Along with the industry / employees, to sell & maintain imported products. The taxes the country receives are from money already in Thailand. Thai industry should develop to sell and maintain Thai products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(2) Maybe you should emigrate to a country where these goods are cheaper My comment was about the very high import tax on imported products like cigarettes and spirits which are directed at expats by a greedy government. The economy is, and has been, supported by the many billions of baht converted from home currency and spent annually in the Kingdom by expats.

Sydebolle Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Swimming and second (third or fourth) languages are taught at school = education ministry in charge. Latter not moving anything for decades as the status quo keeps the underlings at bay. Out of curiosity, what entrance pricing is there for government officials? I mean, Thais pay 10% of what the dirty farang are supposed to pay so I was wondering, what they charge dirty politicians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NoshowJones Posted November 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2021 Well he's right about one thing, many countries will be keeping an eye on Thailand as they know his government is illegal, and that he himself took the country at gunpoint over 7 years ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A child that can speak English has a far better opportunity to travel and advance in life through career prospects, than one that can't. I have always wondered if the unelected soldier posing as a PM is able to speak English, or how competent he is at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, but not that the state economy will collapse when the expats will leave. Perhaps you should learn a bit about Thai exporting industries. Just go around Laem Chabang, Lat Krabang and see the thousands of containers passing by, beside what leaving by air freight from Sumpy. Or just find out the official figures of Thai export.

Reports say that exports have declined 10% or so during Covid. Tourism has virtually disappeared. Expat income has remained pretty much unchanged. I just think that we should get more respect when it comes to taxing things we like to buy, dual pricing at hospitals and others, 90 day reports, having to pay for things that should be free, and constantly getting screwed down to bleed more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
