Ulic Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Too much corruption, foreigner land ownership issues, I just don't see it possible for many decades. Too many laws to change as well as the public will to end corruption at all levels of government and law enforcement/judiciary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutpeel Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thailand could become financial hub' rivalling Singapore, Malaysia Er no it couldn't....not unless there is a fundamental shift in the whole culture of the country I can see Singapore being very worried by this announcement. Can see the powers that be in Singapore taking a hard good look at this report, contemplating things very deeply for a while, analyzing the available data and coming to the following conclusion: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatawonderfulday Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 last week we did have this foreigner working for a public relation company, talking about thailand reputation a couple of days ago, we did have this english working for a tourism agency, telling us, tourism will booooooom, today we have this looney talking about thailand becoming a financial hub.... where do they found all these foreign sexpert? in pattaya sitting in a barstool?? That's a bit unfair. Even bar stool banter in Pattaya is more believable then that looney's suggestion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauskunkel Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 What a strange article. This guy whose company is three years old with 1 million baht capital, basically says he wrote some letters to some government officials in countries of the region. I can do that. But he beat me to it, because he had a dinner and a movie with The Nation journalist, enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Paul Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Most international investors like Thailand. Nice climate. Friendly people. Great food. But it's not a place to invest. The bureaucracy, immigration and corporate regulations effectively kill foreign enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffinator Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Seriously ... enough with the nationalistic rhetoric. The truth is that Thailand will remain as it is for centuries to come until the elite are removed and the people educated. Considering Thailand's position within Asia it truly could be a great nation but whilst it continues to be run by the ruling elite who take every measure possible to keep the people dumb and ignorant their fate is sealed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviss Geez Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 With Thailand backwards banking system i am sure if would be a great hub, HOWEVER note that he claims hub for Lao and Cambodia where banking is even more backwards.

HiSoLowSoNoSo Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Reading this made my day! I have just tried to transfer money overseas by one of the local banks cyber banking systems and failed. Maybe they should get a working internet banking system working first before dreaming about financial hubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJVillain Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The main difference between Thailand and Malaysia/Singapore is that the latter two had the good sense to open doors to the British and learn how to do things properly, with some common sense, by the book, and make progress...Good thinking Malaysia and Singapore...Silly silly Thailand... But you keep thinking you'll ever be able to rival those two and be a commercial hubOscar Pistorius will be president of South Africa sooner than that...

Popular Post siampolee Posted November 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) We are all well aware and acquainted with the Thai way of abbreviating words i.e. 7 for 7-11 moto cyc for motorcycle etc. The Thais have obviously taken the word ''Hubris'' and shortened it to ''Hub'' hence their somewhat mangled distorted use of ancient Greek in their understanding and its application and use in modern English in this case. hu·bris ˈ(h)yo͞obrəs/ noun excessive pride or self-confidence. synonyms: arrogance, conceit, haughtiness, hauteur, pride, self-importance, egotism,pomposity, superciliousness, superiority; More (in Greek tragedy) excessive pride toward or defiance of the gods, leading to nemesis.
