The umbrella is a nice touch 

And then we wonder why this place is <deleted>

Difficult to understand the Thai property market.....or at least it is for me. Endless projects and most seem to be standing empty or very limited occupancy for years on end.

It's simple, there is too much "dirty" money floating around that need to be parked somewhere.

It's all about 'face' not finance. I live on a moobaan of 62 houses costing about 4 million apiece.  Some are for rent & there are no end of enquiries but the owners are intransigent - they set their mind's eye on 25-30 K per month and refuse anything lower.  One house has a rent of 15,000 - it has never been empty in the ten years I have lived here.

Seems for most of the people here 100% of nothing is better than 1% of something 

Sod the rest

The path to oblivion had been well paved all this time.. Some manage to see the light but usually they get shot down asap. The allegory of the cave describes the situation in Thailand very well...

There is an invisible angel lane along the middle of the road available for bus drivers to make headway.   

 

 

I liked the decorative "do not overtake sign".. Actually everything on the roads here are purely decorations..

Not sure if the "brake failure" excuse has become more common than the "sick buffalo" one.

That is the prevailing mindset of many in Asia.  Even if person emigrates to another country and becomes a Naturalized Citizen he or she is still considered a Thai, Korean or Chinese.  

Yes, it's a common propaganda which feeds chauvinism and at the same time tries to deflect from the real reasons why people decide to leave their countries.

How about speedbumps every 50m on the highways?

Reminds me of the videos posted by a some guys on Youtube who use the BeamNG software

Gives the saying "take the money and run" a new perspective.

It's not fun anymore when the tables have turned..

As long as you don't ask the wrong questions and rock the boat.

Must have been wired to the wooden window frame :D

Thailand 4.0..

And this is the look on their faces..

Submarines.. priorities.. 

It suits the serfdom establishment so don't expect changes anytime soon unless it benefits those who make the rules.

I can see the reason for having the fan blowing the officer.. 

And this is the head of the Thai/Chinese Chamber of Commerce. One can imagine the transparency and legality of decisions made there.. buahahaha..

That's funny, was just listening to "I don't care" by Patsy Kensit :D

After divorcing him, she married a German and stayed with him in Germany for 13 years.

 

No wonder that house design looked familiar.. 

Like a good boss checking how business is doing..

More hilarious than Schrödinger's cat..
