  1. In 2014 Thailand stood at 85th in the world corruption index. By 2022 it had fallen to 101st so all Prayut did was let it slide down with all the other tinpot dictatorships.
  2. The yellow shirts created the chaos to scupper the elections simple as that and they succeeded as in stepped Prayut with his coup.
  3. They didn't refuse to leave as they had a duty to remain in power until a new cabinet was in place.
  4. Too fast during a rain stor.m, hopefully the driver will learn to slow down.
  5. Please show that serial complainer the oath Prayut and his Cabinet colleagues swore after the last election as it had nothing to do with the one required by the Constitution.
  6. "34,000 billion dollars" This person knows <deleted> all about what they are typing.
  7. Perfect example of the revolving door that is the so called justice system here. Irretrievably broken.
  8. Totally agree. Tesla have started a downward spiral recently with their price cuts. A couple of Thai discussion groups are suggesting the subsidy will be ending in September but when pushed nothing substantial to back it up.
  9. Possibly but we'd already paid for our Neta when the salesperson told us the subsidies would be ending at the end of the year 555.
  10. The only price rise our local dealer is talking about is an end to the Govt subsidies for ev's at the end of the year.
  11. Not enough hours in the day for Prawit then.
  12. Maths not a strongpoint of yours is it.
  13. She has all of her dad's experience pulling her strings.
  14. I think the woman has been watching way too many Thai soaps to think this crackpot idea was even close to being a good plan.
  15. You have outright just proved my point, thanks. 194 selected by the ruling junta. 50 from a shortlist submitted by the NCPO, the NCPO being the National Council for Peace and Order, again the ruling junta. The remaining 6 were the very top military commanders from all branches of the Thai Military. Every single one of them a military appointed stooge.
  16. 250 unelected military appointees....fixed it for you.
  17. Except of course the 250 military appointed senators who can veto the people's choice of PM.
  18. Jeez, even Prayut admitted in one of his first tv broadcasts after taking power that yellow shirts were amongst those commiting acts of violence.
  19. Unless they have a Thai work permit yes.
  20. Many business leaders in the UK are calling for the UK to align with EU regulations to simplify trade as they recognise going it alone will be disastrous for industry. The CEO of Ford UK did exactly this recently. The EU cutoff trade talks with Thailand in 2014 in response to Prayuts coup. They've recently reopened negotiations just prior to the recent election. The UK is the only G7 economy still below pre pandemic levels.
  21. Yeah I fully expect trade with Thailand to replace the billions lost from trade with the biggest economy in the world right on the UKs doorstep.
  22. She's the moron who denied all the doctors from the EU in the NHS who left in the years after 2016 has absolutely nothing to do with Brexit.
  23. Probably true. Neither wifey or myself work and the bank wanted to see my work permit. Retirement and pension, however big, seemed a big no.
