Why should the individual citizen spend their own hard earned money "improving the country, and getting it's people out of poverty", isn't that the government's responsibility?  Do you donate your money to the country?

 

Most of these idiots won't have 'earned' a single satang of their wealth. They're the kids of wealthy families who flaunt their wealth to the rest of us: http://www.fecielo.com/this-is-how-the-rich-chinese-kids-flaunt-their-wealth/

Everybody says to me Thais are poor, and I say you must be kidding. If they can spend money on phone numbers, then surely they can spend money improving the country, and getting it's people out of poverty.

Poverty, not my problem it's their own fault....

You go to the miracle grand in Laksi and have a look yourself, after that you'll eat your words.

No, I won't bother.  I won't because cars in Thailand don't have 9-digit registration  numbers and even if they did they wouldn't all be the same as you said they were.  You're posting nonsense.

How would you know what they've earned or otherwise?   Another fully reasonable comment keeping up the Thaivisa standard.  Could you explain rationally why they are "idiots"?  No?  I thought not.

 

Even wealthy families have at some stage had to earn it, it doesn't materialise out of thin air.

 

Obviously these buyers have to be rich to make these purchases but who are "the kids of wealthy families who flaunt their wealth to the rest of us" that you so enviously refer to?

Don't attempt to answer my questions for me.

 

Maybe you're one of these rich kids who care so little about others and think you can get away with murder just because your families are wealthy. http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/the-red-bull-heir-and-inequality-in-thailand

 

The prick involved in this accident didn't even stop even though half the body of this your girl had been sliced off by the impact and landed on the passenger seat beside him: http://www.bestgore.com/murder/17-year-old-lao-girl-cut-in-half-speeding-porsche-drive-rich-thai/

 

These idiots don't have jobs and in the unlikely event their families lose all their money, won't ever have to work.

 

As for their wealthy families, that isn't the subject here: it's about their kids who fail to show compassion when they've just been responsible for many deaths, but because of their wealthy families, are unlikely to do any jail time in spite of the danger they cause to other road users: http://www.thephuketnews.com/honda-hit-and-text-girl-officially-off-the-hook-52261.php

"Don't attempt to answer my questions for me."

 

Erm...I wouldn't even dream of it, and I didn't.  What I did was ask you a couple of questions that you couldn't answer but you did post links to some old reports of no relevance to this thread, god knows why.  You also continued your bizarre, and obviously misinformed rhetoric and assertion that the people referred to in the OP were "idiots" who have never worked and would never have to.

OK, instead of calling them 'idiots', lets name them scumbags. I would prefer something stronger, but the forum software will obfuscate it.

 

And you're the one who is bizarre, defending these cretins like you do.

The question I was asking that you cannot answer was why are you calling them idiots, and now scumbags and cretins?  How do they deserve those intelligent descriptions?  That is what is bizarre.

idiots? the NBTC are geniuses. 

 

talk about selling air.

 

now the fun starts, we have the numbers, time to start calling them.

I wonder if these HiSo's considered they still have a pay a monthly phone bill (probably a couple thousand baht) with their "beautiful" phone numbers?   Sure hope they included that in their cost analysis of the "total" cost of the number.

Is it really?  never seen an auction of telephone numbers in Australia 

Maybe not phone numbers however every person can nominate their own vehicle registration number for a fee. I have no idea of the number of these 'vanity' plates on the road however it is quite a lot.

 

When you have a superstitious population like Thais (actually most Asians) money is always involved.  Just look at the frenzy around lottery numbers.
