In this country it is never going to change to the way that everyone is thinking of.

 

Modifications yes, but a complete overhaul  and the elimination of corruption and scamming and all the self serving mentality that is prevalent in Thai society is never going to happen.

 

Which ever political party does get elected you can only hope they manage to accomplish some good and not do too much damage in a variety of ways while they go about enriching themselves and catering to their own self serving agendas.

 

It should be obvious to everyone that political positions in this country are not obtained for the purpose of changing the country for the better, rather the political positions are to be used for enriching themselves in a variety of ways....while that aspect of Thailand is all part of the "Thai ways" that us foreigners are forever mystified by. 

 

If you live in Thailand you have to accept the way they run the country...although far from satisfactory in all too many aspects and plenty to complain about.

 

However if you want to frustrate yourself and be angry all the time then try to follow and or understand the political mentality of the politicians in Thailand.

 

Cheers

 

A lot of what you say has truth in it. is. How ever you really should get out a little more. You talk like Thailand is the only country in the world that has corruption in the government.

 

We are indeed lucky to live here in Thailand when it is an honest Military running the country not as you say corrupt politicians.

They have a schedule of over a year to go when they will have cleaned up the corruption and made it a lot harder to do in the future. There will always be some one to find away around it but there will not be that many easy ways to do it. Watch closely when Amnesty International puts out it's next ranking's for least corrupt #1 to most corrupt #176 give or take. Thailand will defiantly climb quite a bit from it's #102 position.

 

 

John,

are you being paid to say this rubbish?

Come on!!! Honest military, you must be living in another country!

Have a look at Thailand's wealthiest people.

How come there's so many ex-generals in there?

Why are there so many ex-generals on the boards of publicly listed companies in Thailand?

How come they feel the need to parade themselves every night on TV?

How come they are rewriting the constitution and loading up the "acceptable" persons to be automatically serving on every government from now on( military of course)

You dreamer.
