With the baht strengthening in value it should be expected that exports will fall even further. A GDP growth of between 2% and 3% is more likely. He does not care about export, he concentrates everything on his military. Stay in power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saengd Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Thailand spends 1.3% of GDP on military spending, Cambodia and Myanmar spend 2.3% and 2.9% respectively. Given Thailand spends a lower percentage and the accepted international guideline is 2%, an increase doesn't seem out of line. This is especially true since the military is heavily involved in narcotics suppression and the long border with Myanmar is a serious problem in this respect.

dallen52 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Reasonable!!! Yes, we have made significant provisions in the 2020 budget to ensure that all major projects have sufficient padding to keep the flow of Brown envelopes going. Poor people? No such thing as poor people in Thailand. Every one has jobs. Unemployment rates are zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
