Would You Like To See Thailand Fail ?

[Vespa]

How many would like to see the floor drop out ?

I was always taught to "Clap The Winner" when deserved.

But I would not mind sitting back and watching all the wai giving ass kissers having to bob down and kiss it goodbye.

Would You Like To See Thailand Fail ?, A Big Case of Som Nom Nah ?

no way .....................................

just learn the painful lesson ONCE and be done with it

[jumnien]

Absolutely not! Thailand is a wonderful country and the bulk of the people are lovely, hard-working, friendly people. Besides, it's my home!

[Jingthing]

I don't want them to fail.

I don't want Thailand to become SINGAPORE either!

I am kind of worried what will happen when you know what that we aren't allowed to talk about happens.

Thailand 'failing' will only affect those who can least afford to protect themselves, while those in power will continue to go on as is.

What you want will take another 100 years to achieve.

No, wouldn't that make me a small-minded person indeed? To wish failure on an entire nation and its people is petty to the nth degree.

[endure]

Why would I want to the see the lives of 60 million people made a misery, especially when many of those people are hugely talented? I want to see it succeed and allow the talents of the Thai to shine through.

[alexth]

There is no way I would like to see them failing, but it seems they are going on the wrong way and very few thais realize it, let alone doing something about it.

The truth is that they do need a lesson, but I'm afraid this one is too harsh and the consequences will be way too severe.

About Thailand becoming a new Singapore, that I wouldn't mind, they could be better than Singapore, they have more resources, they're a bigger country, just try and see people more educated and the cities cleaner, less corruption and more hobest people, it would be a paradise, unfortunately this would be too good to be true...

[Jingthing]

I think if many of us were really honest, we would admit we don't want them to succeed too much and too fast. How many of us would still be here if overnight Thailand had the cost levels of Japan or France?

apples and oranges ,

Bangkok and the South are way overpriced already

[Ijustwannateach]

I'd like to see certain *individuals* get a big lesson, but things just don't work that way here. The people who pay are almost always innocent of the wrongdoing.

[MiG16]

Im not sure I understand the purpose of this thread? what is the point of it? fail? in what way? to waht avail? for what purpose? Im truly baffled by this question..mainly why would anyone even think about wanting an entire nation to 'fail'? whatever you mean by that....

wouldnt even go further into ....oh nevermind.......

[Acquiesce]

What a stupid question, though reading the threads in the finance section it appears there are many here who would rather see Thailand crash and burn so they can get an extra B10 for the dollar than see Thailand and her people prosper.

Personaly i think these people are lowlifes to live amongst the people and claim they like them and the country but secretly (or openly on the www) wanting the country to colapse.

SCUM.

Sad but indeed, true.

Spot on. Apparently those individuals turned into vicious animals and yes, the people who pay are always, no matter where on the world, the innocent ones. History showed us that changes were always paid for by the people who would not be there to see the better future or worst, a worst one

The present doesn't look better either, let alone the future

[Jingthing]

SCUM.

Feel better now?

Fail economically?

Of course!

My money would buy me more, and more than 90% of the Thaipopulation wouldn't even recognize any changes in their lives .

Don't be so sure that would help farangs. To overcome the hardship, watch double pricing magically turn into quadruple pricing.

[mangoman007]

No way. Nicest people in the world. The airport is a tragedy however

I would like to see the new airport fail so we can all go back to using Don Muang...

And yet, another brainfart

That is no nonsense talk,a bit sarcastic,but so trough.

Unfortunately you do not have one. Can we please stay on topic here?

[Patex]

quadruple pricing.

No problem with a centruple exchangerate

[Cyberstar]

All of my income comes in the shape of Baht - and all of my expenses are paid in Baht ... I'm not sure: What does "Thailand fails" actually mean? Does it mean that foreigners (90% of my customers) can't afford to come here? Does it mean that Thailand's export will go down into the drain? What the heck does OP mean, really?

[sonthaya]

No I don't want to see that, I love Thailand and its friendly people.

Edited January 28, 2007 by sonthaya

[kmart]

No. Not at all. But Thailand seems determined to repeat past mistakes and never seems to have the will for change; or the political will to take some stiff medicine.

I love this country and the people, but sadly and selfishly I feel that if a lot of things I don't like about this country changed radically overnight, then all the things I like about here would be gone too.

[Ulysses G.]

I already saw Thailand "fail" in 1997 and no one learned a thing.

I wouldn't wish it on them again.
