Popular Post webfact Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 By James Wilson and Cod Satrusayang This second round of lockdown has seen some of the most heart-breaking consequences of failed government policy, doubly so as all of this could have been avoided. From a country that once praised itself for being able to contain the spread of the virus, we have transitioned to a country that is now struggling to get beds for the sick. Our frontline workers are on their last legs trying to provide care to those that need it while temple crematoriums work overtime to accommodate the dead.

Thailand is nothing but a corrupt third wold country. I never had any doubts, and was argued against when I voiced them in the company of other farangs. Shopping malls, mass transit, apartment blocks, modern military hardware, foreign investment etc. mean nothing when you have a thoroughly corrupt and ineffective judicial system, regular military coups, a dysfunctional government, bloated civil service and little press freedom. It's called putting lipstick on a pig. 35 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post trainman34014 Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 As long as the Thai people (sheeple) continue to allow Soldiers in Parliament they will remain in The Dark Ages. These Gangsters and the ones above them who pull their strings and issue the actual orders have to be disposed of and the quicker the better.

Popular Post statman78 Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 This opinion piece is spot on! Yesterday I read an excellent option piece in another English language newspaper published in Bangkok. The writer was Ativan Achakulwisut and was published July 13. It does a very good job highlighting how heartless this government is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sherwood Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Third world, maybe that is why I am still here. I wrote the other day that I would leave if I could, the trouble is the rest of the world seems to be degenerating to image the Third World demography. Dog help us.
