Most are still trying to figure out 'Thailand 1.0'   !!

[fruitman]

Well i also don't understand it...so what's the plan?

 

Play Candycrush 4.0 online tournaments?

[taichiplanet]

i'm with the 65.50% of Thais, i not understand also. is it something to do with the 4th time being a vassal state of China?

[Chang_paarp]

Does anyone know what Thailand 4.0 is?  Let alone understand it.

''Most Thais not understand 'Thailand 4.0''

 

I thought that was the idea.

[fruitman]

On another thread the minister said it had to do with a website and 20.000 shops on it....Kind of Alibaba or made-in-china.com i think.

 

But will that website be in english as well?  If you email one of those vendors in China you'll get reply within an hour...vely good.

 

I never got reply when i emailed a thai company.

A super big website to sell Thai made stuff.  20,000 resellers all on one site.  Sure there is more, there always is, but that is all that was made understandable.

Looks like I was the only one thinking See Joot Soon was a new Korean pop star. 

[DM07]

...and most reporters not know how to write a proper English-sentence...

[Lupatria]

There must be some nasty  "phee pop" behind it that prevents Thais to understand anything labelled with the number "4" - article 44, Thailand 4.0, gate 44...

[WhizBang]

No one in this country, including Prayut et al, understand Thailand 4.0.   The reason being that it really does not mean anything.  It is just a buzz word created to make people think the junta are actually doing something.

 

On top of which the junta are actually hostile to anything digital.   Maybe they really ment Thailand 0.4.

[Tchooptip]

Most Thai do not understand  Thailand 4.0 Pffff Why they do not asked ThaiVisa?

Many members know  everything about everything about Thailand its people its laws its psychology everything  we tell you!

Only the language not 

 

[mtls2005]

Maybe they should add this to the twelve core values and get all school children to recite it each day?

 

I suspect someone's child/nephew came up with this idea, and then it became mantra.

 

It will probably be forgotten, or replaced, in a  few months.

 

How do the principles of the sufficiency economy fit in to Thailand 4.0? Only take two selfies per day?

Does the government?

Vassal is old school the new term is vessel. 

[elgordo38]

Is this spout a catchy phrase day?? Sure impressed the H out of me. 

[jerojero]

35%....doubt it is that high. Maybe 3.5%, that is, the Elites.

[goldenbrwn1]

I just watched the Thai 4.0 advert on CNBC. Lots of robot machinery, super futuristic assembly lines and infrastructure images, Thai people dressed in white coats looking very intelligent.....I can't remember the buzz words used but you can imagine.

[debate101]

Does it have anything to do with internet censorship, computer crimes act, single gateway, government-sponsored unsecured e-payment system, coal power plants,  or WWII era submarine warfare? Because if so, maybe we do understand...

[Reigntax]

I thought it was Prayuths response to the Thai people when he raises his middle finger it represents those that remain folded.

Thank you for your explanation Khun Tchooptip, you have been too kind. 

[JAS21]

Having scanned through it ... gooble-de-gook to me. maybe it means Thailand will become a self actualizing country. I definitely suspect that 35% figure. I think there are two decimal places missing ... both to the left.

[whaleboneman]

Interesting survey results. 60% of respondents don't know what it is yet 100% know whether it will affect them negatively or not.

If you regularly watch the Friday night 'Ive just swallowed a dictionary' bore-athons then maybe you would  - trouble is nobody does !

[mtls2005]

They love their infographics and powerpoints.

 

But I'm not sure I've seen one concrete plan, step or activity that would lead to a "creative, innovative or smart" Thailand.

 

This looks very "gimmicky" with little more supporting it than a few vague talking points. Why am I reminded of the "principles of the sufficiency economy"? Another "concept" which people struggle to define, and pretty much know one udnerstands.

There is an astrologer/soothsayer/fortune teller in the Ministry for Silly Walks who knows all about this.Please apply to him for any further details-if cannot be found the local village wise women may be able to assist you or,at least,give you a sure fire winning lottery number.

 

Best of luck..
