Recommended Posts

Probably a wise decision. With no work, no income, no food, the proverbial will be hitting the fan soon.

 

Though you have to wonder if the best decision to end hunger in Thailand is to shoot the ppr and needy

Why not make it a permanent feature.

 

Sure to boost tourism. Can just imagine the new TAT ads.

Reminds me of the PI. Armed guards (shotguns) in every shop, bank, etc.

Maybe better to give poor people money so they don't starve. Girls have told me they can't get the 5k a month, i think they need to have an official job already

There is no way they can know that. Thais cannot try to claim until 8am in the morning 28th March, anything being said at the moment is pure rumour.

In the Philippines Almost every security guard is packing at least a shotgun, and often much more.

When you got to convenience store there, you always see armed guard(s) in the front of the stores.

 

Seems to work well there, armed robberies are fairly rare.

For sure,i saw one at a burger outlet and a sign,'Thieves will get a lead burger'

I don't know the detail, i just passed the story onto some girls and lets say they weren't optimistic, one said she couldn't get it, hopefully they will be able to

Sawn off shotguns are the norm at gold shops in KL>

The looting is of course going to get worse.

One lady in Saraburi already has had a lot of her stored tin food taken at knife point
