Nickymaster Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I am not sure but I heard that Thaksin's fancy mouthpiece and Red shirt lawyer Robert Amsterdam is visiting Thailand more often lately. So the THB 200,000 spending on food could be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansnl Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Who on earth could possibly eat 200K worth of food per day. I presume such an amount of money is uneatable. However, it is named a budget! Entirely different, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Since all Parliamentarians' allowances come from the public purse, there is presumably a list somewhere of exactly what they are. Why doesn't the government simply publish it and dispel all these nasty rumours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisY1 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Dusit Thani catering is not cheap! I seem to remember some time ago, that Yingluks daily food cost was reported to be in the vicinity of Thb 20K.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlandy Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Who on earth could possibly eat 200K worth of food per day. Well, whilst difficult anything is possible when MP's pocket 60% of the money spent on most items being procured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullstop Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 He further explained that the Government House does have a special budget for the meals served in events that the government welcomed its dignitaries. However, he stressed that the special set of menu is not as extravagant as the ant-government critics have alleged. That's right! ... It's only 100,000 Baht per day!

marell Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Who on earth could possibly eat 200K worth of food per day. Eating 200K worth of food and spending 200K (allegedly for food) are two different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spare Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 You people will be happy if she spend only 100 Baht per day eating somtum with the locals by the road, and save 20 Baht drinking the free complimentary water. You should not compare her with your local wives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnomick Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Of course this figure is wrong.....20baht per meal from any one of those motorcycle soup kitchens would mean 10,000 meals and there sure isn't that many members of parliament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not compare her with your local wives. I agree that a THB 100/day food budget is not appropriate for a lady of her status. But THB 200,000 is a bit too much don't you think so? I give my local wife THB 150/day. I should add that she is vegetarian. Uh I mean, recently became vegetarian. She says that meat is very expensive nowadays. You think that's enough?

WAERTH Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 200,000 thousand baht per day is virtually impossible to spend on food here in Thailand. For 5,000 baht a day you can eat very well already. I personally cook myself, buy Thai food once a day and I spend about 250 baht a day in total, and that includes meat (Beef) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The real problem is that PT have told so many lies in the past that its impossible to know what is the truth. There seems to be a culture among them of a denial as an automatic response to anything they are caught out on. A case in point was the speaker of the house denying the there were riot police outside and calling them traffic cops when it was easily proved he was telling a lie.

12DrinkMore Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Govt Spokesman Denies '200,000 Baht Per Day' Food Budget Oooooook So what is it then? Bt199,999 a day? Nope could be THB 500,000 per day. Just as long as it is not exactly 200,000 the spokesman is on solid ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yunla Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Its not really as serious a criticism as being the sister of an on-the-run criminal who killed thousands of poor people in a fake war on drugs, and plundered billions from the national coffers. Or the fact that she and her cabinet take orders from him while he hides from justice overseas. Which is treason by the way. But yeah, big dinners etc. blah blah blah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
