Thailand’s household debt soars as auto loans and cooperative debts spike
Gknrd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Debt saps savings and retirement. It is a plague on modern society IMO. -
Thai people that run the government don't want western tourists , or expats IMHO. Unless they bring in bags of money to hand over. Then they are considered suckers. Thailand wants Chinese.. Thailand thinks the Chinese are going to be the rulers of SE Asia. Maybe they are right , at this point it is pretty much do or die.. At this point with the Chinese economy in the toilet I imagine the PM and others are starting to have second thoughts. But to late to turn it around IMO.

Really the only way to stop it is do like China and don't let anyone post any negative comments. China does it now. Looks like Thailand will be next. Doubt if Thailand cares if any democratic countries complain at this point. The will just start censoring all comments or banning web sites like Facebook, X, anything that someone can post a negative comment on.

Payment of income tax under Section 41, paragraph two of the Revenue Code
Gknrd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Read today this will affect all condo purchaches, house purchaches, bringing in large sums to buy land in wife's name. That will be easy to tax. Banks will turn that in. Also read that with this tax they could start nabbing sponsors and illegal land ownership thru companys. -
Thailand could extend visa-free entry from 30 to 60 days
Gknrd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Agree 90 days and extend for 90, I will be there. -
The ex spy chief, and police in general can moan and groan all they want ,until they are told to be quiet or else. This government is not a democratic elected government. And, it is clear the Chinese and this group are in step. People here are talking like the government in Thailand was elected, and the people have a choice. I don't see where the people of Thailand have a choice in the matter. And I doubt the government cares what they say. Until they decide to come down on them to keep them quiet. The rest of the world is waking up to the fact that Thailand and China are one in the same. Expats and tourists from the west are in for a rude awakening. Lots of broken families and expats leaving with nothing more than their shirts. Just threaten these guys with a loss of pension and they will fall in line faster that you can say " cat in a hat ". As far as western expats go they will keep adding things where it is basically impossible to stay if a westerner. And with a little propoganda, the general population will turn against anyone from the west . That has been in the works for a few years now but quietly. All they would have to do is start a massive anti western campaign and the Thai people would get rid of the expats.

It was stupid on their part. Just goes to show there is basically no leadership in China any more. Chinese diplomats and others don't know what to say or do. Total chaos. Unfortunately that is when it gets dangerous. What is interesting is the Chinese say things like this and Thailand falls in line. Which shows the rest of the world the Thai leaders are in step with the CCP. I personally would not want to be there as an expat or a tourist at this point.

Breathalyzer tests proposed for Thai nightlife venues
Gknrd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Haha, there will be a line of taxi's at every bar. Worse than the Airport.. -
Same with farang police, Now Chinese police. Of course it won't help Chinese tourism. And hopefully they won't be to pregidist against westerners. But, I would not bet on it. Another nail in the coffin for western expats and tourists.

Thailand military upgrade: Defense Ministry responds to emerging threats
Gknrd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Nationalism , slowly conditioning the Thai's to want to fight for Thailand. Hence Nationalism. Turning inward, and against the tyranny of the west. The Chinese have been doing it for years. The elite are heading in that direction. But, have been for a few years now. So, nothing new here. They are just ramping up the propoganda, -
Thailand military upgrade: Defense Ministry responds to emerging threats
Gknrd replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
“If they own submarines or F-16 fighter jets, we must have something of comparable capability to counter them. It’s about assessing a competitor’s prowess as a factor for allocating the right budget.” Wow, that is a pretty strong message for western expats to plan an escape strategy. Saying out right they are aligned with Xi, and china's goals 100%.
