As my old grandmother said believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see. We have heard all these empty U turn promises before. Don't try and turn it into a Coney Island just clean up the garbage.

They always want to run before they can walk. Simple things that can easily done are ignored. Because no kickbacks! Or whats in it for me!

No need to worry to much about tourism as its been slowly killed off , bombs rip  offs murders accidents pollution , lack of freedom , 

How was your stay at the Duangjit Resort & Spa Mr. Prayuth? Arrive by tuk-tuk did you?

I think that all these minsters and meetings dont mean shit!.The first thing that will make this place more alluring for tourism is if they give a better rate for their money.I know a lot of people back home who simply arent coming back this year because of the poxy exchange rate.

The islands are beautiful,agreed,but whats the point if you cant afford to visit them?

Can you promise to let the people elect a real PM and leave the best men to repair the damage for the sake of a nation. As it stands the country has gone in reverse. Satisfaction was not one of your sections Sir.
