    What's he got against tits and beer? hic

    Conservatives.. They control the people where ever they can with ridiculous fines for nothing while the real culprits of the country get away with everything. Maybe someone should follow him and make a picture of him that could be used to charge him. Maybe he drinks some whiskey and makes a selfie with a bargirl.. Obscene behavior for a politician...

    Isn't thiis why they (the filthy rich) call it monopoly, they can sett any price they wan't as tthid group who call them themselves CP Group.

    The whole country is in 1 hand and all benefits, profits and earnings are being divided to the few... The rest of Thailand can only work for peanuts, Modern slavery and because of the low education nobody will stand up

    You're not incorrect, but the nation runs on cheap labor. It's all relative. BKK office workers make 12-36k pm with most 14-25k.

     

    Just giving more money to people is inflationary and solves nothing.

    Not giving money they have to work for it and Thailand is much bigger than only Bangkok. And in Bangkok life is much more expensive too. Cheap labour is ok but The Government should start with monthly salaries of a minimum of 13k a month for max 6 working days of max 9 hours.. and 1 day week off and if there is an holiday on a day that is not your free day than you have 2 days off but it are paid days.. just like the Government officials.. and than see what will happen suddenly all holidays and substitute holidays will disappear, which is good for the production and people will be able to buy more which is good for the economy, and the businesses, but the greed of the CEO and shareholders  are so big... They don't see the whole picture only their own wallet and claim they can't afford it.. But the billions of THB they have and millions they earn it should not be a problem that they would earn a few millions less ... Even the superrich don't care The people of Thailand are modern slaves with long working hours low payments and no help.... while others don't know what to do with their money.. Example is the PM.... She and her family will never be able to spend their money they have and earn.. but they should be forced to live with the minimum as people now do for at least a month and things would change very much although, they are so blind and greedy their eyes will never opened. No wonder teh education is kept low, suppose people would see this .... 

  4. Last minute measures which will not just as every year, work.... But the job is done It is announced and now time to enjoy their holiday.. They really don't care only around Songkran and New Year holidays. Instead of 24/7 365/365 days a year check and fine and educate people how to behave  or fine when things are not ok, It is only 10 days a year all the rest of the days people can do as they like..And the judges should give big fines so that people feel it in their wallet. That is the best things to get things done...and not in the wallets of the judges and police of course

    Why don't tourists just STAY HOME and brawl in their Home Countries?

     

    Would this not save them much time and money?

     

    Why go on holiday to brawl....anyway?

     

    Seems to obviate the advantage of holiday making....

     

     

    Tell this to TAT and the Government.. They will be happy with posts like this.. and it seems that you don't understand how important tourism is Thailand...and believe me Thai people like to argue too... many times we have read that taxi drivers got problems because they overcharged or wanted more money from foreigners.. Never hear this from Thais.. Do you believe that foreigners accept that they are being scammed or treated unfairly?? In Thailand people have to shut their mouth as that is the culture... you can't say anything, because  he is policeman, higher ranked, friend, or knows people  or you are being threated because you say something. But foreigners are used to say what they don't like and Thais have very long toes and start to argue and like you say.. why do you come here, stay away, go back to your country.... That is very welcoming for people who Thailand need

    Start reading Thai language news, plenty of the reports that you're looking for there.

    I don't need to read that news.. I know stories from my friends, and neighbours that are far worse than is written on internet... and they are not fake but reality, but Thai news only tells you what is convenient and looks normal without investigation.. But even with foreigners it is only a part of the story.. Never get the whole issue
