Andycoops Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 He is completely clueless when it comes to any economic policy or strategy, with an IQ from an army academy you can't expect anything else. Bye bye... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted May 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) After 9 years of turning Thailand from the once great tiger of SE Asia, into a whiny, sickly, anemic alley cat, and nearly destroying the entire tourism industry, with highly selective, draconian shutdowns, favoring his cronies, and crushing the common man, and other extremely foolish policies, he is now giving advice to investors. It would be like asking Nicolas Cage for financial advice. Or asking Chuwit how to deal with the failed war on drugs. Or asking Justin Bieber for advice on nuclear fusion technology. Or asking Xi for advice on human rights. Or asking Trump how to demonstrate integrity while getting rich. Prayuth is a failure. He fails at everything he touches. Thankfully, this charlatan is on his way out, heading toward utter oblivion, and the waste basket of tragic history.

h90 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 With the higher taxes and inflation and carbon taxes with MF the stock market won't look good. But on the other hand if the inflation is high enough the numbers will rise again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your timeline is wrong....The big crash was 1997...than a bit of recovery with the Democrats and Thaksins first term. Than huge damage with the Yingluck rice scam. Which the Prayuth government repaired but than did not do any other reforms....and than killed the last economic activities and tourism with their Covid politics. Short version: he is to blame but not him alone.....And MF politics will make a short term boom and than long term problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the juntas dodgy figures had total losses at about 1% of gdp Also, your timeline seems to have overlooked the 2006 and 2008 coups - both of which caused immediate and significant damage to the gdp. It is also a matter of fact that the 2014 coup caused more damage to the Thai economy than the rice scheme. Why do you persist with the dishonesty?

Why do you persist with the dishonesty? 1% of GDP and many dead farmer...many companies left Thailand. Japan officially complained. And how can your source know what damage was from the demonstrations (blocking airport, scaring tourists) and what from the coup? And correct me if I am wrong, I can't remember a 2008 coup.......2006 and 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And correct me if I am wrong, I can't remember a 2008 coup.......2006 and 2014 More inaccuracy and dishonesty. In February 2014, the Mental Health Department published the result of their investigation into the suicides of 13 farmers, which was that there appeared to be no connection between these suicides and the delayed payments. This was widely reported in the media at the time. Japan officially complained ???????? What did the juntas coup do for Thailands economy? https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/foreign-investment-plummets-78-in-junta-ruled-thailand There was a judicial coup in 2008 that ousted the elected government When the December 2007 elections resulted in a clear victory for a Thaksin-backed party, the former prime minister’s opponents mobilized once again. The PAD took to the streets, creating a crisis of governance, and the Constitutional Court disbanded the Thaksin-affiliated party in 2008. This decision allowed the Democrat Party, a long-time ally of the royalist establishment, to lead the government coalition, setting in motion one of the most violent confrontations in Thai political history.
