And Never been used to its full capacity. So now buying 03 submarines with the precious money of Tax Payer's is not a valid idea. Does Thailand really needs submarines as Andaman Sea is safer always due to presence of American Fleet nearby. My suggestion that Thailand to invest this money in Health, Education and Water Management. Health, Education and Water Management don't make you look hard in the World Pub, which is far more a priority of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelman, very PC statement:- "Never been used to its full capacity." you mean its an aircraft carrier that has never, in its Thai reincarnation, been used to actually carry aircraft!

tomacht8 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 There are around 37500 schools in Thailand.A budget of 38.000.000.000 Baht would mean that each school could spend 1 million Baht for modernization. There are around 1000 public hospitals in Thailand.A budget of 38.000.000.000 Baht would mean that each hospital could spend 38 million Baht for modernization.

BuckBee Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Oh my god, how stupid do they look pushing this silly sub purchase. Thai face means can never go back on it now :-O Noting is for free so initial pricing was poorly negotiated if can add a free one. Most important issue in Thailand is water management and corruption control plus sensible expenditure of countries money and these subs are hindering all of those issues. Buck banana is 63 and if you add 6 and 3 together you get an idea of his mental age :-/ Edited March 22, 2017 by BuckBee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawker9000 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 If I could get him 3 particle accelerators/colliders for the cost of 2, would that purchase make any sense either? What does Thailand need with 3 submarines? ...Besides a little status at the o'club, that is? Is there some sudden need to map the bottom of or chart thermal inversion layers in the GOT? Has someone sighted an invasion armada? 'Someone's threatening to blockade Thailand? Newsflash: wolfpack tactics require a few more subs, and that was over 75 years ago... Seriously? 'Nothing better to spend the cost of 2 submarines on? (And I won't even get into total cost of ownership.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eligius Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Can you imagine the outcry from some quarters if it were Yingluck or Thaksin pushing ahead with this scandalous waste of public money?! Also, it is very amusing that even Mr. Thailand (ultra-nationalist) himself has to admit that even the brilliant Thais do not know how to build a submarine. What?! I thought the Thais knew everything better than everyone else. What a joke this country is! But sadly - it's the poor and often very kind-hearted Thais who have to suffer all the increased poverty and deprivation that will result from this heinous waste of public money.

tomacht8 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hey, Hey how much is a submarine here?Is 12 Billion per piece. I want have three then.So it is in total 36 Billion then.
