The military set up anti corruption committees, especially the saw paw taw, which has reduced corruption remarkably. 10 hours ago, Neeranam said: Read the news and you'll see that great aria are being made to ago things like under the table money to enter schools, paying for good grades etc. Tell me one country that doesn't have corrupt MPs? How about corruption in the military, any reduction there? I read the news. It isn't great: https://tradingeconomics.com/thailand/corruption-index Claiming all countries have some corruption is a common excuse for ignoring corruption. Some countries work to reduce corruption, others protect protection. Thailand falls into the latter category.

Call Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 As simple as this: "Sustaining higher productivity growth will require removing constraints that prevent new firms, especially foreign ones, and skilled professionals, from entering the domestic market." Anyone tried getting a work permit, outside the dozens of forbidden professions? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The requirement for a small foreign business to employ FOUR Thais is counter productive; a small but popular restaurant in Bang Saray had to shut down because there was not enough profit to pay the unnecessary workers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike324 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 high income nation with the national education average as bad or even worse than a third world country! Thailand's Education Ministry has the most budget in the country compare to other ministries, Thailands education budget is also one of the highest around the world believe it or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBKK Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 On 1/17/2020 at 3:46 PM, Samui Bodoh said: I have some experience translating the gobbly-gook of WB reports. "Thailand; unless you reform your Education System greatly, you will forever remain a backwards, low-growth country that perpetually envies more advanced places. And, all of your neighbours (beginning with Vietnam) will surpass you over time (including Burma). Period." The key to this report, although they don't say it plainly, is that the growth of productivity requires a well-educated workforce. And, a well-educated workforce requires massive, massive reforms in all levels of the Thai Education system. Step 1. Enter the Headquarters building of the Thai Education Ministry and fire everyone working there. Immediately. Literally everyone. These people created and perpetuate the current hideous, child's brain-killing monster. Step 2. Enter the office of every Provincial Education Ministry office in the land and fire the top ten staffers. Immediately. Yes, this might sound dramatic, but it is a serious proposal. These are the people who created the current, unsustainable, Frankensteinian-working mess and there is no doubt in my mind that they are unable to fix it. Fire them today, literally today. Step 3. A massive audit of how Education System monies are spent to catch all the theft. Fire at will. Fire thousands. Then fire another thousand or two 'pour encourager les autres'. Step 4. Make each Head of School responsible for the grades of their students and unless more than 50% of students pass the standard test each year, fire them. Immediately. Then, begin the real reform of the Education System. With a chain saw. I am completely serious about every word in this post; it is only the blueprint to getting started... This would be plan for Italy too, expecially primary and secondary education. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have put all this in bold so that Yinn does not pass by. Besides, we don't see her on this very interesting thread; Yesterday I was in Khon Kaen, one of the largest cities in Thailand; when you just pass it it looks beautiful, new, clean (especially if you pass at high speed ) ... But if we visit the streets adjacent to the highway that crosses the city as I do every time I come there. We discover another Thailand; that of poverty, of ones full of stray and famine dogs; dozens of houses for sale, others started and abandoned; hundreds of vehicles in the form of wrecks ... When it explodes, and it happens very quickly, it will hurt a lot. and it is not the new toys that the military in power has just bought that will change anything. They will be swept away like straw Photos shot less than 500 meters from the motorway which pass in front of Sirikit Public Hospital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realize what you just wrote? Look at what's going on in Europe; millions of immigrants arriving in countries where there is already 20% of the population unemployed (and barely 7 or 8% who receive allocations); the goal of Big Capital is to level everything down; both in Thailand and in the rest of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
