  1. More brilliant strategy from Pipat, and the group which has no experience in tourism and promotion. Let us try to put another roadblock in the way of progress. Thailand seems to have gone out of their way to make themselves repulsive to alot of people, as a nation. Not the people. I love the people here. It is the stupendous degree of arrogance, hubris, ignorance, racism, hatred of foreigners, and the stunning lack of vision, on the part of the fabulously incompetent leaders and ministers here. It is really turning off the planet to Thailand. If they could only see how they are perceived. Such ignoramus fools. 

     

    Now, after years and years of fake nationalist ranting, and insufferable arrogance, they are really starting to pay the price, and they are getting exactly what they so wholeheartedly deserve, which is to be shunned by the planet. Oh well. 

     

    We sow what we reap. We make the bed, and then we have to lie within it. 

     

    If only we could say to these fools: don't be arrogant, because arrogance kills curiosity and passion. Arrogance is knowledge minus wisdom. Arrogance is blind to the stumbling block. Arrogance is a roadblock on the highway of wisdom.

    I remember a (little Oud) comment of a couple of weeks back as if it were yesterday:-

     

    "Be nice to the tourists, we need their money"

     

     

    Is it possible someone had a "conversation" with him already? I tend to think so. He sure changed his attitude. Nothing like the threat of dismissal to make a man behave more reasonably and rationally.

    "The same probably applies to the army." They ARE Army without the uniforms! And the same applies to the police! A friend of my Thai wife has a son who wanted to join the police. She was told "Oh, it costs a lot of money to join the police"!

     

     

    Of course it does. You are buying a franchise, much the same as a 7/11, Taco Bell, etc., but without the hassle or expense of a storefront.

    That is some serious hate. Nothing wrong with expressing your opinion but what is bizarre is considering the above, why would you want to live here? 

    I have a few dozen reasons. All of that dislike is directed at the government, the army, and the ministers. I love most Thai people. It is the leaders that are the real problem here.

  5. That is totally bizarre. What is this, the Soviet union in 1952? I would never allow that. I would resist this kind of thing with all my might. What is happening, is that the extreme racism, xenophobia and hatred of foreigners on the part of the hapless, and useless army, is trickling down to some parts of society. This is not a good trend, and does not bode well for the future of the nation, nor for our future here. It is based on total ignorance, as is the case with nearly all the policy coming out of this incompetent and racist administration.

    He later apologized, but not to foreigners. He said he was sorry for losing it. He despises foreigners, as he is a racist, a bigot a xenophobe, and a fake nationalist. He knows nothing about anything. He has no background in health. If he knew anything he would be encouraging people to scrub their hands thoroughly ten times a day, which is infinitely more effective than wearing a mask. But, how would he know that? After all, he is only the health minister.

    Depends which real estate markets you're talking about. The United States is not a monolithic market. States and areas attracting healthy migration and business, like Texas, have healthy, increasing real estate market prices.

    The prices in New York, which historically have been a bellwether for the rest of the nation, and typically happen about two years prior to the rest of the nation following suit, have been dropping for over a year now. Properties which were selling for near asking prices, and selling within 15 days, are now being discounted by up to 30% or more, and taking an average of 450 days to sell. Same with higher end properties in Los Angeles. Likewise, the rental markets at the higher end, have been dropping in both areas. Just wait. The US is in for some massive financial reckoning. The economy is a house of cards.

  8. And what about the Thai people who do not wear a mask? Will their citizenship be revoked? Does Anutin realize how inane he sounds? Does he understand that Thailand is in the midst of an unprecedented tourism crisis? Does he not have any perception of how harmful these racist rants are? And this coming from a man who has zero experience in the "health" field, and was appointed minister of health. Bizarre. Lame. Dumb. Non-visionary. Inept. Creepy. 

     

    Again Prayuth demonstrates how totally ill prepared he is to lead his country, and to deal with anything bordering on a crisis situation. He appoints these clowns. What can one say?

  9. Nobody knows a thing about his past, nor how Pipat made his fortune. Yet, he knows all. He is a seer, and can predict the future. We all must take comfort, that with his vision and wisdom, the common Thai is being looked after. After all, this administration is a pure meritocracy, right?

     

    For Pipat I offer this advice. The line between ambition and obsession can be much thinner than one might imagine. You would be well served to look down and see exactly where you are standing.
