10,000 Baht Government Handout Celebration Turns Violent


Recommended Posts

Posted

This is what happens when they just give money in hand to people. The handout was supposed to be in digital wallet form and restricted against buying alcohol and other unnecessary things. Now they changed that and see the result of it. A result a 7 year old could have calculated. The people in charge in this country are a joke, and it is high time to question both their intelligence and what they remember from their education or if they ever understood what they were learning.

 

If they didn´t like the digital wallet form, they could have used the system for 50/50 payment online they had before, but added 10k and changed that people could but 100% with the given money. That system already have blocking for alcohol and possibility to allow or block other products as well. But, that was probably too easy to understand and implement.

PM won't complain much, after all it was vote buying that got her to the position she has.

I don't remember any election recently and she hs not been PM that long. Also, it wasn't her idea.

Truly hopeless family.

All drunk at the same time and doing a stupid thing that caused  them losses.

Remains of  the govt handout could well be used up for father's hospital care.

And unsure if their father could work enough again after his treatment.

They might be worse off  than before 10000B helicopter money.

The Free alcohol hand out ( 10,000 baht) seems to be stimulating drunks! Well thought out by the govt!

 

As a part of  their unwritten policies  to silently eradicate  the idiot among their population?

Vote Buying.

Long standing tradition of the Pheu Thai Party(used to be Thai Rak Thai Party=Patriot Pary).

Since  Thaksin era(2001-2006).

Perfect example of the Resource Curse  at individual level.

If they have no brain/maturity, they cannot make a good use of the gift that is supposed to help them.

If they were serious about the 10,000 baht hand out then they should've given the money in vouchers that can only be spent in reputable businesses. With a stipulation that booze or smokes can't be bought with these vouchers. Probably a good idea but not a vote grabber.

Lunatics from hell.... :burp:    they can get alot of Lao Khao with that lovely cash. 

 

So this is about the 3rd or 4th one we've read so far regarding violence after getting the cash, including a couple of killings,  and there are many other incidents we don't know or don't get reported.

Here's another one: A yaabaa user in our village was going to kill his family as he hadn't received his B10000 and he needs his crazy meds.

How much is Bt.10,000.00?

 

Is that, like, a LOT of money, or something?

 

These days, with inflation, I would imagine it's hard to even get drunk on Bt.10,000.00.

 

If I had Bt.10,000.00, I am not really sure what i would do with it.

 

Maybe, ... I might put a down-payment on the golf membership at the Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club in Hong Kong.

 

I have always liked the looks of it.

Why kill or fight over Bt.10,000.00, when there are far better things worth dying for?

A neighbor, who witnessed the aftermath, said the family had been drinking since 9 a.m. and that Yod often became violent after consuming alcohol.


Seems like it was bound to end badly then !!

Aaaaand this is why cash handouts are a bad idea. South Korea trialled handouts before but they were smarter. The gave people pre-loaded cash cards and it came with restrictions. People could only use those cards at select stores within their communities.

A family of three in Udon Thani, who received 10,000 baht from a government program, used the funds to buy a second-hand motorcycle with a sidecar for work.

 

With the remaining money, they celebrated by drinking alcohol. However, the celebration took a violent turn when the intoxicated son struck his father on the head with a ceramic coffee cup, causing severe bleeding.

 

Actually better than I thought, from the headline...

Like Food Stamps in USA?

With  which they cannot buy booze, and tobacco.

Can only be spent on life essentials like daily commodities(food, clothing, medication including over the counter dose).

Is my understanding correct?
