PM Paetongtarn's Policy Statement critisised as Echo of Thaksin’s Vision
Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra makes the policy statement at parliament in Bangkok, Thailand, Thursday, Sept. 12, 2024. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) During the parliamentary debate on the policy statement delivered by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, People’s Party MP Sirikanya Tansakul criticised the newly unveiled plans, arguing they largely mirror the ideas previously promoted by Thaksin Shinawatra, the de facto leader of the Pheu Thai Party. Sirikanya highlighted that the policy statement strays significantly from Pheu Thai Party’s campaign promises. Instead, she noted, many of the Prime Minister’s initiatives echoed points made by Thaksin in his recent speech, suggesting the current government lacks originality and autonomy. "The statement is no different from former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s policies, with broad objectives but unclear goals," Sirikanya commented. She also pointed out the absence of the highly anticipated 10,000 baht digital wallet project, a key campaign promise, and questioned whether the government still plans to implement it. Thaksin had addressed 14 issues on 22nd August, and 11 of these were repeated in the policy statement, including the digital wallet project for "fragile groups." According to Sirikanya, this trend reflects a recycling of policies from the Thai Rak Thai Party, founded by Thaksin in 1998, and led until his ousting in the 2006 coup in Thailand. “This isn’t just consistent; it’s akin to AAA+ on Miller’s Pyramid of Assessment. It’s about responsibility being handed down rather than innovation,” she remarked. Sirikanya expressed concerns that future cabinet meetings might become mere formalities, with significant decisions being made by outsiders to the official government structure. She added that she seeks a Prime Minister who radiates her own brilliance, comparing the ideal leader to a shining star rather than a mere reflection like the moon. Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira later confirmed that the first phase of the 10,000 baht digital wallet payouts would begin on 25th September. The initiative targets 14.2 million people in vulnerable groups, injecting 140 billion baht into the economy. Pichai acknowledged Thailand’s economic slowdown over the past five years, stressing that immediate action is necessary to prevent further decline and to initiate a path to recovery and growth, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2024-09-13 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Phuket Named World’s Most Overcrowded Destination Amid Tourism Boom
They come over here, taking "ARE 'olidays!" What an arrogant and perverse sense of entitlement. THhs is a racist perspective - the Russians Chinese and Indians aren't at fault - the Thai ruling elite are - Tourist numbers are still 20 to 25% lower than immediately before Covid. What has happened is regardless of any conservation of resources those who run tourism in Thailand have grabbed as many customers as they could and crammed them into the traditional tourist hot spots - so the density there is out of all proportion to old numbers when tourism was distributed over a far wider portion of the country. Even government ministers have been saying that other areas should be trying to get more tourists in - but they can't. Remember too that it is much cheaper to fly to Thailand from Russia, China and India than it is from US or EU. I havebeen sayingfor nearly a year now that centres like Pattay and Phukt are suffering form over tourism - but don't blame other countries, it is THailand that is to blame THailand aleways goes for the lowest common denominator. -

What is indisputable though is that the world would be very different had Churchill surrendered. I for one am very happy he did not. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
German tanks and tactics were far superior to Soviet ones. Try reading the Kursk battle. Significant words Germany won the tactical battle. However, Hitler's incompetence allowed the Soviets to gain the overall victory. https://www.counterview.net/2023/12/world-war-ii-how-battle-of-kursk.html The Soviets won the Battle of Kursk and shattered Hitler’s dream of conquering Russia. Germany won the tactical battle but was unable to penetrate the Red Army’s fortifications and so lost the advantage. IMO the German army was defeated because Hitler constantly interfered in the tactics and he was no general. IMO Hitler won the war for the allies by sheer incompetence, though Goering helped by being an overoptimistic braggard. Wars are not won by airpower. They are won on the ground. -

KFC in decline?
The only things I would eat from KFC are the shrimp doughnuts and ice cream. The chicken is not good IMHO. I buy chicken from one of the many roadside food carts. -

Heatwave and Climate Change Puts Pressure on Thailand
All the best to you Sir you have the right to your opinion as do I we have to respect that rather than ridicule what we don’t understand. Yes for many years man did believe the Earth was flat but time and education we overcame our predigest. I can remember when my mothers Dr told her 20 cigarets a day would clear her chest 1955 I believe the year was. So we all grow and learn just some take just a bit longer to see the light. With Respect -
