  1. I don't believe their figures.   People up here in The North are struggling with ever increasing bills for Gas, Electricity and the price of Pork and Chicken has stopped thousands eating anything but very small portions of Meat.

     

    On our weekly visits to Supermarkets there are times when they are like Ghost Towns; particularly after the halfway point in the month.   The cost of almost all Consumer Goods is up whilst Wages remain static.

     

    Rigging Economic Fugures is easy in The Land of Lies.

    I noticed that Singapore is the only country that doesn’t care what you want, in terms of visa length, but gives what they think you deserve. Clearly they are not dependent on tourists as one of the region’s most boring destinations (never understand why people go there except for business). They have developed their business without much heavy manufacturing.

    If Thailand could get its act together, investing in education and business, perhaps this would not make the length of stay such an issue.

    Just one small problem; Thailand is totally incapable of 'Getting its act Together'.   And; never forget the Xenophobia factor !

    But that was 46 years ago and Thailand is far more visible internationally now than it was then

     

    Whilst the military have large numbers, the majority are unwilling conscripts who also have guns. In addition they have mobile phones and access to the internet.

     

    What would the military leaders do if the conscripts refuse to shoot the protestors? Remember that they also have guns and if you shoot a few there are a lot more left, and they will not be happy troops.

    What the Military Leaders would do is jump on waiting Planes to take them to their plush homes in other countries already bought and paid for with dirty money.  No doubt they would award themselves another Medal for being clever enough to leave the turmoil they created.
