  1. All that property paperwork must've been all Greek to him.

    Is that an attempt at being humorous?

    If so, you failed miserably.

    On a personal note, I truly hope you get proper stitched up and some two-bob nothing on a public forum comes out with a two-bob comment.

    Looks like I struck lucky and got a one-bob comment direct from a one-bob nothing without even getting stitched up.

  2. The Thai pickers were not employed by the company and therefore were not getting paid to do the work. Instead they were being paid for the berries they pick. This is tax-free income in Finland.

    The Thai pickers were complaining that they were not taken good care and the locations where they were picking berries were not good enough for them to make a good money. They have also taken loans in Thailand with 5%/month interest rate. This is becoming an burden.

    Then very leftist (ex communist party) member of parliament and few others who started to say that bringing Thais to do the work is almost like human trafficking.

    After this the group of Thais stopped to work and the company who was managing the operation got them tickets back home. Thais refused after being told by the 'supporters' not to. It's all big mess now.

    Finns consider all people equal and have low tolerance of companies who are exploiting low level workers. On other countries the Thais would have already been kicked out already.

    These are the things I picked up from Finnish medias. I guess the truth of all of this will come out someday.. and Finland taxpayers will probably pay the show.

    Interesting post - thank you.

    I wonder what would happen to Finnish or indeed any other nationalities in similar situations in Thailand.

    Would Thailand respect their Human Rights and dignity?

    One word - Burmese.
