noahvail Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 "Ms. Yingluck has assured the MEPs that Thai government will do its best to solve the problems in the Deep South and that the flood crisis will not recur this year." Doing "its best" to solve the problems in the Deep South, eh... Kinda like saying that the Finance Minister was doing his best when he lied about the economy... "The Best" of an incompetent is still not very good, is it? And of course, the flood crisis will not recur this year...as parts of Chiang Mai are flooding today, and parts of the Deep South as well...

Misterwhisper Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 "On the economic front, the Premier told the MEPs that Thailand is willing to be an investment base in Asean for European investors." Sounds like Thailand is doing European investors a big, big favour by graciously allowing them to bring their money into the country. Shouldn't it be the other way round? I mean, shouldn't Thailand be grateful towards European investors for considering Thailand as an investment base? Perhaps I'm reading to much into this, but I find it a quite arrogant statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Thailand is generous, they always help whenever they can.I remember for the Japanese tsunami they waved the visa fees for Japanese tourists, expect some similar help to the European union.

And they helped out the poor Burmese junta with that very soft loan when no one else would let them buy communications equipment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimincm Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I think she should tell them to go home and <deleted> themselves,Thai looks in a better financial position to me than the EU,all they do these days is lend money to countries, Spain,Italy,Greece, Ireland who are all ready in debt and have no chance of paying their debt+ the debt of the bailout.Tell them to <deleted> off ,don't sidle up to the EU they are going down the tube.And by the way Thai is more Democratic than the EU,almost impossible to believe but how many people in the EU parliament have have been elected and not voted in by like thinking pals,nothing to do with the populace. The Brits are the only one's who have a clue,they want out.GO BRITS. Does anybody here think Thai knows how the world works,if you do I hope you're drinking a nice red tonight,something with a woody palate and a salty after taste.Remember gargle.

looping Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I very much doubt if any of these visitors took anything that she said seriously. They probably nodded, agreed, then scurried back to the Sheraton Grand for a seafood buffet before a chauffeur driven tour of several upmarket whore houses, celebrating their time away from the drudgery of Europe... Like the rest of us, but more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have this cunning plan which involves Pheu Thai party list MP and UDD leader Dr. weng. As soon as he has succeeded in eradicating the Democrats we'll have peace and harmony. Furthermore we expect Thailand to become the hub of democratically induced harmony and believe this may even become a primier export article which could become a huge success in Europe and bla, blabla, etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
