joebrown Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 It's doomed to failure from the outset with a man named 'Sin' trying to promote 7 virtues!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisY1 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The 7 virtues....discipline, tolerance, kindness, sacrifice, responsibility, mindfulness and carefulness..... They really are in fairy landif they really think that Thai people have any of these characteristics.............humpty dumpty stuff at best!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydeco Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I'm a critic when need be. But there is nothing wrong with reiterating a value system. It's an ad campaign. I will not hurt. Might even help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The PM issued his set of virtues to be a good Thai, the morals brigade issued their set for Songkran behaviour and now more for road safely. No doubt more to come on all sorts of issues. Apart from the obvious joke about LoS becoming the hub of virtues it's frightening to see how those running the country think in that all that's needed is to issue a set of stupid, many unattainable, goals and everybody will fall in line to obey. No doubt all the authors will think they've done a wonderful job whereas all they've done is show how shortsighted they are and know nothing of their fellow Thais who simply live by one single virtue - all rules etc are for others to obey.

Bluespunk Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 "Relevant authorities, therefore, have tried hard during the past many years to raise public awareness of accident risks and to nudge drivers to be more careful." I'm not sure nudging drivers is ever a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluespunk Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Mr. Sin again, yesterday it was women's clothing, today it's alcohol. This guy must be a blast at parties. Though to be fair, he is right about D and D. Nonetheless………. Edited April 10, 2015 by Bluespunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selftaopath Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thailand's full of buffoons and most are part of the government. Her neighbors have no need to fear that Thailand will be a "powerhouse" anytime soon. Actually in the near future other countries can invite the Thai masses to work as unskilled labor/servants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tominbkk Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 During Songkran all the police disappear in my neighborhood. 15 teenage boys on four motorbikes racing each other down the street, getting smashed in the face by people with big buckets of water as they fly past. Mostly it is a problem in my hood with underage boys on bikes or drunkards on bikes, coupled with a COMPLETE lack of police presence during those days.

Her neighbors have no need to fear that Thailand will be a "powerhouse" anytime soon. Actually in the near future other countries can invite the Thai masses to work as unskilled labor/servants. Clearly none of Thailand's neighbors need to fear Thailand and certainly none of them do. Thailand's neglect of it's culturally similar cousin Laos is particularly striking - even near the Thai border in nowhereville, Laos signs in Vietnamese and Chinese stand alongside Lao, but signs in Thai are nowhere to be seen. The Thais never had any interest in going to Laos except as one day tourists and are now finding Vietnamese and Chinese taking away all the opportunities that the Thais could have had for themselves, all because the Thais were too busy looking down on their neighbor and what has it brought them? Thailand will never be a powerhouse, never have any influence outside of it's own borders, nor do I think it even wants to become a powerhouse.

jerojero Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 How about enforce the traffic laws! They have more persuasion than pie in the sky "be good" hopefulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 And did the promotion of the "7 virtues" reduce the road toll? Now, get real and start law enforcement! Without fear or favour and tea money! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 i haven't seen much official response to the death and casualty figures but since the death count is up on last year, genuine figures notwithstanding, I'm not surprised because the junta doesn't do failure. I suppose the files etc will already have been shelved until the end of the year when another ' safety campaign ' farce will be trotted out.
