So the well known brands are going to leave Paris, Milan, New York and will settle in Bangkok?

How? And Why?

I eat the best Thai food out of Thailand (Europe).. why?

Most products are of better quality, especially beef and vegetables.

And more safe.. less pesticides and other stuff I don't want in my food..

As for #4, this is Thailand. Why should they learn to speak English just for you? You are in their country - learn some Thai.

95% of the residents are falang.

I speak thai so whats your point if any .... So when a thai live in England, Russia or whereever they learn that specfic language ..... 55555 yeah right

Of course your Thai is excellent, like all other TVF members, but some people have a bit of a problem with the language it would be nice to have at least one or two persons working there that speak a bit English considering the foreign population in Riverside condominium.

It's only the most important language in the world.

I have been there also... lot's of trees, wood province.. boring, but beautiful and cold in the winter.

Also they apparently had an argument in the bar before they got murdered, with who?

Hopefully yet further steps in crushing the countries chronic corruption problem.

Long may it continue.

Not sure how they work out that 11 BMW bikes are worth 6 million though

How about a bit over half a million each?

We go shopping in Bangkok and buy fruit on a floating market..... I see the mrs. already jumping of joy!

Didn't I read last week that TAT manipulates the figures?

So are these the manipulated or real numbers?

Does he speak English?

I Thought we don't do politics in Thailand anymore.... useless poll!

After the authorities shut down the seminar at Thammasat University on the fall of dictatorship in other countries, Thai universities appear to have been banned from discussing politics.

That's not quite true, there's more that you can't talk about publicly - prayuth said that topics for discussion must not be democracy, elections or criticism of the government.

He also asked if he had done anything to damage the country since he took power. Well, that's up for discussion...........................actually, it's not, because you can't.

Ok.. well that makes it all good then..

@kafaak Thailand's educational system is full of problems. It's so explicit. Foreign research results also showed this, but the educational authorities refuse to accept this.

This could be the core of the problem.

One comment I didn't get was Kalbo123's contribution that a litre in Thailand = 830cc hmmmm perhaps you'd like to rethink that one... 830ml = 28oz = 1 quart / 1000ml = 33.8oz = 1 litre

Of course I mean to say 830ml.

But what consumers should be aware of that was a litre before..

It happened with a lot of products in Thailand also washing detergent was 1kg now 900 gm.

Prices rice and you get less product.

They fool around with the quantity.

A litre milk is 830CC in Thailand.

While they are at it, maybe they can ban bikinis at the same time..

Are there still health insurances available for people over 65 years old?

Or over 70 years old?

I ask this for some people that live in my neighborhood.

Thought he also said he did not want to become PM......

Currently, an assistant to a minister earns a government salary of Bt63,800 but Prayuth wanted that reduced to Bt50,000 in order to save Bt13,800 of taxpayers' money.

I wonder how these assistants are supposed to pay for the schools for their children with a salary like that, not to mention car, mai noi etc...

They also always counted the border runners as tourists... was at Mae Sai last weekend, there where no "tourists" !
