Nine Deadly Days Claim 393 Lives and Injure Over 2,200
black tabby12345 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Thailand News
Even the first world nations often allow drink-driving(in the name of Blood Alcohol Level; they won't be charged if the readout is below the limit). So no wonder it is often taken for granted here. -
Bkk's ever worsening air pollution since early 2000s. BTS and subway built in order to ease world's worst traffic congestion and smog. Still, capital's air quality is everting to its old state. Thanks to former Thaksin and his associates' regime: Encouraging the poor to buy cars. The same Bulls*iter is now boasting Thai debt will be cleared in 2 years. Ignorance(of the population) is bliss(to the ruling class). Occasional handout of small money turns the voter Yes Man.

Does your Thai wife or girlfriend ever foot the bill?
black tabby12345 replied to BarBoy's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
They are often in that trade to support their family members back home. So must be difficult for them to save up enough for themselves unless their ties with the parents and younger siblings are severed. Sending big percentage of their earning to their home is quite common among other migrant workers of straight jobs as well. That financial burden is often imposed on their eldest sister among the family, I hear. -
Thaksin Predicts Debt-Free Thailand by 2027 with New Strategies
black tabby12345 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In ASEAN summit 2012, Thaksin acted as if Thai representative while he was the fugitive on the run. And did his best to sabotage ASEAN's collective defense policy agreement against China's expansionism. As a result, it ended up closed without joint communique (for the first time in ASEAN history). Thaksin is the embodiment of China Puppet in Thailand. -

Causing problem(introducing Reaganomics copycat policy to Thailand) and blame foreigners. Typical Pheu Thai manipulation taking advantage of common people's overall ignorance. -

Often the common perception among Thai women with foreign men: They(foreign husband/de facto) are here to serve their wallet/ATM. Especially when they have bargirl/sex trade backgrounds. Some exception; I have seen a self-claimed poor foreign artist who has been dependent on his wife's farming family(not affluent) while visa-running(before Non-Immigrant O acquisition). -
Oz $ losing so much value to the Baht

I would say it is mostly for 3 reasons behind. They are: 1-Inflation Rate. 2-Amount of Foreign Debt. 3-Numbers of Foreign Tourists. Thai inflation rate was 0.54% in 2024. While 3.32% in Australia in the same year. Inflation means the devaluation of money. That is one of the major factors that affects currency strength. inflation rate of australia 2024 - Google Search inflation rate of thailand 2024 - Google Search FX rate is also impacted by the amount of Foreign(external) of each country.

B.S. It was Thaksin(and successive regime) that promoted the debt-oriented consumption among Thai public while in office. Encouraging even low-income households to own cars. As a result, Thai Credit Association issued an warning in 2013: The amount of individual debt was at the alarming level. -

Foreign Tourists Stir Controversy in Phuket Tuk-Tuk Sex Ride
black tabby12345 replied to Georgealbert's topic in Phuket News
Phuket found itself at the centre of controversy this week This Week(alone)? Sounds pretty much like a joke. Should rather say All The Time. Many of the negative headlines involving foreigners are from Phuket (and Pattaya) these days. 2 of the Foreign Riffraff Capitals of the kingdom. Sorry for the ordinary locals who want to live in peace. -
