I bet they are just normal end of year "specials" and the junta is trying to take the credit. Just like announcing that the lower petrol price is a "gift" from the government lol. What a bunch of lying criminals!

As for the lower petrol price "gift", worldmarket prices has gone down by almost 50% and the pumpprices only about 10%.

So they are not only lying, but stealing from the people, they were supposed to serve.

Thainess at its best!!

Petrol in the UK was 1.29 L in September, it certainly isn't only 65 pence now, so no not a Thainess thing at all

An alternate gift could be:

Freedom of speech

Freedom of assembly

Freedom of expression

...and so on.

Is this the same administration that slammed the Thaksins' populist policies?

This is always every year and it is on all the products that do not sell well.

When are the breweries going to give their New Year "gift"????

Oh, I forgot... THEY are again trying to stop selling alcohol over New year. How stoopid of me!!!

Just another populist policy to lure the Thais into maxing out the credit cards of stuff they really dont need or want. But because its cheap they will buy it anyway, and hope to sell it later in the year for a profit.
