Loud speaking is normal in THailand. 20 years ago I was at a University and they taught us that loud speaking was impropriate... I the years after it seems that almost nobody can speak normally even in the news on TV , soaps, and shows the louder they speak the better it is it seems... And when people are angry the volume goes several decibels up again so that the whole street can enjoy it. Maybe because they are all deaf already by the soundpollution everywhere

The kabaya is Indonesian so why do Thailand claim this?? They should claim more Khmer things

The EC is the worst commission in THailand and we should get rid of it as soon as posible

The EC makes the rules and don't care about anything only that they keep the army and elite in power... Everything else will be dissolved, banned, refused or whatever. It is the worst commission in Thailand and should be banned , dissolved as soon as possible

Thai news can not be trusted...and it is a fact already that her CV is fake....and you don't know me but believe I am high educated, a lot work and life experience and surely be a better senator than this woman, but I am a foreigner and Thais don't want foreigners in positions because they are afraid of losing control

We hope so but the palace has 4 months to sign the law. If it is not done in that time the law can be signed by the PM and than after publishing in the Royal Gazet it will take again 4 months before people can really marry... So It is almost 1st of July in 4 months it is November and possible it can be maybe next year March.... So don't hope for this year yet....

Qualified teachers don't come to work for a salary that is offered here.. Not even half of what they can earn in another country....

stupidity... vote for beauty instead of knowledge

Workpermits and everything in Thailand are too difficult to get with many copies and long time to make it. Many companies and schools don't want to to do the whole process and that is why there are many illegal workers.. Simplicity in Thailand is far away, but with a good computerprogramme connected with other offices as immigration, social security and government ( for getting a pink card) and less paper would be required and things would go more smoothly.. But Thailand stays in the stone age with mass of useless work, never updated rules laws and protecting their own people

And everybody still waiting for the announcement of the Gay Marriage date.... It can take another eights months...

Will not happen see overloaded trucks, cars every day on Phetkasem road to the South

More holidays are needed now...instead of less and paying people a decent salary, so that they have money to travel... Nowadays everything is getting more expensive while the salaries are frozen, How can you expect that people who have already hardly enough for daily food and paying bills can spend more.. Thai people don't live all in luxury villas, drive expensive cars, and have extreme expensive watches... like many super rich, elite business men and Government officials.... Open your eyes please

The boy is doing a great job but it is a shame for the Government and the superrich that these situation are happening. While a few people don't know what to do with their money and buy watches of millions, have billions in bankaccounts, and drive many expensive cars, a lot of people are suffering, because of lack of education, often because they need to help/work for enough money for a poor living. In my soi I know there are kids too, who have to skip school because their parents need them to help. They will never get a education and job. Thailand preaches that Monarchy, Religion, etc are pillars where they stand for, but I can't imagine that superrich and super poor are things that the Buddha was preaching....The rich believe in Karma but I think the Karma has left them already long ago, unless Karma is the same as money

tomorrow the same subject again

Don't cut the study hours, but stop with all wasted time like in the morning standing for the national anthem, praying listening to endless speeches, practicing for wai kru, unnecessary meetings with nothing but boring students, and stop especially with extra study hours after school..... I know students who have to go to school to 6 pm because of extra classes, in the weekend a whole Saturday and even in the long holiday they had to go to school with only 1 week ( the week of Songkran ) free...If time is being used to teach and really good teaching instead of copying what a teacher preaches there could be made a good schedule that even classes could be halved. 25 students max in a class ... But the Government cut study hours without any cut in unneeded activities and keep so the students dumb. Every foreign teachers knows how much time is spilled in schools

When doesn't the Government stop helping these hotels... If they are too expensive no innovations or lack of good service people will not book them and when they get bankrupted and that is good for the ones who are doing their best and fulfill the wishes of the customers. It is called doing business.. Some times you win sometimes you loose and if you don't do anything your business is doomed.. Easy peasy

In many countries there are fixed prices from airport to hotels.. Why not possible in Thailand?? Government should intervene as the taxis are unable to work with fair prices..

Section 112 is the shame of Thailand....

another crackdown on black smoke cars.. as far as I know cars have to be checked before paying tax.. Why are these cars passing the tests?? and why is the RTP only checking if the tax is paid instead walking around the car and check brake lights, black smoke, licenseplates?? Nothing to do with 20 year old cars.. In fact there should be a program to take them of the road and and replace them with new or younger ones.. better for the air quality too

THan the problem is that there is no control how the condo's are used..so illegal hotels should be closed, but here in Thailand with the attitude of mai pen rai everything is possible. and than with the corrupt RTP, and officials no wonder it is a mess... But change the rules because it is a mess is a bit strange... enforce it, check it and close down when not according to the laws. Why must always the rich being helped

It is not one or 10 appartments it is about the whole building....

Maybe start with the proper registration of the 25.000 which don't have it now.... and a single condo can be owned already by foreigners, but the whole building?? who on earth would buy a whole block of condos?? It needs many many millions

No I know, but when people have money they will buy more and that will benefit everybody... from the shop in the street to big companies, but people see only the costs and not the benefits. Always trying to cancel progression

Indeed and 400 THB is not enough either it should be at least 500/600 THB a day.. or better pay monthly 15k than are all the holidays paid too for these people... Look how many free and substitute days are being cancelled and that will be better for the economy too

It is impossible to go forward if the old laws are not being upgraded, The 10k scheme is a burden for the country and will not do any good, but the raise of the daily wage is much better. The businesses are afraid it cost money, but when people have more money to spend they will sell more and it will be paid back. Besides that it is a long term investment as people get every day more salary. But with dinosaurs in the Government, people who only think how to get more money in their billions wallets, and keeping the people poor and uneducated it is impossible to break the monopoly. A big reform of the whole country is needed, instead of taxing people and goods as that will not solve any problem
