It's not perfectly clear, but means foreigners think Prayut is doing a better job than Thai locals do. A stupid question to ask tourists as they probably barely know who Prayut is!

wealthychef Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 16 hours ago, Samui Bodoh said: 77.5% said that the best thing about Thailand was the economic development? Whaaaaaaaat? The authors of this story about a poll are so brain-damaged that they should be forced to wear a helmet 24/7 for their own protection. I think if you ask a tourist, they will be comparing to places like Cambodia etc and saying, yes Bangkok is developed very well. And they give villages in the country a pass because they are supposed to be poor. They are not talking about what you are thinking about if you live here.

wealthychef Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I'm pretty sure this poll must have been done by people standing at the airport or the Grand Palace. Definitely 0% are people that live here ongoingly. I'm also noticing the lack of "medical" as a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shackleton Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 As has been pointed out this survey was asking visitors to Thailand Considering Bangkok is rated as one of the top cities to visit for its culture food. Ect not surprising visitors rate it high good job the survey was not asking retired expats here as quite a few seem to want to give negative responses I think a few need to look at themselves and ask the question why did I retire here then moan about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So.... in the real world, the headlines would be screaming about how badly pm prayut would loose in a snap election, with a 45% approval rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So which of the above have been made worse under Prayuth? Are beaches tourist places? conversely, one could ask, which have been made better? Regards better, we be already seen that he’s made corruption better, jumping from a ranking of 80ish to 101 during the last survey period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRIMMY Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Anyone who was surveyed and rated Prayut above 5 obviously has no idea who he is and how he has <deleted>*ked up this country. Anomalous results on a worthless survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
