There's only some much true wealth to go around.
.....and after that this supposed wealth and subsequent economies become highly fabricated and falsified - relying largely on the deluded fantasies in which we seek.
It's quite apparent that economies the world over use this practice as normalcy.
Simple solution.
Don't reside here on a non O/non O-A visa.....marriage/retirement visas.
Still astounded as to the number of old hands or long-timers that have bought into this nonsense.
Whoops.
How conveniently such realities are forgotten and dismissed when too many are obsessively focused regarding their everything Thaksin agendas. Your slight whataboutism comments [and many other examples brought to light] are spot on as such relates as the larger pictures being missed. Cheers...
On the contrary, very believable.
There have been more than a few nasty atrocities akin to Hok Tula of contemporary times and of the historic past.....all of which tend to be whitewashed from surface memory and historic accounts.
Which is always swept under the rug.
Personal history and general character has little to do with these types of appointments.
Birds of a feather kinda thing.
More importantly might be to address the ever-growing draconian and unnecessary bureaucracy attached to so-call resident/long term visas.
As in: Pre-Taksin era.
All of which is easily manipulated and carefully coordinated. Has little to do with respective economic conditions.
What's more pathetic are those who consider the exchange rate to be real and desperately dependent on it as if it is [real].
Who really are these foreign business leaders that might be questioning such policies?
I want names and their business affiliations.....or it doesn't exist.
A story that is created to misdirect or distract?
