trainman34014 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Ingrained in Thai Society and will never be otherwise. Most of us know who have had any dealings with Thai Women that 'Family' comes first. I've even got a Mate who's Wife told hin straight that her Family will always come before him. If they are in a high position in the Civil Service; normally as a result of 'who' they knew rather than 'what' they knew, then they will continue the practice of keeping jobs and money in the Family. What Family members actually 'know' about the job is not even considered ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted July 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) I am sure I recall that one of the often used justifications ( both on this forum and in general) was that an appointed senate was not vulnerable to the establishment of "political dynasties" based on certain families . Maybe some of the then enthusiasts for these reforms may care to comment - it has rather, as they sing at football matches, "all gone quiet over there!"
