creekside Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) So much for the PTP promises of helping the poor from the evil Dems who are trying to keep them down! A vote for the PTP is a vote for Thaksin and a vote to better your poor rice planting lives! pre-election, March 16, 2011 Thaksin told his supporters, “We must give the Pheu Thai Party a land slide victory in the next election so I can return to Thailand to solve the economic problems. I promise that I will make all Thai people rich within six months.” Ya see? Even though Pheu Thai Party won the election, he's still not returned to Thailand. If only he had, then everyone would have been rich by now. Edited May 27, 2013 by creekside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy chef 1 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Me think's the problem here is that nobody is PLANNING his future .they just live from day to day.no desire to learn,getting better or work hard/ smart for a better outcome in life.no desire to become better.google,Wikipedia or other tools to educate your self are mostly unknown the Internet got used for such important things like Facebook or even better lottery "forecast"( check out: apichokeonline.com).I would say: if you like to achieve something in your life get your arse off and DO something for it.reading is maybe mai sanuk but it can help and Buddha beware even listen to a farang can give sometimes a great input.just as an example : one of my employees,a young girl mid twenty.I asked her what is her goal in her life and she replied to own a restaurant.though I asked her how many recipes she collected the last two years we working together and showed (proudly) her 15 recipes.I said this is not enough and if she would like I would teach her more.she took great fully my offer and promised to work hard.two weeks later she came to me and told me she is happy as it is now and the other way is just too much work.I think that sums it up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to think about it a little more. Some people will be poor no matter what happens, no matter what you give them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waza Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Well there one for the books, 500 billion baht spent on the rice pledging scam, first car scam, first home scam and 300baht minimum wage all to increase the quality of life of the rural Thai and unskilled workers. But it created ........... "Poverty-stricken people are overwhelmed with higher household debt, less income and over-spending, he said, adding that the expenses on alcohol and cigarettes by the poor are several times higher than the richest...........He added that drug-related cases are at an eight-year record high, representing 85.4 per cent of criminal cases and an increasing number of children aged 7-11 were admitted for rehabilitation." A big win for Thaksinomics and the agenda of enslaving the Thai people through debt. I wonder how they will spin this? I guess its all Abhists fault.

anon210 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The poor keep getting poorer in every country. Stop comparing us with other countries, this is Thailand we are on own, with our own ethics and culture, our problems are our problems, not just some other country that you can compare us with Not taking a cheap shot... But it should be read as "own ethics (or lack of)", and culture often serves as an easy manner to avoid to see how backward one's own country can be. For foreigners and external observers living in country, Thailand is just "some other country", as we have plenty of references to compare to. Sorry for breaking the nationalistic short-sightedness. Oh, and BTW... Whenever I have visitors, I always start by telling them all that Thais hide so well about their country, so that they can see reality beyond the official "land of smiles" story.

You do not want to be compared to other countries or even associated with other countries and yet most Industrial part of Thai economy is foreign, development is foreign, cars, bikes, electronics. You do not want to associate with other countries, but want other countries money. You do not want to be associated with other countries, yet Thai economy is export based. What and where do you think Thailand would be without foreign money? PS. Just in case you were not aware, Toyota, Yamaha and Honda are NOT Thai but Japanese Edited May 27, 2013 by lemoncake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianCR Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 It's NOT the PTP it's successive Thai governments, none of whom understand the plight of Thai people!!! Why?

hgma Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Simmering misery underneath the surface....loan sharks! Where a year ago , insiders traded the dirty percentage,now some a fast cash company has tied a big sign on the electricity pole next to my front door. Misery and sponsored violence as a direct result while more and more goodies can be bought on down payment loan-schemes. Rice farmers in my area are getting more and more frustrated planting less and less rice and try to cash in on "big price sales" of farmland in order to have a down payment on their nexus Lexus car. Since there are hardly farangs to blame in the country side they, the country folks, turn red, listen to the words and promises they need to hear,while in the mean time a ticking time bomb of collapse of social order is ticking away.

louse1953 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Reduction in working hours as a result of 300 baht a day minimum wage? It may be the law, but my wife was recently offered a job by a Thai company at 320 baht a day. This is seven days a week, ten hours a day and no paid holidays. Or am I being to Western in my thinking and this is a good deal in today's Thailand? Modern day slavery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoodMaiDai Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 What is this 300 baht minimum wage? A pal recently took me to his wifes farm up here in Isaan. He pointed to a couple of ladies, busy weeding a vegetable plot, and told me they were on 100 baht a day!!! Are you sure they are Thai? In some parts of Issan they are bring in Lao workers to work incredibly cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
