, gay marriage, are good thins for the economy. Higher salaries for the people seems to be bad, but if you look in the past than several countries had the same problem, but in the end it brought more prosperity. However I thing they have to get rid the daily salary system and make it monthly, how difficult that will be for most daily/weekly paid ones
  9. I don't agree I think MFP has a lot of knowledge and want to bring things in line with the 21st century. But the only thig is in Thailand that everything is going so very slowly as Thai people are afraid of changes, brainwashed in the schools, as it is now it is the best for Thailand. And the previous Government did not have big projects and did not harm the country so much?? I think they have harmed the country much more than any other Government and had no clue what so ever. Not educated, but only educated to order but had no clue what they were doing. best example the Covid crisis and the vaccination program and even still a lot of people are wearing masks because the Government never told them to stop it. Stupidity and laziness are both problems but hardworking and motivation will always bring you further. That is what MFP has motivation and they will work hard and will face a lot of hurdles but it is for the best of the country.
  10. The last Government had a lack of everything, how dare they say MFP is to show more political maturity?? Anutin and Prawit and Prayuth even had no clue anything, if you heard them talking and saw the acting to questions. Besides that there are more people who are not suitable for their functions
  11. I am sure that if gay couples can get married it will do a lot of good for the economy. Local gays will give big parties and foreigners will come as there are many beautiful wedding locations here... But the reality is that we will have to wait again maybe for a long time...
  12. Indeed reform is needed. Doctors should get a contract exclusively for a hospital so that they can't have their own clinic at home, or they have to choose for a own clinic but than they can't work in a hospital.. Besides that patients have to go to see a doctor first, which can examine if the patient has to go to the hospital. It is very silly as in my case I have to go to the hospital every time to get new tablets, without any examination by the specialist.. Conversation every time: How you? me I am fine no problems. doctor; Ok same medication and see you in 4 months. me Ok thank you Goodbye...for years already the same...and so are many. It can be done by a "normal" doctor too instead of in a hospital.
  13. I don't know... Mostly there is only 1 winner.. just like in sports, If you are the best you win and second place??? even if you broke your personal record, you are not a winner, you did better but the first one is the winner.. number 2 can't claim the gold medal although PT want to have it. Loosers yes as they hoped they would win, but now they have a second place indeed they won more than last time, but still not the best .... Maybe they could have better be 3rd. as they say a second place is because you lost but you win a third place ....
  14. Pheu Thai shows they are the bad losers... They want key positions, while normally the largest party has the House Speaker and PM... On the other side I am wondering why the House Speaker has so much power.. The PM and the cabinet should have this power and the House Speaker isn't needed anymore
  15. Rip but no wonder if you see his body...It is not naturally shaped anymore..
  16. and not only in Pathum Wan, but all over Thailand you find foodshops that are pubs... A heritage from the Covid lockdown, and a lack of enforcements of laws by checking...
  17. Only 5 years?? and no pay back of the 20 million??? Justice in Thailand..
  18. Don Muang is the only airport that get problems with a not damaged suitcase?? In other airports all suitcases are well and are not damaged??
  19. He is not even in possible coalition of 8 parties.. Why should he make a chance??? Let him retire and enjoy his watches
  20. They don't know ow to spend their money.. pleasure trips instead of education.. This is out of porportion for a trip...Let them pay it back and use it for the students
  21. I am not sure the people wanted the last Government
  22. And postponed it will be and delayed and all to keep him in power. He calls for a peaceful and prompt transition, but in reality there are sources who will do everything to prevent a civil Government.. I think that the military want to have at least one or two parties in the Government, but the people of Thailand were very clear that they don't want that. So delay and postpone everything you can and how long it can be done just to keep the power
  23. The General would surely not accept a civil government. That is why they are trying to do everything to prevent a military free Government. However the choice of the people is very clear and in one or another way it is the end of military based Governments
  24. Happily this minister will not be in charge anymore....Cancel the whole idea
  25. How can that happen?? was his penis so long or was he sitting or kneeling??
