backtonormal Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Two major car manufacturers confirming expansions running into 10's of billions. Take my hat off to this government and its leader. Can somebody remind me how many companies announced major investment under the last Dem government. Announcements like these are just putting nails in the Dem Party coffin. Like it or lump it PT is here to stay. Maybe has a lot to do with ASEAN where foreign companies will own 88% of their own business in Thailand.

Google for the article "state within a state - Thailand" to see who big business dealt with before this government. Well its all changing and now they're dealing with Thaksin I'd read this before and it does describe the "real" Thailand very well. The elected government is only there for the sake of the country’s image. It’s like a mask that hides the real image hidden behind. The orders for the elected government will be made through telephone conversations or messengers, the same way as ordering a pizza delivery.

maidu Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I've got an old Mazda which is falling apart, minute by minute. Not one part of it is holding up well. Do they take trade-ins?
