They focus on micro mniature aspect of major problem

And then, if a farang should kick a dog, the police and Thai's would be screaming for blood, heavy penalties, jail time, and banning from Thailand. Just too pathetic to comprehend.

Without doubt, Trump would benefit America far more than Hillary. The US is in desperate need of radical change. Such change can only be undertaken and executed by an outsider free of powerful entrenched centers.

THIS IS TERRIFIC……. GIVE IT WIDER PUBLICITY PLEASE….. IT DESERVES GOVERNMENT SUPPORT AND TV COVERAGE…….

Certainly a problem………..

However, consider the plight of the policeman who killed one to defend himself and his wife!!! Rest assured, nothing will be done……….. Thai's like it that way…………. Moreover, dogs with owners also roam the streets, nipping at the backs of your legs, barking, etc. This is Thai culture!!

Bill and Hillary, the most vicious criminals ever in the American political world. Its simple and well documentted.

Simplistic, topical remedies will not cure the deeper and broader issues facing Thailand…. For sure.

Nice to see that Thai medicine is catching up with world advanced medical practice. Pity that it was advertised as "cutting edge" which it definitely not.

Stupid and mentally slow learn slowly….. but with persistent effort and a more conscious police, accidents will decline… Stay the course

Medical skills range widely at Ram. Experience in dermatology, opthamology, plastic surgery (leg) and cancerous tumor surgical removal. My ER experience and diagnosis of leg infection was disastrous. Mis-diagnosis of my leg cost me major surgery and 4 months in hospital following complicated skin graft (plastic surgery). Good doctor - inept doctor - Russian roulette … beware.

There's typically only a single doctor on duty overnight at RAM and that for the emergency dept AND the in patients, specialists are however on call although typically the Provincial Hospital (right around the corner) is the first escalation point - it's likely that the ER doctor that night was called elsewhere in the hospital. I don't know of any hospital in Chiang Mai that has a cardiologist on duty, 24 hours a day.

Adam is spot on! He's sharing a thought that should be considered. But then, the one's who should listen most, are tone -deaf …. to most everything.. :-)

Oh my! I just can't bear to think that Thailand would consider hiring any foreigner to assist with any problem. After all, Thai's don't won't foreigners to bring skills to the land of smiles. The elites might not get their customary rake off. And worse, the foreigners might want to get "paid" a tad bit more than locals! and that would be humiliating and unfair….

A realistic way to "stimulate" the Thai economy is (a) to strengthen the work force skills and ( to dismantle the feudal system that throttles underlying competitiveness, particularly among the Asean group where Thailand is losing rapidly. Elements of work force weakness are poor education featuring memorization without the ability to reason, as well as horrible language skills.

Bureaucracy is killing foreign investment both multinational and entrepreneurial.

What bunk!

The author lives in a tree!

You know how the elite manage the feudal system?? They keep it - with passion

Pathetic Education Ministry. Sheer lunacy.

For sure, as the previous reader noted, there is absolutely NO mention or even an indirect reference to foreign buying….. More importantly, foreigners cannot own real estate in Thailand…….. only Thais and especially Thai wives of foreigners………

Talk is all SMOKE!

These folks will beat their gums and do nothing....... what a laugh...

Thais do not speak English............ "may I hell you?" there are only 100 Thais that can be understood.

While the US breaks and bends every conceivable moral code there is, it arrogantly putting the squeeze on Thailand....... As an American, I resent very much the antics of the US government. Of course, I don't condone the shady things that ocurr in Thailand, but the US would be well advised to clean up its own act.

Work habits and practices change - largely due to idiot politicians attempting to manipulate a system, in response to prodding by vested interests. In Thailand, who knows for sure, but ostensibly to prohibit educated foreigners from competing for work cherished by Thais. Also provides hush money for corrupt police.

In the US, moronic laws block kids from earning money for their education and spending.... Can't cut lawns, can't delivery newspapers, tiny kids can't sell lemonade......... but this will not change. The more nit wits in public office looking for graft and corruption money, the worse it will get.

2010 I experienced 90% blockage in the heart and died; I was resusitated and admitted to Intensive care. Doctors wanted to insert stent - I refused. Doctors prescribed pile of meds with statins which i used for only 120 days, then started vegetarian diet. My first diet was not well enough planned so my lipids went back up. Then, I adapted Dr. Esselstyn's diet of no meat, no dairy, no OIL, and more. That diet reduced my CHL, LDL, Triglicerides, and VLDL by more than the hospital did with all its powerful medicines and the dangerous side effects. I now swim 1 to 2 km daily and adhere to a "Vegan plus diet"

Happy tp share the stats but do not know how to post the chart on this reply method.....

Hospital improvements: CHL down 111 points, LDL down 59 points, Triglicerides down 237 points

Diet improvements: CHL down 154 points, LDL down 11 points, Triglicerides down 111 points

Remember, doctors make money on medications and surgery..... no profit for them in changing your diet.

Good luck.....

The file photo is NOT from China........ simply look at the blue sky above.......

Along with all the vailed accusations, would someone please explain how the corruption was presumed to work? How was it manipulated? Where and how was the money being syphoned off? Thanks

Awh shucks folks, Just like the USA......... Obama would be right at home.
