Popular Post StayinThailand2much Posted May 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) I think, unofficially, Thailand is on Russia's side, but they can't risk saying so. Thailand is always on the 'money-side', and Ukraine is economically insignificant for Thailand. (Plus, Thailand's best buddy's ???????? best buddy is Russia.)

Popular Post John Drake Posted May 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2022 So he wants to talk trade and investment, instead of Ukraine, does he? Okee-dokee. How about reciprocal tariffs, investments tied to human rights standards, increased inspection times of Thai exports at American ports. In other words a "neutral" stance on economic ties, instead of special access and allowances. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post USEpat Posted May 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2022 Anyone who can be neutral on the Ukraine thing in the light of what Putin is inflicting on Ukraine has to be a brainless dolt. I guess that explains the government position pretty well. 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope Thailand is never invaded, and if it was then other countries don't take a "neutral stance". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post garyk Posted May 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) I mentioned this earlier but, IMO all aid to Thailand should be cut and routed to Ukraine. That includes all foreign investments in Thailand. Japan and the US are the two biggest FI in Thailand to my knowledge. All US investments should be put on a 5 year withdrawal.

Problem is that would hurt the Thai people more than the generals. We all know the generals don't give a shiny s.h.i.t.e about the Thai populace. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bendejo Posted May 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2022 Like a policeman at the scene of an accident, he remains neutral regarding both sides, meaning he will be receptive to gratuities from either. he said he believed there were more pressing issues, such as the economy, trade and investment Now we're talkin'!
