IF parties had a clear set of policies that the electorate could vote for or against, that should determine what parties win or lose. As it is now, seemingly all Thai politicians are following the money which sets a bad example to the voters.
How was this fortune amassed? Surely not out of his salary. Now he's laughing all the way to the bank after paying the 10K 'fine'! Thailand deserves all it gets if they don't confiscate this fortune.
U-tapao is greatly in need of a facelift as are the two bruisers in the picture. The website/email is a diabolical mess. (No answers to queries if written in English.) The facilities are threadbare with the upstairs lounge shabby; infested with mosquitos and totally unfit to welcome International travellers; you cannot buy a drink unless you have a Thai phone with Promptpay on it. With so few flights a day the staff treat their job as a game - three or four playing with the luggage scanning machine.
The post above mine/yours echoed my sentiment. Do readers need emojis now to appreciate humour? Exaggeration for the sake of amusement is as old as the hills. Of course there is nothing funny about strafing students any more than using truncheons/rubber bullets/toxic spray. It is the silly idea that this offensive government would stoop to doing it that is funny.
I actually got my flights; two 14 hour journeys to/from Helsinki. On both there was no room in the overhead lockers which necessitated having my carry-on luggage between my knees. I paid extra for window seats as I suffer from arthritis; leg cramp on top of this was excruciating; alcohol was available at a price way beyond my pension having paid double my usual fare. Aged 80 it was my 1st/last Finnair flight. I took my complaint a lot further than you but ultimately was offered some points in a club I would never use.
