Popular Post Banzai99 Posted April 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2013 I don't think Farangs could, even if given the chance, their own countries are totally screwed up, countries run by Farangs, for Farangs, have been screwed up by Farangs, so what makes you think Farangs are in any way qualified to run another country, a country that is doing rather well, as opposed to collapsing like their own countries ? Farangs can't solve their own countries problems, what makes them think they can do any better anywhere else. Sorry guys, just came home after a heated debate with a pissed up Englishman who was spouting about all the things wrong in Thailand, the beer was too expensive and the girls were indifferent, piss poor exchange rate, etc etc....I told him that when I came to live here the rate of exchange was a lot lower, 25 to USD He reckoned that they need Farangs to show them how to run a country, when I asked him what had happened to Farang run countries like his, he just laughed and bought another beer, bought me one too, so it can't be that bad. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyDrinker Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I actually just read your post (I tend to avoid any post with the overuse of the word 'Farang" when written by a Westerner) but now that I have, if it's any consolation, he's probably right too duckie.

HardenedSoul Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Westerners wouldn't do a better job but, having said that, given the pace at which credit is expanding in this country, it seems to me that the Thais are doing a fairly good job of emulating their Western counterparts' economic incompetence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurnell Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Thailand is a corrupt business and Thais are its employees. How could a farang ever do better than that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RefinedGentleman Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I agree with you, Banzai99. Thailand is an interesting place to live precisely because it's NOT run by my fellow farang. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyDrinker Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I still fail to see your point chuck. Are you angry because this "Farang" maybe knew a bit more than you do about Thailand? Or because he'd had a few? Was his 'rant' any more lame than yours? Please elaborate and don't just rant because you've had a 'bar room lecture'... I hope you bought him one back... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mca Posted April 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't trust a large number of expats I've encountered in Thailand to solve a 2-piece jigsaw let alone Thailand's problems. They seem to have enough of a struggle running their own run of the mill day to day lives. Edited April 2, 2013 by mca 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many posters on TV who really do think like the clueless "Gerald Kellerman" in that piece. They've beenpredicting the collapse of the real estate and stock markets for years and getting it wrong all along. I read somewhere that the definition of a "bubble" (at least for those embittered fools who arrive to the party too late) is "a bull market in which you didn't have enough money or were too blind to establish a position".

homeownership Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thailand would be better off if run by Falangs, especially the English (I am btw English). The tax rates are in disarray, I mean hardly anyone at all is paying any tax whatsoever. The health and safety is practically non existant, so we will need to put that right. There is no NHS (National Health Service), so that needs introducing. There is practically no incentive for people to come to Thailand, so we have better introduce a state funded welfare system, 10,000THB a week should be the minimum. The roads have practically no cars on them, so we need toll roads and clog up arterial roads to ensure fair usage and uptake of the scheme. Everything seems to be owned by the government, so this needs to be privatised and sold off for pennies to ensure businessman loyal to us can make a profit. Corruption seems to be rife but very little seems to be coming to the treasury, we should sort the fines system properly. Thailand spends far too little on defence, how are we ever going to jump to Americas beck and call with the boys brigade of a miltary, we need more spending. Thailand has never invaded another country, we need to see about sorting that out straightaway. The general population seems far too happy, we need to lay off public sector workers and cause a tripple dip recession. Theres just so much work to do, it would take a decade or more to even get started. If only Thailand was in the EU then then we could get them involved to help us put things right. Yes, Falangs would be sort this place out. If only to drive the Falangs here already somewhere else. Jeez theres just no gratitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
