Foreign reserves are controlled by the Bank of Thailand and CANNOT by law be used for domestic purposes. I doubt this mickey mouse govt can get around that one without causing a crisis of confidence in the baht that would seriously damage exports and lead to suspicions that Thailand was becoming a failed state.

cyberfarang Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The government really are completely out of touch with the real world. Do they seriously believe that soapy massage parlours and karaoke bars are legitimate businesses, have set price lists and will give customers VAT registered receipts. Visit a soapy massage, choose a hooker, pay and ask for a receipt, then see how far you will get. This is so pathetic that I can`t even find this funny.

natway09 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The whole scheme proposed is flawed anyway. All it does is give the rich a Christmas / New year further tax break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always that worry, of course. It was seriously contemplated back in 97 and again in 08, but the potential for damage to the country made even the most desperate pollie cringe. Anyway, any hint that Thailand was becoming a failed state would cause too much loss of face -- and we all know how Thais hate to lose face.

Elkski Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 This pretty much tells us who owns lots of soapy's!! I'm a bit naive. And a germaphobe. How do they wash the air mattress? Does a soapy come with an option of no happy ending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Next stop NK Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 It says "soapy" massage, shouldn't it say greasy?
