Nostalgia for Prayut Grows as "We Miss Loong Tu" Goes Viral
Prices did not shoot up under Prayuth, except during the beginning of the lockdown, when I saw people going into places like Foodland and panic buying all the chicken, beef, and pork. Fact is, Prayuth regulated and subsidized something like electricity that benefitted especially the poor and was even "sustainable" with the sub 300 kwh usage discount. Then there was the half and half program, about which there was a post today in an unfortunately neglected topic https://www.thaipbsworld.com/half-half-resurfaces-in-yet-another-month-when-no-one-can-blink/ It was superior to the digital wallet in just about every category, including but especially its use wherever participants lived and in the requirement that people contribute their own fair share of money before getting benefits. It's something Prayuth did well during covid. In fact, his record during covid continues to be unjustly smeared. Thailand was better off than most--far better off. Fewer people died, and people had more measurable freedom to move around than in places such as the US. I've already listed above additional areas in which he was not only better than the current government but in practical terms successful. Prayuth was a status quo politician. That was what was needed in Thailand and may still be needed, instead of radical chaos. -

Soi Buakhao planned to be changed to one way
Not necessarily! Just because the street is one way, doesn't stop 2 trucks parking opposite each other. The only difference would be that they'd both be facing the same direction........being Thailand even that isn't guaranteed! 😲 -

NHRC calls for investigation into Thaksin's "VVIP" treatment
They don't expect or worry if the man in the street believes it , when they know they won't do anything about it. -

ATM withdrawl limits?
I do a counter withdrawal every month at Krungsri. Most Krungsri branches allow this without a fee. You will still have to pay the fee of your card issuer. I use a credit card and have no problem withdrawing 50,000 baht a time. -

NHRC calls for investigation into Thaksin's "VVIP" treatment
Khun Tony was on his death-bed don't 'cha know, but shortly after his parole, the medical props he was wearing and Buddhist amulets imparted special healing powers healing his heart, his lungs, and his neck. However, it seems that now that as certain criminal charge are creeping back into Tony's life, so are his heart condition as well as the chronic pneumonia and that pesky rotator cuff issue. No doubt if a court finds him guilty of any charges his body will go into full relapse and he'll need to be put back into the penthouse remand prison facilitates which we are told are available to ALL elderly sick prisoners - of course! The fact that he's been seen in public hob-knobbing with the political elites over the last weeks belies his frail elderly body which is barely surviving day to day and it's only through super-human efforts on his part that he can work the crowds of Pueu Thai faithful, and of course through the grace of a merciful Buddha whose compassion shines down on the epitome of morality encased in Tony's frail, elderly body that he can barely struggle on. "Doha! I need the doctors in Doha! Only Doha doctors will do!" Of course Tony. Like your prison stint, Thai doctors are only for the commoners just like Thai general population prisons are only for the commoners. Special people are - well - special! Special prisons, special privileges, special connections - special! Not like the "little people." -

President Kamala Harris
Oh cut it out with what she meant in the past. It doesn’t matter anymore because she’s in the process of being reinvented by the media industrial complex and reprogramming their enslaved mesmerized followers -

The above should read, GBP does not have a direct relationship with THB. Apologies -

President Kamala Harris
Oh yes, as an old man living in Thailand, I am terrified. If she is elected, it will likely benefit me financially. -

What is the tipping practice in Thailand ?
Took that a wee bit out of context ... did you miss the first sentence On 9/7/2023 at 8:57 AM, KhunLA said: "I handle/control the money, but she pays for everything. This way, I don't tip, as I would, and usually over tip, so not to offend anyone, either way, she pays all the time." Been married 2X here, both with large extensive families & friends, so I guess I can say I know a lot of Thais. Probably knocking on 75, maybe. But hey, what do I know. That post (mine) and follow up one (also mine) pretty much explains my 'tipping' thoughts. If misquoting me fits you spin, then have at it. -
