Popular Post webfact Posted September 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2023 Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin told Thai people living in the United States that the country’s political conflict is a matter of serious concern which is difficult and may take time to resolve. He added, however, that his government has been working hard to reinvigorate the sluggish Thai economy, while taking care to improve people’s livelihoods through the implementation of the “digital wallet” scheme, 3-year debt moratoria for farmers and energy price cuts. On tourism, the prime minister cited the Cabinet’s recent visa exemption for tourists from China and Kazakhstan as a short-term measure to help the economy, adding that the government will continue to boost domestic tourism with additional measures.

Thailands elite will always come out on top, as Thai politics are funded by the elite and controlled by the influential people. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post daveAustin Posted September 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2023 … because of UNELECTED people like you. Blathering on about helping poor people / the proletariat in order to garner support/praise while being filthy rich and not knowing about real struggle. It is pukeworthy. The sooner the world rids itself of corrupt dinosaurs, the better for all. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted September 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2023 I have no idea, but I do wonder why stealing an election, and placing a non elected PM in that position could possibly alienate the voters. And when you yak, yak, yak like a used car salesman, and yet do nothing, why does that invite even more skepticism? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamnutsak Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 How can he determine that something is 22 hours ago, webfact said: difficult and may take time to resolve without even trying, or proposing potential solutions. All he does is mouth platitudes. Meanwhile the Emergency Decree in the South has been extended for a Sixty-Fifth (65th) time.

Maybe he could make a first step by not fueling the political divide even further. Bringing Thaksin home and giving him a helicopter ride to hospital wasn't exactly a great start. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaoleBoy Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Will PM Srettha visit the LM "lese-majeste exhibition while in New York to pay tribute to all the Thai citizens that have been incarcerated? Many without bail and some due to political weaponization of this law. It was good to see his Majesty's son go to this exhibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know the answer to that! he is a walking, talking excuse for the betrayal of their voters. A despicable bastard, unfortunately one of many Thai hi-so's who continue to rape their country...

With the blatant corruption on show for all to see it looks to me like the establishment is stronger than ever I said right from the start it needs blood on the streets to reset this mess and I really don't think Thailand has the belly for it, hopefully it won't come to that but nothing will change any other way.....

No need for blood on the streets, economic hardship will do the trick. The establishment has never been weaker, not only are they unable to keep Thaksin exiled, they’ve welcomed his proxy leadership of the newly installed government in the hopes he can stave off the aforementioned economic hardship. I doubt the government will last the full four year term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
