The freedom of speech in Thailand is very very limited.... everything can be seen as defamation... and that for claiming to be a democratic and free country... 2 laws prevent that Thailand is democratic

Report Anutin's Mission: All Thai Kids Back in Classrooms
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is not going to happen .. I see in my neighbourhood a few kids got some money from the Amphur for their education, but they are still walking around and not going to school. And nobody cares... Even the school or the education commission of the area, and police officers let kids be free walking around.. But yea what do you expect if you always pass and there are no sanctions for not attending class... -

Report Father's Furious Kick at Kindergarten Sparks Outrage
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
Yea indeed, but what is in these cells?? drugsaddicted, dealers and some murderers.. and people who have stolen something or for section 112 violation.. But that is not what I mean. Thailand throws everybody in jail, the easiest way to get rid of problems.. But many times you read that stepfathers/mothers grandfathers uncles and aunts fathers and mothers are abusing kids in all thinkable ways or even killed.. and what will happen to it?? nothing... Throw in the cell and the problem is solved, but you need decent education, rehability programs, safe houses for kids and justice that condemns these practices... Some while ago we could read that a kid was abandoned in a house for months untill a neighbour told someone...How many more are there??Kids beaten, abused, living alone here.... and the Government too busy instead of investing in decent education of parents, create institutions for kids safety, etc... -

I always get mad as i read it was unintentional.... WTF... you don't do even not threat of such a movement.. But the Thai brains are very different from normal people, and justice is only to satisfy everybody.. always excuses but no real punishments, so nothing will be solved. -

Economy Thailand’s Wealth Gap Widens: Most Bank Accounts Below 50,000 Baht
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You misunderstand me... I have written many times already that the daily wages system should be abolished and that everybody has to a get a monthly salary of at least 13k a month with 6 days working from max 9 hours a day...THat means everybody earns about 500 THB a day.. and holidays are being paid too. But this is a few steps too far for Thailand..It would improve life and economy .. In the Western world they have done the same many decades ago, so it is possible to do it in Thailand too -
10 year tourist visa with working opportunities... Retired people are even not allowed to do volunteer jobs as a workpermit is always needed. Now it could be on a tourist visa?? Backpackers came many years ago and they found a job an worked and spend their earnings on holidays here in Thailand, but after the coup the visa rules were changed and the backpackers stayed away and the economy started to decline...as with these rules also the people who had to do border runs for staying in Thailand were not allowed anymore to do so only for a stay of max 90m days.. Many foreigners with a small restaurant or shop went out of the country and the partners and their families lost that income.. And now a 10 year tourist visa?? for staying how long? 90 days in 180 days?? so that they can stay exact 180 days and have to pay tax here? and with no other rights as they are just tourists?? It will not work

Economy Thailand’s Wealth Gap Widens: Most Bank Accounts Below 50,000 Baht
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
With anymore is that the inflation and prices are skyrocketing at the moment. The Government with the manipulation of the THB has made everything much more expensive and also by deals of the Thai rich owned companies who sell to higher prices to other countries so that the netizens have to pay more as there is a shortage of several articles.. Just simple things as eggs, palm oil, sugar, coffee and other items.. Several years back they could probably make ends meet, but nowadays it is impossible anymore, while the rich push for more holidays, more spendings, and refuse to small salary raise .... -

I am not surprised.. The Thai people are not being paid decently anymore and all the money is hands of a few rich and superrich families...These families are holding the country back from going forward for their own pockets..- 65 replies

Tourism Tourism Shock: Thailand's Visitor Numbers See Alarming Plunge
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
And the most funniest thing is that Thai police officers, government officials, teachers, and other common people are vaping everywhere and are being left alone, but if a foreigner is vaping he/she will be fined....That is the biggest problem and a main reason that people avoid coming here.. the tourists are seen as the criminals and law breakers, while the netizens are the majority and being protected for same offences and worse -

Tourism Tourism Shock: Thailand's Visitor Numbers See Alarming Plunge
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In former days backpackers did some jobs and spend their money in the weekends and holidays for a few months. But with the visarules and outdated labour laws, it is almost impossible to for a backpacker to get a job here now and they come to visit the country, and go to a better destination... Thailand does not change anything for foreigners for the best, but make things more complicated for them, with the result they are losing them... Now the expats with the new tax law are being targeted.... How can you promote your country as foreign friendly?? -
