But no AC for the children in Bangkok schools? Nice priorities!

No.

Interesting read, exactly what do the commentors consider to be ideal finances to move to Thailand? He says he has 9 Million Baht and 40,000 baht per month pension at 70 years old, that's probably more than most of the people posting here have, otherwise what are they using agents for? Personally, he should leave the 9 million in his home country gaining interest at 5%+, or invest in stocks, and moving some of that interest over every year, the interest alone is almost as much as his pension, which would give him almost 80,000 baht per month at current rates.

Can they list how many criminals have been flown by helicopter to this police hospital in the last 10 year, and how many criminals are currently under this type of care at the hospital? Are there similar medical problems with other criminals, who don't get this special treatment, and are instead sweltering in cells at Bangkok remand? If so, fuel up the helicopters and tell Thaksin he has roommates coming to share his new room and food.

Yeah, right! The party (Pheu Thai) of corruption, who has created a coalition including the most corrupt characters (military stooges) in political history, is not about to give up the gravy train. The only hope anyone had of ending corruption died when the new PM's "corrupt" party and his coalition of the "corrupt" (MP's/Generals/Senators) sabotaged the MFP.

Why not just ignore them until next year?

It hit 38.4 I think last year, I bought substantial amounts then, will buy again when it jumps.....creeping up right now, it's at 35.56 ????

Trust and respect are earned, not given. Being a party of backstabbers, I don't see that they even have a leg stand on, but hey, spend enough and you might buy peoples loyalty. It's amazing how Thailand embraces corruption, so spend (buy votes) like you don't have a worry in the world, its not your money.

First item on the Agenda should be to remove the dinosaur Generals, way too many!!!!

Soon as it hits B38 to the USD I will be buying more Baht ✌️

Abductions and dodging motorcycles and cars while walking down the sidewalks and over Zebra crossings, with almost nobody following any type of road rules, then there is the Pickup and Taxi drivers who believe they are on the Autobahn, not to mention the many Large Travel Busses and tourist MiniBus crashes in the news regularly. <sarcasm>Yes, a very safe place to bring the family.</sarcasm>

They should runup a tally of money scams and criminal activity (baht losses) against how much (baht gains) they get from legitimate tourist from China. They may not like the numbers...

No requirement for a new TM30, and 90 day same as usual, just told me to make copies of all pages of old passport and new passport for next extension, then no need for the old passport after that point. This was at Nonthaburi IO.

You jest, but the cams would protect both, never trust anyone.

He forgot to send 250 extra thick brown envelopes, what was he thinking?!?!

Just purchase a dashcam for your taxi that records inside, with a large SD card, better to protect yourself.

????????????

He's going to send the economy into a tailspin with the amount of spending he will have to do to buy back Pheu Thai supporters. The only saving grace will be that hopefully the USD/BHT exchange works in the favor of us foreigners, please get it to about B40+ and I'll be a supporter too ????

No mention of "public safety" while driving on Thai's lawless roads, pedestrian safety while walking down a sidewalk, or pedestrian safety while crossing in Zebra crossings? I think his idea of "ensuring public safety" and mine are a million miles apart! Yeah, scams are more important than people dying needlessly due to Thai's who can't even seem to follow their own countries laws and rules. Big Joke is the perfect name for this imbecile.

Of course they're not there, they are all lined up at the trough.......money talks, working for the people will always come second, or not at all.

Hopefully soon there will be a prison cell waiting for you and the fat little toad.

Correction: The red shirts, she explained, are people who want to secure power for the RED SHIRTS.

This is the part I don't understand, I would've have supported Prayut if he just took on one thing that helped the country, say full-speed ahead on support for education and English competency, or maybe total enforcement of traffic laws and safety. I mean make an impact that is remembered, instead he chose the Thai way.....increase corruption, ignore the masses, stomp on anyone in your way, and spit in the face of progress.

Since Pheu Thai will have to buy love for their party at this point, things will probably get worse, they have to handout money to every voter they can. Good luck with that, though I doubt it will do anything but sink the country.

Next stop Bangkok Remand Prison, maybe he can room with Thaksin? Just need to add Prayut and the Three Stooges will be complete!
