10,000 Baht Cash Handout Announced for Thai Youth Aged 16 to 20

[The Old Bull]

A lot of negative comments about young Thais totally undeserved made by people with no direct involvement. It's all about the parenting, good parents make good kids.

Does Thai youth file taxes?

How many of the 16 - 18 year old demographic here have bank accounts, won't this go directly into the parent/guardians accounts?

 

[Zaphod Priest]

All this cynicism.  The handout will 100% have the desired effect:  increasing the proportion of the next generation of voters who will support Pheu Thai.  And the best bit is that Pheu Thai doesn't have to hand out its own money to win votes.

People are people wherever in the world

 

Thai bashing make you feel better?

I see that your new Farang tax dollars/pounds are being spent wisely 😆

🙄🙄🙄What is wrong in the head of those in power!!?? 10K for kids??? This must be the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life! 😭 Some trick to make kids remember the "Thaksins" and vote for them later??? 😫

What a daft thing to do - it teaches the young that money is free and requires no effort. 

[Woke to Sounds]

Daft.

 

Vapes, bad haircuts/dye jobs and silencers for their souped up Honda Scoopys.

The Thai Gov that stupid ?  Suspect it will be spent in the first few days on drugs/booze/clothes and the like - oh and maybe a new (longer?) knife or three ?

 

Casting pearls before swine...
