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

Execute him by pushing him down a set of steps while blindfolded and his hands tied....

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 !

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.

The question is if his brain worked better or worse after this incident. 

What Brain ?

Only 40 years too late then !

Once a marked man, always a marked man. Nowhere for fugitives to hide, even in the most remote corners of this planet. It's just a matter of time and GPS coordinates. 

Yeah right; that's why the Red Bull Punk continues to evade Justice !

Nice fantasy, boomer. 
 

id like to take a PhD class on Thai psychology, particularly “face,” and crime+punishment. It is honestly fascinating to me and extremely enigmatic how weighty face loss is to them, the insane reaction, and also the very light jail sentences or fines imposed for vicious violence. The lengthy jail sentences deter most people in America from these acts, but in Thailand, I can *sort of* understand how someone would be willing to throw away only a few years of life if it meant absolving a massive degradation to their reputation in a society that prizes it.

 

I’ve read “How Thais Lead,” and “Inside Thai Society,” but it’s only really the window dressing of their psyche. There doesn’t seem to be any kind of true introspective works that are native. 
 

if any of you guys do know some good books on the topic I’d like to read 

All i can tell you is that my Deceased Thai FIL Murdered another Man with a knife in cold blood one night after a drinking session.   The Man who died was his 'best friend'; who after drinking a fair bit said something FIL didn't like and out came the knife.  He was sentenced to 15 years in Prison but was out in 8, never showed any remorse for the rest of his life, never cared that his 'friend' had a young wife and child that were left without any financial support, would happily tell his story of Murder to anyone who would listen.   Understanding these People is difficult indeed.

It will be 'High Speed' until it reaches the Thai Border and then stop !   Still enough to dump all their goods at the Border and undercut Thai prices; same as the Chinese are already doing.

No point in Thai Farmers and Producers complaining when their own Government is more interested in the Personal Wealth gained from buying F35's, Sub's without Engines and People Trafficking.

Luckily our son has a high paying career,he earns 3 times this ,but still complains ,his girlfriend also earns quite a good salery ,but is always broke ,mind you she always has something new to wear

We have a friend who's Son gets 45,000 a month in a really good job but he's always broke because he went out and took Credit on a Crew Cab Pick-Up just for show that he didn't need and wastes loads on Gambling, Drinking, Smoking etc and instead of getting his own place or saving for one he still lives with Mum.   His Mum is not happy but he's told her that he is staying there until she dies and he gets the House !

Neighbours Daughter works for a well known Supermarket and she says they are suffering from ever greater numbers of Thai Shoplifters; mainly of food items and when caught they all breakdown and say they have no money for food or to feed their Families.    Timebomb waiting to explode methinks.

Anyone know of any Cat Boarders around Chiang Mai ?   Can't find anywhere that will look after a Cat while we are away; must be somewhere surely ?

No Money; No Honey .   How much did he offer ?

Pah; those Evil Spirits at work once again !

,,,, yes, the Thai people and the farangs will remember corruption, his hesitation fighting the Covid, his militäray governing style with no respect for different oppinons, his hastily flight to China for "good miliitary" advices, thanked by ordering the Chiese submarines.

 

And all his actions acommpanied by CORRUPTION !!! This is very obvious when you look back at the crazy test & Go scheme, the Thai pass etc. People with some brain recognise that all these overpriced schemes have been full of corruption, accompanied by higher than normal prizes. Guess where the money went to? To people now billionares with a "low" monthly salary of +200.000 THB or less.

 

And most important, you forget every time that he  has got his job by a coup, a criminal action. He should stay in prison in a normal democracy.

All understood but we are in a Country ruled by Gangsters in the cause of Gangsters.    Never kid yourself that Thailand will ever be a 'normal' Democracy or that normal Democratic rules will apply; it's never going to happen !

I wonder how much of the so called 10m debt they still have, my guess would be a lot of it - they need money to live on in Turkey 

No problem; they will get jobs washing up in a Thai Restaurant, that's what all Thai's do abroad !

No point in fitting Engines anyway when they will just lay rusting next to the Aircraft Carrier that is slowly rotting away !
