I am already paying 9 baht per Kw/Hr. And still the government spends money on infrastructure projects. eg 36 billion baht on DM airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree.. but i also think that you’re just not going to find situations where wages - across the board - rise .. and do so without there being some form of a rise in consumer prices rising as well.

I was amazed, but it was an ordinary train which eventually arrived 14 hours later!
