  1. They announce their bribes already......except for the handout Pheu Thai is not popular
  2. Does Thailand really think that people with a daily wage of less than 400 THB a day and with 20 holidays a year can buy a house or car?? Or from 1 time 10k handout??? That is 30 THB a day in 365 days....And who can buy?? the rich and superrich and the people who have a government job or are in big business.. although I am wondering how young boys can afford a BMW or even a Mercedes or other big cars...They don't have a normal job as I see them the whole week everywhere on every day... I think I did something wrong in my life
  3. Indeed officially... but everyone gets one ... seen a few weeks back when my car needed the paper and the car before me was felt almost apart and got it too
  4. The result of no driving education, no enforcement of laws, not working RTP and the unawareness of the drivers and the corruption...It will take some generations to solve this problem... Thailand still is not in the 21st century, with their culture.. Things need to change
  5. The Ministry of Education should make swimming class in all schools as an obligation.. Too many kids die as nobody teach them how to swim....Here there is in front of a famous school a beautiful swimming pool, always empty and the water is of bad quality as nobody goes swimming.. So clean the pool and send the kids to swimming class, they only need to cross the road.. Much better than standing in line every morning or practice for walking for hours for a scouts event and many more silly activities.
  6. Very dangerous to drive at daylight already here in Thailand as we read many stories everyday on this forum, but when it is dark it is even more dangerous as a lot of vehicles, don't have proper lights nor at the back nor in the front... I don't understand why nobody takes care of their cars for their own safety but even more important for others. And the police don't care at all.. not even at checkpoints.. if your tax is paid you can go on
  7. Very tragic accident. and again the car probably was on a high speed or the driver under influence of his phone, drank or drugs... How can you miss a motorcycle on the road as you turn around the corner ??? What are drivers doing in their cars??? Rip the boy and condolences to his family and I hope the driver will get a severe punishment for manslaughter
  8. More money for one of the most lazy organizations of Thailand.... They should be paid by their achievements
  9. I know,but nobody takes any responsibility in this case
  10. It is a wonder that no more accidents happens.. If you drive on Phetkasem road you will see trucks and pick ups loaded up sometimes for 3 cars and nobody will do anything... As long as there is no enforcement of laws people will act with this kind of accidents as a result.. So who is to blame in fact???
  11. All thye immigrants must get money too and the people who worked their whole life for their pension are being punished ......Just as in Thailand there is no inflation... everything especially imported things are very very expensive... but some Governments don't care
  12. Thaksin can do as he likes... or if he is being charged they will give him a long time to reply by his lawyers as we see already in section 112 case against him...delayed for almost a year
  13. Outside yes, inside not very beautiful in fact boring
  14. Cash.... that sounds same as brown envelope
  15. If you read the Bible you will see that Israel always was in war with everyone in the region... and now they hide behind the WWII but Israel is the aggressor.. as they don't accept anything from the UN...
  16. I can imagine the problems... but as always not everyone agrees with the Israeli PM and his policy... On the other hand I understand the protests for humanity in Gaza too... and now in Libanon... where will it end if everybody keeps their mouth
  17. Lets have more holidays.... The people on daily wages will be happy, with less money....Only the wealthy will have n advantage and people on a monthly payment... And with rising prices, people will surely spend more and go on holiday as the wages are frozen... Thailand the hub of non thinking. Get rid of daily wages and make everybody on monthly payments at least 15k a month and the number of holidays will be halved... much better for the economy
  18. As friend of the army he can do as he wants to get richer and richer instead of doing real things for the Thai people.. Promising yes, but no real actions...But that we know already for a long time
  19. Why was the girl running away from home??? Who put her in the bar?? just a few questions to be answered.. Not always the girls fauly as is being suggested.. loverboys are also active here in Thailand... But the bar owner is responsible for these underage working girls as waitress or whatever... They have to show an id card at least and if doubts, contact the police or parents .....Shame
  20. If the RTP did their job not only to catch the tourists but the locals too, Thailand would be much better
  21. Thaksin and his lawyers don't need to reply as he is untouchable....at least he thinks and lets us be fair.. It was the worst thing to bring him back to the country.....
  22. More police officers to fine tourists as they are a real thread for the safety... no helmets, speeding, no driving licenses, alcohol consuming, noise making, driving wrong side of the road, fighting, peeing in the sea... all things Thais will never do
