The only thing that motivates the RTP is CASH; so if the Government offered than a couple of million to find him they would do so. Anyway; this is all smoke and mirrors just to make it look like Prayut and the other Gangsters he works with are actually interested in finding the Scum, which of course they are not !
They are not there to 'protect' the Thai people but like the Army, who are there to 'supress' the people as required by one Corrupt Government after another !
Agreed; in the 16 years i've lived here i've travelled widely and Poverty is just about everywhere in the Country. In that 16 years the 'Middle Class' seems to have grown; mainly Government Civil Servants with better wages and Pensions to follow but so many of the Poor seem to be no better off at all and the current 'Government' (Bully Boy Thieves) have done nothing to help of any real consequence. The Banks and Lending Institutions are reckless and just make matters worse.
A change of Government may make things somewhat better but judging by past History that may be a forlorn hope !
They are insular by nature and have this incredible belief they are 'Superior' to Foreigners; a very misplaced belief. Also; owing to their idiotic refusal to learn and use English as a Business tool they are left out in the cold by many Foreign Countries and Companies. They also cannot stand Academic or price competition; virtually everything based on Corruption.
In a few years they will be bottom of every Table in Asia; it's coming, just a matter of time.
Every Cop in our Local Villages bet on anything and everything they can and would have to be arresting all their Colleagues and Neighbours . Ain't gonna happen apart from a few shows down South for window dressing.
Closer to 2030 more likely; obsolete before Launch and unwanted to start with. Only wanted by those we know will be pocketing millions of Baht for themselves !
Been hearing how good it's going to be since 2000 but i'll most likely be ashes before it's complete. Still waiting for the Bangkok-Chiang Mai section that Yingluck bought the Lunch Boxes for and was going to be 'open' in 2016; Jokers, Chest Beaters and Flag Wavers the lot of them !
