Tell us which Thai-Chinese own DTAC.

 

Whilst you are at it, do the same for AIS. 

You 've got a point, great to know that DTAC is owned b the Norwegians
AIS was sold by Shinawatra to Temasek Holdings, The Singapore Investment arm but Singapore itself is run by Ethnic Chinese too..

But read up about the Thai Chinese on Wikipedia and you get the drift 
Thai Chinese - Wikipedia

Quote 

"The Chinese control more than 80 percent of public companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand 
All the residential and commercial land in central Siam was owned by Thai Chinese. Fifty ethnic Chinese families controlled the country's entire business sectors equivalent to 81–90 percent of the overall market capitalization of the Thai economy.  "

So while knowing that DTAC is not Thai Chinese owned might be a relief to some, it is scant solace when you look at the big picture ..
Makes no sense for anyone who is Super Anti Chinese and am true to their belief to be staying in Thailand as they will only be contributing to the wealth of those that they disdain ...

Do you understand that you're asking a circular question You define this hypothetical person as a Scotsman and then ask if he's fully paid  up Thai or Scottish.

 

If you're going to ask that question fairly you would ask whether this person whose nationality is to be defined is a fully paid  up thai or a fully paid up scotsman, or some mixture thereof. Instead you gave a choice of either fully paid  up thai or Scotsman.

 

And of course, it's only reasonable to specify how he was raised.. Did he grow up seaking the Scottish version of English, or Scots, or Gaelic

Or is he just someone of Scottish ancestry who was raised entirely within Thai culture.

They are of cause not exact quotes as I do not write with the bible in front of me but what is written bears the same meaning..

Putting what is learnt in the Bible to practice is what matters, not the ability to quote it to the last word ...  ha

Maybe you can construe those sentiments in the Bible,. Maybe. but what you wrote certainly doesn't merit quotation marks.

You're right, his ethnicity makes no difference. But if you're buying stuff in Thailand, the fact one company dominates sales to such an extent, means that prices are higher than they ought to be were the business environment more competitive. And for people who live here, that means more money is coming out of their pockets than would otherwise be the case.

So what are you getting over charged for at 7-Eleven, Makro, Lotus??  Please tell me, prices in all of them seem pretty cheap, service is good.  How are they ripping you off??

Thai Chinese - Wikipedia

Here's a very detailed dossier on the Thai Chinese, including their ties with the ruling class n a list of Thai PMs of Chinese descent ..

Sure. Chinese influences and power have been a part of Siam/Thailand for ages in numerous forms, even of those circles that we're forbidden to speak of. 

Yet, Chinese have had an historic influence throughout much of Asia.

No great revelation.

How would we know what prices would be in a more competitive environment? Of course, if you think monopolies make for fair prices, you're welcome to believe that.

Ya think conditions in the USA are comparable to those in Thailand? The cost of doing business is the same in both countries? Trade regulations?

You don't help your case when you put a paraphrase, if that,  inside quotation marks. As for what the Bible says and what it means, it can pretty much mean whatever you want it to. For instance nowhere in either the old or new testament is slavery condemned. In fact, Saint Paul explicitly tell slaves to obey their masters. How do you square that with "all men should be treated as equals?"

More likely someone just playing stock games.   I doubt Dhanin cares what the gossip is.   They (the Chearavanonts) make an effort to maintain their heritage and have never hidden that.

 

Pretty cool to be the #1 listing on Google when you search for your first name.  Even the most powerful person in the world (Putin) can't do that.

For the answer to this question, you must consult Thailand's nationality law that was in force in 1929, the year when Dhanin was born in Thailand.

Aside from all this gobbledygook nonsense, what do Christian biblical references/principles have anything to do with the Thai-Chinese subject matter? Almost baffled as to how some might work their Eurocentric promotions into themes that such doesn't belong.
