    So a Bt1499 (or less) bottle of wine which was going to have taxes cut and which hasn't happened will now have an extra 7% added on.

    I think the whole plan is again nothing. It should started already on the 1st of May, and now it seems there is no plan yet..A lot of talking and unrest but in the end it will not work, as they can't open all packages and decide the prices of the articles...And than at delivery when someone wants to pay 8 THB VAT with a 500 THB  note?? or even an 100 note? There will be no change and the package is going taken back... It will not work believe me. And for the wines indeed.. promises but not in reality too.. same prices as months ago and no less....but the 10k wallet scheme must be financed

  2. They should call off the whole idea of the digital wallet 10k.. It is too expensive and it will harm more than do good.. I think that people with in income of 45k or 400k in an bankaccount don't need it, but the poor, elderly and disabled would be better of if they got some money.  It would be much cheaper and also to use the money to increas the daily wage from 350 THB to 500 THB.. That would do much more good to the economy than 10k spending in a radius around your house and if for groceries it has no benefit at all..Only the shopkeepers of 7/11, Lotus's or CJ or whatever..Don't borrow money to pay off loans, as it will not work

    I can handle live or recorded music within reason, but what I cannot tolerate is peoples badly behaved screaming kids, running around and creating a nuisance.

    I was in a restaurant recently, and on an adjacent table was a large family with a couple of noisey brats , one of which was constantly screaming at the top of its voice , and as usual none of adults even attempted to shut it up. Then a kid on a table on the other side of the room decides to copy it, screaming at a pitch that must have been close to being able to shatter glass, this appeared to delight both sets of parents who for the next half hour actively encouraged their brats to scream at each other across the room, even commenting on how clever their offspring were.. Even when the little monsters grew tired of this , their respective parents started screaming themselves in a (successful) attempt to encourage them to continue. Oh what fun they were having.

                    The restaurant staff / management, unsurprisingly,  did absolutely nothing to help the situation either. I thought about complaining , but what would have been the point, I would instantly have become the bad guy.   So I paid up and left, the rest of the customers were starting to do the same as I walked out.    

                    kids under 10 should be banned from places like this, and don't even get me started about long haul flights,  what sort of idiot takes a 2 year old on a 10 hour flight, and why do they always end up sat close to me?

    It shows the lack of education by the parents....Our parents taught is how to behave in public, school, at home... but here the parents as shown don't care.. Same near my place there is a ricesoup shop and the youngest one is screaming as talking we can litteraly hear every word she screams....

     

    But nobody tells her the talk softly and she is already in her twenties.... No clue what they are doing
