lkn Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 3 hours ago, newnative said: Thailand, and its local workers, would be better off if the government could attract a dozen of us for every millionaire Very true, though I feel I should add, Thailand would be *even* better off, if they would instead focus on increasing tax revenue, by passing the necessary laws such as child support (for single women), reforming the education system, etc. to bring up the average Thai salary. This latest scheme just shows that those in power are only thinking about what their next source of revenue could be, but are not willing to take any necessary steps to realize it, just put out the idea and hope it will come true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[V|U]HNW Individuals care about security, which healthcare, road safety, police, and government all compromise. Any functioning plan needs to allow for quality of life, security, and investment opportunity. One out of three is where they are shooting for.

It’s disappointing to hear someone say “we want a million wealthy people to come, so we get a cash flow” rather than “we want to make our cities so appealing that even wealthy people want to live here”.

Go beyond retirement, and Thailand is becoming the lane duck in the region. Mt neighbours used to brag about Thailands lead in ASEAN, now they complainan about how the country is slipping.
