Good let them away... Thai will not do the job as at the moment they ask for wages that is beyond normal... Let the crops rot on the fields and the buildings unfinished and see what good it brings by crazy ideas of the people in charge... In Cambodia they probably can find work too, maybe less paid... but better less paid than no pay. Security... of what?? there is no threat at all, only comments of Thailand what Cambodia is doing on their soil.

One point in Thai politics is...... kill the opposition by finding fake reasons to dissolve and ban parties and people..The winners however who bought their votes all over Thailand are being left alone.. Of course they are part and friends with army and elite and want to keep their wealth and influence and will never allow that others take power....It will end eventually as we have seen in history with a very angry population, who don't accept these things anymore..

Good to hear that NHRC is also giving comment on the election.. But Thailand will do nothingh with it as they don't accept any involvement of foreigners/ organizations in their policies.... It shows that Thailand has to change things....

Who will get the profits???

How many Thai people all over the country are making wildfires every day??? I like to walk around early morning and when I do I see at least at 3 places every day people burn rubbish and leaves or are making charcoal.... A lot of smoke so please don't blame others....And than I won't talk about Thailand and all the forests and illegal buildings they have done.. so please don't blame others while the country here can improve much more...What Cambodia is doing on their soil is theirs.. Thailand should stick at its own

Restaurants are business and business means taking risks..... There far too many restaurants in Thailand and all fishing in the same pond.. No wonder nobody earns anything... The best will survive...No need to help them. they have to find their own solutions.. Serve better food, give better service, or lower your prices and the customers will come .. but too much pay for average food and /or bad service is chasing customers away. It is their business and their risk and their policy, let the government out of it.. Think and invent instead of holding up your hands

Where are you allowed to drive 140km an hour??? So accept the results if you do stupid things.. Happily the kid is safe....

Please stop with announcing that the image of Pattaya is being damaged... Everyone all over the world knows Pattaya is the capital of sex.... If you want to change the image close all the bars and ban all hookers, but then nothing of Pattaya is left over

It is just that these people are all friends and friends must be helped.... So enrich yourself , family and friends and let the country suffer... They don't care about it.... Who on earth would have drugs convicts in a government???? And than wondering why Thailand is a third world country and can't play on the world stage

What an unexpected grow in the last 3 months...which is unbelievable.. probably the calculator of TAT, to make the country look fine. The THB is and was too expensive

It is a pity that many people here only talk about their own situation, but not see what the results will be in reality... I don't care about the 5 THB more for noodles. It is only used as an example that things will be more expensive than 3%...... And not only that... It is a plan to raise to 3000THB ... I must see it that is becomes real first....In Thailand are many promises but not many are fullfilled

Cambodia can do on their land as they want.. What Thailand thinks it is is not important and not even done to interfere in another country....But Thailand wants to control everything and everybody, but it can't be done over the borders. And as long Cambodia is not doing anything, Thailand can think the worst, but there is no proof yet.... so why claim rising border tensions.. It is made up by Thailand

Every tax office is different.. A problem that occur in whole Thailand.. ask someone and you get an answer ask some else and it is complete different... I am retired and I have to fill in my tax here.. Last year I went to EU and immigrations did not stamp my passport with an out stamp but when I cam back they stamped in.. The tax office this year had a problem as they could not see if I was 180 days in Thailand they claimed.. I told them I am here already 20 years, I emigrated to Thailand, Happily I had my boarding pass saved and they were accepting it.. New people new things it seems.. So next year I don't need to fill in my tax form when they don't stamp my passport when I leave???

Thailand is too expensive at the moment indeed.. prices are same as Uk and EU for hotels and meals.. no wonder tourists stay away

Simplicity .... This is not how VAT works...... It is not on you income but on the articles/services you buy...example 1000 THB with 7% VAT bills makes 1070 THB with 10% VAT it makes 1100 THB... a raise of 30 THB...same for water, gas, petrol and all other products you buy.. It will make daily life more expensive..... and with a result that prices are rising...and we all know that 1 THB more will not calculated it will be at least 5THB...we could see it if we buy noodles and the gas price is 60 THB more expensive my noodles rise 5 THB ....

I think I know more than you think... the problem only is that the tax department doesn't work and has no clue who is living where, what his/her assessments are and what work they do and how much they earn....and there is mare VAT you pay than you think....gaz. electricity, water all have VAT check your bill

compare the income in the UK with that of a Thai.... than you can get real outcomes... In the UK and EU are things more expensive but the people earn a lot more too..

I don't believe that... The Government never is giving so much raise....Daily wages can't even be raised properly.. I believe it that the elderly will get 3000 THB when they get get

there you have the problem.. THailand is no democracy although they they pretend to be

Indeed never give up.....he is right and the EC must be getting aware that they can't do as they want in every election... They seem to be untouchable but are incompetent, corrupt an totally unable to organize simple elections

Smart move.. no healthcare or insurance... I hope you and or your partner will never get in the hospital... It will cost you dearly, but that is your choice...rest same for me occasional drinker of alcohol.. Christmas/New Year, no smoker, no kids at all, no rent, mortgage, but enjoying life by eating outdoors every day lunch, cooking own food, some holidays during the year in and out Thailand, but with a healthcare insurance... and house insurance, car insurance, but I still spend at least 25k a month..... that is 300k a year. And we live a very modest normal life. And I pay my Thai taxes too, so my contribution to the raised VAT will be significant more

Big spender with 30/40k THB a year......

You have no clue about VAT.. you pay vat on everything... It is most of time included in the price and if not you will see it on the bill seperatly. Only tourists can vlaim thdir VAT back, but nobody else.. so every price is going up 3% in case you missed it....your electricity bill, water, everything will be more expensive. And VAT is totally something else than income tax. If you were a bit informed you should know that

indeed a good move, but how much will the pension rise??? 2 % a month???and how much VAT more does the people pay from their pensions?? 25% for daily groceries???Sadly that you don't understand that the money is not spend for the elderly, but only to fill the gap in the budget of the Government , which exists by extreme costs.. They should start to cut that first, instead of getting the money away at the people who must contribute to the economy...And in a few months after it is implemented we will read that the inflation is not up..but prices are going up already by the expensive THB, the VAT, the profits of the shareholders and the extreme salaries of the CEO's....

Bringing the economy further down... More expensive.. thanks to the BJT. And complaining that the economy doesn't grow
