Bt10,000 cash handout for disabled to be paid on September 25 - Pichai
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Sounds like a cigar from their own box. With many victims of flooding and storms, which are mostly the vulnerable, they can get instead of real help their 10k handout already. It will save the Government money as real and more help will cist much more... Why do the Thai people accept this ?? -
People’s Party urges urgent rewrite of 2017 constitution
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
There is no charter in Thailand , only section 1 and 2.. When there is a coup the whole charter is being thrown away and be rewriting by the junta and changes will be impossible.. Just to keep the power. Why not write a complete new one like the US have with rights and duties for everyone that can stand for ages... -
Torrential trouble: Thailand braces for flood of rain until Tuesday
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
they live by the day in Thailand.. never a view for the problems coming and when they occur, they will see how and what they can do....Nothing can be planned here..Not only for the flooding but many other examples too.. Look at Digital wallet.. They still don't know how to do it.. cash, partly now and next year, on the cellphone... And they claim they are the hub of almost everything -
Thai Hotels Struggle as Mid-Priced Rooms Fail to Attract Tourists
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Complaining complaining, but no investments, idea's or promotions.. It is easy to find cheap good hotels, but mid price hotels sometimes are too expensive for what they offer and you better are off to stay in a cheaper hotel. Holiday season in the Europe is over, the Thai Baht is again too expensive, the Western countries are discouraging travel with planes, Airtickest on long destinations are expensive and with all the scam in Thailand for taxi fares, police fines, and tourist attractions, and the bad air quality it is no wonder that tourist are looking further than coming to Thailand.. There is a lot of work to do and surely not start with more taxes as all imported goods are already very high taxed, see in the supermarkets the prices of imported articles and wines and beers for example.. -
PM Paetongtarn's Policy Statement critisised as Echo of Thaksin’s Vision

She is a ventriloquist.... and we all know who is holding her -
They are so very wrong.. It will be a burden for many years to pay back the loans and will cost investments.. They should push the same sex marriage bill to be signed asap as in all countries all over the world the economy has a lot of benefit of it. Many gays in Thailand are waiting to get marrried, which will stimulate the local businesses, as for dinners, shows, music, flowers, gifts, clothes, and many more... but it is still not signed and published for an unknown reason.. And after it is signed there is still a 4 month waiting so nothing that can boost the economy can be done before June next year... And that is much cheaper than give everyone 10k

Thai supermarket Big C to launch four new branches
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Big C with Big noise.. I never go there anymore as the music too loud and on every corner a blaster announcing prices of the articles nearby.. Silly situations ... just as people can't read how much a T shirt cost, or underwear or a bottle of coke or whatever.. They chase people away instead of creating a quiet atmosphere were people stay longer to relax and buy morem as many studies have proved. Here in Thailand the louder the music and the more noise the less people will buy ...Complaining doesn't help Thais know what is best -

Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In Thailand they can't use computers many examples... policecomputers of different areas are not connected, bank offices are not connected , even the living place and the blue family book are not connected... and AI that will take a few decades before Thailand knows what it is -
Baht becoming ridiculously strong
ikke1959 replied to fulhamster's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Understandable. Thailand is manipulating the THB and with an more expensive THB they will get more money as things are being more expensive.. So at he end of the ear everything looks well but in fact it is all made up. The Government will shout look how much percent the economy increased by this government, but in fact it is manipulation and not the reality -
Don’t kill the golden goose! Tax reforms may drive away expats
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They just realize this??? It is normal to see what they are doing and the impact of things when it is too late.. and than they want to turn it back which will never be able.. Tourism they have broken down several years ago already and look how they struggle to get it resolved now.. Now the tax is again a problem that they first do and when the expats and retirees are gone they realize they had made a mistake but they can't correct it anymore and so there are many many other things they do by not proper investigation and thinking of consequences... I know several sold their house already and left the country and more will follow as i hear in the expat community last week... Myself I am considering too what to do- 421 replies

Thai newlywed woman left in debt after dowry promise broken
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
People don't marry for love they marry for the dowry.. Time to end this medieval practice..And most people don't even marry for real, but only ceremonial. If they had a legal marriage things would become much different -

Thai Finance Minister Calls for Tax Reform to Boost Economic Growth
ikke1959 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
As I wrote many times, Thailand should register residents where they live and not in the blue family books. Then everybody has to fill in a tax form with their jobs, bank accounts, earnings and possessions. This could show a lot of information, and also shows the bribing and corruption ... As when someone has a job of 15k a month , he she can't without explanation have several houses or expensive cars.. And they could say it is from a inheritage but that is easy to check too as the ones who died have filled in tax forms too.Besides that the real poor people are easily found and can be given proper help, but at this moment the Government has no clue where someone lives, is doing what earn how much and what assets they have. Easy to reform tax, but first make a real thing that you can reform.. Now there is nothing as 75% of The Thai people can do as they like -
porn Illegal in the land of sex?? Oh yes I forgot as long as the envelopes ar being given nobody sees or knows anything. Never heard of privacy? It is no concern what he is watching on his cellphone as long as only watch it by himself. Nobody needs to look what another is doing on or with his phone. Or would you like that that people comment if you talk in public with your gig on messenger?

Thai doctor vows to create "Hitler Room" to gas hospital smokers
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
driving a car, motorcycle, or bicycle kills too, consuming alcohol kills too, eating food and fruit and meat grown with chemicals will kill too.. In fact everything you do will kill you and even if you live healthy , life will kill you, but put people in gaschambers for something is over the top -
What is the problem? A bar is free an if they give free internet it is up to them. That the man did not spend anything should be told by the man in charge that consumptions are obliged or leave. But he did not do that. Policy should be changed, but you can't control what people ae doing on their cellphone

ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
They should put him in it first for a few hours and than see what he will say again.. He surely will increase the health costs in Thailand or even worse if people die.. He is a killer and shoudl be removed from his post. He should make such a comment in Europe...
