So many things we need to live have increased greatly, petrol and pork prices especially. Now I hear many other things going up, like eggs. How and why is this happening to the Thai people? Why isn't the government trying to do something to help? Is there too many rich corrupted politicians in this country, more than the US and other countries. I really believe that the government is working with these pork merchants and making money off the public. When will the Thai people wake up and get rid of the clowns that are in power? It's business as usual by the same people that brought you Chinese vaccines when Thais were begging for Pfizer and Moderna. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Loh Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Prayut said the same thing when asked why was there a pork shortage which he replied "some people could be meddling in the process". Thaksin is bolder by stating clear as to why the shortage. Prayut is hidding the truth and protecting the unscrupulous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi49jr Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Could very well be true and if so, it should be looked into and hefty fines should be issued. But Thaksin is hardly one to cast stones. I mean, you don’t become a billionaire - certainly not in Thailand - by being Mr. Nice Guy, so I’m quite sure he and his clan screwed over lots of people in the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambum Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 18 hours ago, Tropicalevo said: His record, whilst he was in power, would support Mr Meeseeks comment. He has more business acumen than this 'rigged' group of generals added together. At the time, I spoke to a lot of local Thais here on Samui and Thais from other provinces, and their common theme was that he was the first PM, in their lifetime, to do something for the people. All would say that they knew someone in their home town/village etc who had received something from Thaksin's policies. Vote buying? Of course. That is normal for Thailand. He was removed by the 'rich and famous' because the he was loved by the 'common people'. The criminal record was a political move. Every one of the leaders today could have a similar criminal record. 7 hours ago, chang1 said: It's happening all over - the UK has just had its highest inflation figures for about 13 years. Gas and electricity are big contributers lately. Another reason why the UK is not my home any more! Before I left some years ago, gas prices went up by up to 50%, and now they're going up again, along with electricity prices - both essential commodities whose suppliers seem to get away with thwarting the Monopolies Commission by working " hand in hand" regarding price increases.
