And where are the Government 'Inspectors' who's job it is to ensure Passenger Safety ? Sitting at home emptying Brown Envelopes no doubt !

Farmers here the same as Fishing Trawler Owners; they don't give a stuff about people's lives or wellbeing, money is their God and they don't care who dies as long as can worship piles of cash.

Majority here are born with sticky fingers; some will live with Relatives until the old ones die to get their hands on any riches while others grow tired of waiting, seen similar cases twice in our Village in the last five years.

We live in Chiang Mai and i haven't driven after dark for about eight years now; it's just not worth all the risks owing to all the Idiots who call themselves Riders and Drivers, the majority who can't pass the very simplest Driving or Riding Tests, don't even turn lights on at Dusk or in Rainy conditions, Riders leaving Indicator Lights on after turning, recklessness when cutting off corners or entering a Main Road from the left, jumping Red Lights etc etc, the list is never ending. No; much easier and safer to stay home after Dusk and let the Idiots all kill or main each other !

They've known about this for at least 25 years and have done nothing about building a new Capital City on higher ground or moving to another City in situ; so let them all drown. Meanwhile; the smart Bangkokians have been buying Property much further North for many years, hence there are thousands of empty second homes in Northern Moobahn's just waiting for people to arrive with wet feet.

Pork went on that list too but it made no difference whatsoever. The Government 'Price Watch Lists' are just window dressing.

NOBODY gets any product into Thailand without greasing palms; so you can be sure any 'Ministers' at these talks will be looking for Brown Envelopes !

Mr CP owns one !

Or working in Government House !

Ah yes; Thailand's famous 'No Fail' policy in use again !

'Officials' happy with that as creaming off the Budget time again !

No News here; normal behaviour !

Just another Junket for him and his Entourage at the expense of the Thai Taxpayer while complaining about the quality of First Class Food on Thai Airways.

Great Idea; let's just call them ''Red Light Area's '' and get on with opening them !

Very sad when the people running the World's largest ''Loony Bin'' cannot see that the joke is on them !!

They are not shouldering the increases at all but passing it on to the Consumers while the Government does nothing !

A small story from a Village in The North. One of my Wife's Nephew's joined the Monkhood aged 12 and his Mother made a very big show of it; 15,000 Baht to the Temple, big party for the whole Village, the Boy was Paraded through the Village on the back of a Donkey to the Temple, normal practice in these parts, lots of pictures taken of him being carried into the Temple etc etc and when all the Ceremony was over the serious drinking began and went on for the rest of the day and into the night, i've never seen so many drunk Monks in one place, and all this with the Local Police joining in as well.. ! Over the course of the next six months the Boy would come home fairly frequently to see Mum and each time he would bring money; as much as 5,000 Baht per trip and give it to Mum. I saw this happen twice with my own eyes and asked my Wife what it was all about and she said the Head Monk told him to take some money home to Mum as the Temple had too much money and if it was left at the Temple people would want to steal it. I said ..''Well; who would want to steal money from a Temple ?'' Wife said...''The Monks will steal it for Booze'' !

Steps about 50 Meters high should do it !

They need to put their money where their mouth is then and bring Childrens Car Seats down to a price people can afford; have you seen the price of them here ? Anyway; more window dressing to make it appear to The World (yes; that big place outside the Bubble that Thailand lives in ) that all is well for Health&Safety in La La Land !

And next year they will predict 2024 will be 'The Year' !

Every week when we go to Supermarkets we see Monks pushing Trolly's around and buying the best quality foods and as much Whiskey as they can carry. They obviously think the best way to reach Nirvana is to eat, drink and be merry ! Still; you have to blame the naive Sheeple for giving them all the money to do it with....Idiots !

We know severql 'Teachers' and they are all only interested in the job because of the Pension. We also have a friend that works for the Government in a better job and she told us people only want to become Teachers when they can't get a better job....again for the Pension. Not many have an actual interest in teaching Children.

Shame; but predictable as it's been a Ghost Town really since the bulk Immigration moved out. Went in there about a month ago and there were less than 20 people walking around. We've lost the best Rimping in Chiang Mai !

What Brain ?

Only 40 years too late then !
