    Fair enough but all I'll ask is this. In what way has your life been affected because of lack of self determination? What do you REALLY think you are going to get back because of "self determination".

     

    Its a straw man argument and tbh if you have to ask there is little point in my answering it at length....ill put it like this...  

     

    If you are allowed to rent and you can afford it forever with all the maintenance and responsibilities would you want to own your house ? Either you know and care about the difference and prepared to to do what is required or you dont. 

     

    Personally I would go to great lengths to assure I own my own home etc but I know plenty of people who just dont or want the responsibility..I dont care what they want to do as long as they dont try to force me to rent too... I hope that answers your Q ????

    But....You just did ???? (sorry I could not resist, no offense meant, just for the sake of making a little joke )

    No offence taken at all. Actually I was not engaging in dialog or "talking" as we are now, it was simply a statement and notice of action, thats just me being polite.    ????

    Explain why.

    You miss the point that they did it before to close the border and it worked perfectly.

    Are you that kind of pretentious individual who holds the truth and is realistic without ever providing the slightest proof? A kind of guru without any evolved idea but who knows everything?

    Please, teach us the true my lord...

     

    I dont talk to banned trolls.. blocked

  4. Been reading these stupid polls that are posted on TV for over 15 years here,. Usually its a low and pointless number from a particular demographic classic was 1200, usually Dusit or some military academy.

     

    Basically these polls are ALL just propaganda BS for whatever narrative they junta or gov wishes to peddle..... frankly its pathetic but hey ho its Thai tradition.

    What is your problem with the 7Eleven eggs on the shelves (CP brand)? The eggs on the shelves, the 10 for 55 baht are very good.

    Wow thats gone up in the UK its 15 medium eggs for about 45bht everywhere. 55bht would get you 15 extra large

    That old tried and tested business model in Thailand that i sure to make you go bust. Even buffaloes learn from their mistakes.

     

    It astounds me how many businesses actually fold in Thailand. Coffee shops open next to another, 7/11, shops and countless others that just don't seem to have a business plan for 5 years and a marketing strategy.

     

    I would like to think that this would change but I don't believe it will. It seems ingrained in a mindset that will take many many years to erode. Which is a shame as it has the potential to be be one of the most prosperous counties in SE Asia with its natural resources.

    What always amazed me was the amount of times some Thais went into obvious business failures and still found the money for the next stupid idea.

     

    No shortage of money out there, same with the new car thing and other huge expenses they seem to suck up, bemoan but learn nothing from.
