scotchonrocks Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 That they had to make a decision on such a small amount of money is so pathetic. Why didn't they club together and at least give the family something more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good PR and good for the family. Not sure if companies do things like that in Thaialnd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people who have to get by with a 5,000THB-bucks a month (not a day), and we start nagging in the rare case our monthly wad is less than 6 digits or so... exactly!!! even though the minimum wage here in our province, and most urban and/or tourism-heavy provinces, is 300 baht/day, many of the resorts here pay their non-skilled Thai staff 200/day (and many even deduct for meals & lodging!); even though life can be lived very cheaply here, no way is 200 baht (or even 300 baht, tbh) TRULY a living wage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeyrobot Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Everyone at the scene agreed the money in the pouch should go towards his funeral expenses, bit hard not too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 9 hours ago, webfact said: Everybody at the scene agreed that the money should be given to the family of the victim for funeral expenses, reported Thai Rath. So for 'everybody at the scene', what were the other alternatives for the money (...besides partially paying the original vehicle rental)? I really need to read ThaiVisa News less often.

Me and my GF call the 1000 BHT note a 'King', and the 500 a 'Queen', the 100's 'Jokers, and anything else a 'handful' We call a 1 baht coin a Pumpuy Penny, as we regularly check our weight at the nearest 7Eleven with the 1Baht machine.

How is it greed to try to claim a prize that you have won? If anything, the people responsible for the Ad. should have the book thrown at them and be brought to justice. Most lightly, this unfortunate person would not have hired a vehicle for 2000 Baht or gone to the length he did to claim 800 Baht and in all probability would be alive today but for these advertisers.
