I would like someone to ask him to address parliament and explain clearly how they intend to achieve that. Improve equality... Thakisin as one glaring example. Eradicate poverty... look at the wage increase. the man is joking. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinyara Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 His party got 3% of the vote at the election compared to 38% for Move Forward and him and his cohorts end up in control of 460 billion baht. Both him and his de-facto boss have made their money in the construction business in no small part due to government contracts, in fact the previous Transport Minister, brother of de-facto boss, is under investigation for the awarding of billions of bahts worth of contracts to an alleged connected business. Quote from the article, " He said some of the major projects to be implemented by the Ministry this year include the construction of new civic centres ". Absolute tragedy for Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I experience the crumbling state of Pattaya's infrastructure on a daily basis, and given the billions that have supposedly been spent recognise the same systemic issues are at play locally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
