Popular Post Cherrytreeview Posted December 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2021 UK furlough scheme 70% of wages during worst of pandemic. Result - multi year low unemployment and still falling when economy reopened. Thailand - do nothing. Throw a few useless token gestures to the peasantry, rice price low of 5 baht, let them eat frogs, field rats and fido if theirs nothing left. Rack up even more debt on mortgages, cars, motorbikes and phones. 20% of GDP gone with a ridiculous Test-Wait-Maybe-Go-Hospital scheme to pretend we give a fiddlers. Top 5% of Thai society gets richer, keeping up our stellar record of the most unequal distribution of wealth in SE Asia. Well done. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should get to know a few of them. You might be surprised. Many of them were born with few advantages in life other than their looks, and they do what they do to support parents, kids, and other family members. Then they get looked down on by the more "respectable" members of society 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Khun Prayut Chan O Cha. Yes well done (not)....so a person who qualifies for this abundant handout, and has been out of work for up to 2 years, is compensated with approximately 7 baht a day (or a whopping 13 baht if out of work for a year). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
