Hello, it looks like the Thai government is making the numbers look good for their loans. We might see something different next year as the revenues will be down, but it is not as bad as what the US is doing with their quantitative easing. I would like to see an easing of the business rules for foreign companies to invest more in Thailand, and that would stimulate job growth to help the Thai people. Cheers.

Hello, I hope the Thai government will us this cooling down period to educate the Thai people about this process. Many families support both sides of this conflict so it would not be good to have brother against brother in the streets. I hope for whatever is good for the people in Thailand, and any violence would not be good for business again.

Hello, it is good to buy a property if you can spare the money. Renting would throw your money away as you can buy new things if you choose to live in Thailand again, and the new things would be up to date. There is too much risk in renting a long way from home, and you can pay someone to look after a property so you will have some peace of mind. Good luck with your decision, and maybe you will have a better attitude about Thailand after being away. Cheers.

Hello, I am shocked to hear any allegations of corruption inside the police organization. Do they know it is who you know that will get them a promotion, or should they try to work hard and do it the more difficult way? We will not know as this will be swept under the rug with most of the other objections.

Hello, I do not understand why a mechanic in a garage would have laughing gas. It is a good story, but I think it is a load of manure. Good luck with your jokes. Cheers.

Hello, we do not know if the people on the web site own the house so they might not have the right to sell it or raffle it. There is no way to know if they are honest or if it is another scam. Maybe if they had shown some experience and documented proof in their desire to raffle any property we could take them more serious. It has better odds than a lottery if it is real, but they need to do a better job at making people feel at ease so they know it is a good thing. Cheers.

Hello, this might motivate more disabled people to get a better life for themselves as many people feel sorry for what they are given to work with. It should be a good thing for them to help with the economic situation of their family, and they will not feel like they are a burden. Good luck for this program, and I hope more disabled people will take advantage of this.

Hello, this meeting would only serve as a photo opportuntity so maybe the polititians can find a different venue. Do we know what this meeting would be about, or is it only talk for the newspapers and television? The world will not suffer from this cancellation, but the hotels and other busineses will not get as much money.

Hello, it is difficult to distinguish between bad weather affecting the instruments or poor judgement to incite a reaction. It is better to use a better argument for people to respect your position, and force will only make people more defensive. I do not understand what any military air excercise would be productive close to the Cambodian border other than to anger them, or maybe they want to make them fear the potential force.

Hello, it is good that the red shirt people try to follow the accepted laws to voice their opinions and views. It is good they let the Thai government know their intentions so more police and military people can get ready to protect Thailand from the thugs. Maybe the people need more jobs so they are too busy to worry about politics, and this is action is only bought and paid for by Thaksin.

Hello, you might want to try some web sites as the bar scene is not so intense at Jomtien. I have used latestays.com and passionasia.com in a recent way, and they have some customer comments so you will know more. Good luck and use good judgement when you choose a place there. Cheers.

Hello, I hope this move will be much better for the people as they deserve better conditions so they do not get as depressed. Maybe the Thai government can decide what to do with them soon as their life is on hold, but they need medical help as well as legal help to take them away from their detention. It is a good move that the Thai government did so maybe the people will be treated like humans and not hated animals.

Hello, it is important for the government to promote more Thai cultural festivals so that the Thai people would not lose their identity in this modern world. It could stimulate the economy if they advertise these events to other countries, and it is good for more people to understand more about the Thai people and the culture. Cheers.

Hello, this is the cooling down period so more riots do not happen in Bangkok. Maybe the government can take this time to educate the Thai people as to what the laws are in amnesty, and Thaksin can pay for more red shirt meetings to gain sympathy while we wait. It is only a political game we must endure, and I hope the Thai people will understand more after this experience. Cheers.

Hello, this is consistant with the rest of the world as the economic conditions get better. The exchange rates need to get more export friendly to help Thailand and the people, and this is a conservative way to make things better. I hope that the banks will try to ease the loan restrictions to stimulate the economy, and the government will have to work with the private industries to get things going in a positive way so more people can get a good paying job. Cheers.

Hello, the short skirts are not appropriate in this circumstance. This is a time for them to wear the uniform of business so that maybe people will take them serious. It is the message they must say and not the package, allthough the package can get the attention of all involved. The time for short skirts and tight shirts is after school, and they must learn when to where what in which context. Cheers.

Hello, do the Thai people need or want more problems or another coup? Most of the Thai people I talk with are angry with the coup talks and people making trouble there. Talk is cheap, but to support more problems in Thailand would be crazy. Cheers.

Hello, I am all for more high-speed broadband in Thailand as some places do not get good connections. It will cost a lot, but the investors should be looking in the long term as the internet will be here a long time. Cheers.

Hello, it is an unfortunate fact about the dishonest BIB in Thailand. Your friend is lucky he was not shot for taking a picture using the no witness rule of thugs. It is a good lesson so that it is not a good idea to take more than an ID and 1,000 baht with you, and be very polite so they do not think they will lose face. Cheers.

Hello, I have heard of some people getting live crabs at Nana. These are the kind you will not want to eat, but the fresh water crabs are not bad from the rivers. Cheers.

Hello, I hope this will attract more of a variety of new films from America. There are many more films than go to Thailand in the theaters, but some make it to dvd early in the street markets. I fear the Thai government will try to keep more films out, but we can still look for them in the markets. Cheers.

Hello, this is a total scam and you should mess with them as much as possible. Maybe the BIB should be aware of this in Thailand, and it is an easy investigaton for them if they have a phone number and mail address. Cheers.

Hello, it might be a good thing to check the internet and look for smoke in the streets before we go out on the streets. The red shirts might get angry again when Thaksin will not get his pardon. There is not enough people to support a coup this time in Thailand. The yellow, red, and blue shirts are split on too many things, and from what I have been hearing most Thai people do not want any problems like what has happened from the red shirts in the last year.

Hello, this man should get a strong team of attorneys that can access any evidence in England because he is looking at too much time in a Thai prison. Good luck to him, and I hope there is no panic from changing money from farang in Thailand.

Hello, this surrender was only a formality as Japan occupied Thailand and killed many thousands of Thai people as well as the Allied POWs so the line is blured. Thailand was under duress as Japan would have taken it by force, but many more Thai people would have been killed that way so Thailand entered the agreement with Japan. It was only a short time that Thailand had to wait before the defeat of Japan, and the Thai people got their country back.
