  1. i am wondering if it is an obligation. and what if somebody refuses ?? There is something as privacy and is this not against Human rights?? Nobody has to know my weight. but if it is only for the weight in the plane, they should enforce the maximum weight of luggage and handbags too
  2. Is Thailand a modern world?? The people are being brainwashed from birth already that Thailand is the best country, the Elite and higher ranked persons should be respected and listened too, so an arguing with your boss is not done, in meetings it is like in church. The director speaks and everybody listen and nobody dares to say something. In such a country controlled by money, the people believe, as their religion obliged, that changes can be made peacefully. But there is no information about other countries, how they fight with the Government. Even protests here in Thailand are not or almost not being broadcasted. How can you expect a big uproar as in other countries?? French revolution articles are banned in Thailand.. It is not my call, but if there are no victims, nothing will change.. I was holding my breath last year when the hungerstrikers were at the edge, and it seemed that nobody cared. If they had died, Thailand would look different already
  3. Thailand should make a charter with a few simple basic rules, like the American constitution and which can't be broken by anything, instead of after every coup a new charter. In the new constitution should be mentioned that coup/high treason is capital punishment in public..... period without clemency.
  4. Background checks??? brown envelopes?? how is it possible that he could even be nominated for this position or as MP.. It is far worse than a few mediashares
  5. In France in 1789 and in Belgium 1830 the elite and the Government did almost the same as they are doing here in Thailand. A revolution ended it and that will cost no money but human lives. It is a sacrifice that is made for big changes unfortunately. It can go but you here more and more people complaining why they voted, that nothing is changing,and things are going worse every year. It will take time but it will happen. A coup could trigger it and I think the army knows it. That is why they come with all kind of financial help, as in Thailand money is important, but it will not solve the problems
  6. It was to be expected.. Th CC has done its job again.. delay the decision and wait a long time...block decisions and action and see what happens... the one who they want get rid of is very smart and goes himself because he doesn't want to hold the country back....I am wondering how long people will accept the games of the CC Ec and Government
  7. Money has to go, who has the business for this not working program...But who cares about the education the money it is what is counting
  8. And today a story of an inmate with stomach cancer in critical condition who is urged to go to the hospital by his lawyer.. but he jailed for section 112 and probably don't have money.... All same treatments??
  9. Because ghost are the bad spirits that didn't enter the hereafter yet...or they are demons...The good ones we never hear of
  10. In Thailand loves equals the amount of money you have... Everything is about money, how much did you pay for it? how much do you earn? how much does it cost? etc etc if you talk with someone. Always rmoney is involved and as foreigners still seem to be rich ( which the Government keep to say too by double pricing as "they" have more money") the asks for money will be bigger.. I would say although I love her very much i will look further maybe there are others who don't love me for my wallet
  11. It is called schizophrenic or possession maybe or maybe drugs that they hear voices.. happens all over the world
  12. Every day the same news only the dates change, but in my province hardly any rain. we still have to water the garden, although the forecasts always predicts 40-60% rain
  13. If someone wants to be a criminal it is very hard to keep him/her from doing that.. But there are more non criminals than criminals.. and Chinese they are decades known for their maffia all over the world so keep the visa system intact for them just to control, but it is not certain that no criminals are comin. An policeforce that works should help ... but in Thailand.... with money you can buy the police to look to the other way
  14. Indeed.. They should register everybody where they live and get rid of the blue family book. Much easier we are living in the 21st century and why a registrationsystem that is so outdated?
  15. It will not work.. Better give vouchers of 500 THB that can be spend all over Thailand.. Many people who are disabled or don't have a smartphone an people living in rural areas can't use the digital wallet except for their 7 eleven shop maybe. It is again made for cities not for rural areas
  16. I always saying that everybody should register in their own city where they live and that everybody has to fill in a tax form. It is the only way to find these kind of unknown wealthy. They pay not or a bit tax and nobody knows where the money comes from. Besides that the registration of cars and bank assets should be handed over automatically to the taxoffice too. It will show that some who claims to earn 25k a month can't posses 4 villa's and 3 luxury cars unless there is something else the matter...
  17. Nothing changed... same parties ruling only new puppets on the ministerial posts, although the people voted for change...
  18. They want to do it too quickly, without proper investigation.. Spending in 4 km radius is not working, How about people who don't have smartphones, or elderly people, handicapped people who aren't mobile?? How about people with high debts which assets are confiscated?? and many more problems.. Find solutions first and than roll out. I think 20 vouchers of 500 THB printed with the id number on it which could be used all ove rThailand would work much better
  19. the inverted population pyramid will help the economy more do you think??? For me easy.. start with easy to implement measures, for a economy boost for locals.. If there is more to earn things will change, but keep on going like this will only worse things. and yes.. Gay Marriage will contribute to that.Or do you never go to weddings??
  20. What prevention efforts are made in Thailand?? I never see anything on TV such as a phonenumber for people in mental problems, no psychiatrist psychologists to be found anywhere maybe only in Bangkok. But I only see and read how important beauty is. to be perfect, to have money, to spend and show to be rich, etc etc... Something is missing
  21. The result of holding the country back from improvements.. In every country where Gay Marriage is possible it boosted the local economy.. Here in Thailand more than a decade needed before making a decision and still no hope that it would be shortly implemented.. The so called strong THB has done a lot of damage as products were more expensive.. By suddenly weaken the THB there are probably many contracts lost as other countries with te same products could be cheaper, a political instable situation is also a reason why businesses are being careful to invest , besides the outdated laws here already. And tourism is discouraged all over the world for long flight holidays for climate change, while a lot of restrictions are also not welcoming tourists, alcoholsales hours, e-cigarettes, double standards in price and police enforcements etc, combined with a strong( expensive) THB not attractive for tourists at this moment. Nothing to do with visa, as most tourist come for not more than 3/4 weeks. Another thing are the people for retirement. Thailand doesn't notice that children and grandchildren will visit their parents/grandparents, and they will go out and explore the country. But instead of welcoming them, it is being discouraged, by outdated laws and rules and requirements...There is a lot of work to do
  22. My partner and I have made a Thai will as we can't get married yet. I have also in a will in my home country.. Both will don't affect eachother said the laywer, as the Thai will is only for Thai assets and the foreighn will for my foreign assets.. But talking to a laywer is always the best solution
  23. My advice is throw everything away and start from scratch.. First every students is obliged to go to the nearest school, temple school or government school is the same.. Not more than 25/30 students in a classroom. No more mixed classes. Print new modern lesson books, teachers who work in no so well known schools, must be spread around in the province so every school has enough teachers for each class. Working hours for teacher should be normalized it means from 7.30 to 17.00 in school and no special classes anymore. If a student needs help it must be done between 15.30 and 17.00. Students have a half day off every week and no classes or activities in the weekends. Kids must play and not in school 7 days a week. Stop with all activities as Mothers Day, Wai Kru, scouting, etc etc... Scouting can be done on voluntarily base on Saturday. School start at 1 May and the semester ends on 15 October and semester 2 starts on 1 November and ends on 15 March. 6 weeks holidays for the kids is enough in summer and 2 weeks as term break. and 1 week for the Christmas/New Years holiday. Just a few things to start with....As I would do after 20 years teaching in several Thai schools
