See you further first and put it all over Thai TV channels to educate the super race too, will you please?
I, for one, am amazed by the fact that literally everybody soils the environment with wrappers, plastic bags, food containers etc. etc. More than once I approached the parents and asked them, if this is their country (in Thai) which they obviously confirmed. I then asked, why not to teach the kids to use bins (really close by) to put rubbish there, where it belongs?
Most of them got angry as they lose face but usually the rubbish is getting picked up by ... the mother! Education ...........
It only works via the wallet; put a deposit on every can, box and plastic bottle and wonders will happen. Either the user returns the packaging or some poorer people will start making a living = goal achieved ????-

1174 might not be a relevant poll - to start with.
Eating out means also enjoying a good time with friends of a meal. 30+ years ago you could not eat a bad meal anywhere, without MSG, sugar and Ketchup. Today's offerings in restaurants or streetside is simply horrible; combined with the usually unfriendly, if not grouchy service ............-

Prayuth and his friends will have only one possibility: to accept or ask for asylum in a country that will welcome them; and I think there will not be many.
Well, Zimbabwe is out - meanwhile and the Congolese welcome is over ever since Mobutu signed off ????-

Worst cas scenario would be if they would be cut up into pieces while the precious metal getting melted into something else. A sign of times?

Yet it was perfectly OK for the Cambodian ambassador in Jakarta to GATECRASH a briefing/news conference and putting the BBC journalist off with the comment "you shut up".

He's a complete idiot. It was German technology which saved this clown's life and has nothing to do with these overpriced clay amulets being "made available" at exorbitant fees all over the Land of Lottery!
Good luck the government (i.e. tax payer) is so generous to provide S200's to sleepy big wigs of Thailand's brown force, if it is not the government then it still is the tax payer, who foots such protective working gear like an Mercedes-Benz S200?
In closing, have a look at the pictures and then wonder, how aliens can build such cars while their owners are riding around mid afternoon and taking a little nap. A little dream maybe?-

I am sure the Pattaya city council will pay for the repair of the damaged pick-up as well as the downtime of the vehicle - or not?

Honestly, who cares? If you want to report every Tom, Dick and Harry‘s problem in the past then the internet will explode within milliseconds and our solar system will see a total melt-down.
Deal with it - it is called LIFE!-

I will go and close my accounts with Kasikorn today. Have you ever heard of „changing the withdrawal rules of Huay’s savings account from signing with a signature to fingerprint identification“? I mean, how medieval is that and knowing the Thais love for details and precision .........
Not, that I would have B 250 million to withdraw and my kids luckily make enough money on their own but you never know ........ the postman, the gasman, the water delivery boy, or beware, Somchai himself ..........-

Bullet trains and sub marines will take Khon Thai away from all those problems like rising CPI, unemployment and the nasty alien which ultimately will be blamed also for this desaster.
Just make sure that Prawatch knows when it is time to clear the stage for someone to clean up this helluva mess left behind by him, his boss and all those underlings with brown tongues hanging around in all those temples of inefficiency and corruption -
Interesting to read, that it is not the usual Indian getting cheated out of the third gender members of this land but the local willies get shafted too (pun intended)!

Hong Kong is sinking and mainland China will step in sooner or later. All those protests fan into open fire and give mainland China all the reasons to „intervene“.
Get ready for a very nasty, ugly end - and the beauty of the whole disaster is, that at the end it is the Americans fault - again. The second Indochina war springs to mind again. The North Vietnamese started breaking the peace and neutrality accords of Geneva which got noticed by Kennedy. Instead of addressing the issue with the UN in New York they opted for a direct „assistance“ which resulted in one of the nastiest wars, post WW2 that is.
Maybe someone rings the UN and asks for mediation; this means that you have to wake up those hundreds of diplomats in New York - but it is done for a good cause ???? -
I never got to terms with the fact that anybody in his right mind would borrow money from banks which do not know the difference between a mortgage and a normal credit loan which is offered at staggering Yearly interest rates closer to 10% than to 5% against collaterals which are usually 200%+ of the loan. It also takes more than a month to get a loan approved (so I am being told) hence a good business opportunity might be lost for an investor simply because the banks are poking noses and scratching you-know-what.
All the others with no collaterals, no financial educations whatsoever etc. are feeding the ever-present loan sharks, albeit at interest rates of 4% - 10%; per month that is.
So, while they figure out how to get the money (cheap) out of the Social Security Insurance they simultaneously look into increasing loans. To the benefit of who please?-

1996 springs to mind. The IMF told the Bank of Thailand then to let the Thai Baht float freely which - of course - did not happen as Thais do not need alien advice. 1st July 1997 then came and the Bank of Thailand had no other choice but to let the Baht go - which triggered off the Asian Financial Crisis. Between February 1996 and June 1997 zillions of FOREX was purchased cheap (against few Baht); in spring 1998 then those FOREX got sold back into Baht. To give you an idea of the magnitude; Febuary 1996 you had to spend 23 Baht for 1 US-Dollar; two years later 1 US-Dollar would get 50+ Baht. The rest is mathematics and the titanic currency loss was shouldered by the Thai farmers seeing an increase of a chicken egg from 1 Baht to 3 Baht etc.
Financial institutions went belly up; not one but a total of 56 out of 57. The Bangkok Bank of Commerce (remember that tremendous f“ç*%*“k up?) went South and the Indian (Rakesh or something) with a Canadian passport was crucified. Latter for good reason but all the Thai executives must still be hanging around on golf courses, massage parlours (for health reasons, of course) and enjoying life.
Tapping a social security fund is a legal No No in most countries for the very reason, that neither the state nor private banks can fiddle around with the funds. There is also absolutely no monetary need for that; if the Bank of Thailand would ease all those medieval currency controls etc. then the Thai Baht would nosedive against most currency basket currencies. Commercial banks these days give you - if you are lucky - 1.75% interest per annum on fixed deposits; I remember days when you got 10% to 12% (even from reputable international banks).
I paid into the mandatory Thai Social Security Insurance for almost 30 years (cumulative hundreds of thousands of Baht). Upon hitting 60 years of age I was told that this is just for Khon Thai and alien are not entitled to benefits! Not that I need that money for survival but it shows you how things work.
If the government or the banks get their little stinky sticky fingers into that till, then you can kiss that non-financial insurance institution a very big „Good Bye“. Be warned, the writing is on the wall in capital letters AND in Braille!-

Another exemplary sample of idiocy in Thailand‘s education system - keep up the good work and create another generation of mostly braindead underlings you can lie at, cheat and buy votes without the ability of common sense approach to the challenges of the 21st century.
Well done !-

You have done all the comparisons with these other 4 airlines on all the routes and all flight date iterations already? That was fast work! You must have been up all night and very tired, no?
I fly weekly all over Indochina and long haul to Europe and trust me, TG is and remains - for the time being - my last choice.
Is it because 70% is owned by the Ministry of Finance - which might be good in financial matters - but has seriously not the slightest clue of how to run an airline?
LCC might drop destinations on short notice, TG has cancelled various flights to/from Europe which was a major inconvenience as it so happened to be communicated normally upon check-in.
I still wonder how i.e. AY (Finnair) can operate two daily flights to Central Europe, punctually, professionally with European crew at hundreds of dollars cheaper than TG. But yeah, luckily the passenger has the choice - which explains partly the massive losses TG accrued over the years - with little learning effect it seems ???? -
