Choosing cheap Chinese Products over Thai jobs

By needchange, Created on: 17/10/2010, Last updated on: 24/11/2015

» Everyone knows the story of what has been happening in the US in terms of the trade deficit with China. If you go to Walmart, almost every product sold there comes from China. Walmart is America's biggest retailer if I'm correct. The trend is the same at many other retailers around the country. So...

• drake commented : [quote="Voice":1vwk1lbc]Hello needchange! I do agree with you there about Thailand should encouraging our Thai companies to be more productive which could help our country in this economic crisis. [/quote:1vwk1lbc] Say, Voice. There isn't really an "economic crisis" in Thailand right now. SET has gone through the roof this year and the exchange rate is at the best it's been in over a decade. The state of general prosperity, that is something else completely different. [quote:1vwk1lbc]As Thailand still has cheap labour our good could be compatible with China or we could go for quality good items like electronic gadget as such.[/quote:1vwk1lbc] Industrial advances or economic prosperity and employment does not have a direct relationship these days as robots can do a large number of jobs better and cheaper than man. 'Cheap labor' alone just don't cut it anymore. Look at India and Mexico and ask yourself why aren't they ahead of China ? [quote:1vwk1lbc]The government should invest more in it people rather prodding in single area of agriculture. Even in the area we still cannot beat China for the best price for we can make.[/quote:1vwk1lbc] If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The [i:1vwk1lbc]leadership[/i:1vwk1lbc] for this country, and I'm being overly generous with that word, are without a clue. They are stuck in a box, a very small box. They shuns new ideas and concepts. Most of them can't think of anything beyond their own gains. Sacrifice and service, that is just hollow propaganda for someone else. Yes, the country should invest in the people and their education but there are several other major obstacles. The fanciful social & environmental responsibility directive is one. I mean, who in the right mind would want to deal with the new worker's rights and environmental redtapes on top of the corruptions and the Manana attitude when they can go to China, or VietNam, or Podunk and won't have to deal with most of that ? Then, on the physical side, the country has anemic shipping infrastructure and inadequate supply of electrical energy. Without electricity there is no industry. Look like VietNam got that msg loud and clear and is seriously doing something about it by committing to a Nuke. Thai govt., well, they are still tooling about on that subject as if they've got all the time in the world. They might get around to decide to [i:1vwk1lbc]talk[/i:1vwk1lbc] about this sometime after hell froze over and all the foreign Green Nut NGOs or (foreign) special interest lobby had stop meddling, and all the officials agree on their piece of the pie. I mean, they've only been talking about digging a canal across the Kra Isthmus (คอคอดกระ) since the day of King Narai and nothing has been done so far beyond kicking the tires and a lot more talk. There's always t[i:1vwk1lbc]he next life[/i:1vwk1lbc] to get around to do it, right ?

[/quote] It's time for the old leadership here to move out and for others to make a decision for real dramatic change. I don't agree with your points about Thailand having too many regulations because I don't see it. In fact, Thailand is probably as open as any country in the region to industry. As for vietnam getting more business lately they are just new and cheap to the marketplace. If anything, corruption goes a lot further there when it comes to foreigners. Thailand's laws against foreigners investing in Thailand are just wacky at times. Some think it's a good idea to have nuclear power. North Korean is the perfect model for that I guess then. A country with nuclear expertise whose people are living in the stone age. Having nuclear tech doesn't mean a darn thing. Lets hope that Thailand's neighbors don't have any accidents as that would basically kill off all of southeast asia. Let's just home the tech is more advanced and those monitoring the plants have higher quality standards than those at Chernobyl.

• Voice commented : Hello drake, sorry for late reply I’ve been too busy lately. I am glad that you enjoying Thai economy. But how many Thai factories have robot to do the work? While Chinese economy still uses lots of cheap labour to keep their economies running. What would happen if the world stop using people and all turn to robot only there won’t be any consumer left to buy good that were produces so what you think is going to happen?

They just don’t know anything else apart from learning to counting the money from corrupting agenda, that all they good at. As I said before Thailand should invest more in its own people.

• drake commented : [quote="RogerRamjet":1wadzho8]drake, I would suggest you read the following page; http://energy.sourceguides.com/business ... olar.shtml Thailand has been making solar cells/semi conductors/hydro/etc for the last 15 years I know of. I was invited to a manufacturer's technology exhibition at Muang Thong Thani 15 years ago and all the technology you talk about was on display then. The fact that it is not being promoted by the government as a clean alternative rests with the Thai bureaucracy. When I was asked if I would participate in a project bid by Kumagai Gugi I demurred for the simple reason I would have to submit the same documents to 7 different ministries, none of which knew what I was talking about with the exception of the Thai military. The simple fact was, that unless trained overseas, the Thai Ministries "experts" had no technical knowledge in that area, so they just hid the documents to save face. Hence no approval would be forthcoming. If you wish to find out about the problems involved, with the ministries involved, just go to the Board of Investment on Viphavadi Rangsit Rd. and talk to any of the foreign countries representatives. And Thais with vision have the same problems, hence they remain small![/quote:1wadzho8] Hello Roger, When I said [i:1wadzho8]'solar cell mfg. plant'[/i:1wadzho8] I'm referring to a [i:1wadzho8]SemiConductor Fabrication [/i:1wadzho8]facility and not [i:1wadzho8]assembler[/i:1wadzho8]. The kind of plant that takes blank silicon wafer in one side and produce finished solar cells out the other side. My info has it that there are only [i:1wadzho8]module assembly houses[/i:1wadzho8] in Thailand and they imports the cells from elsewhere. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that. Thai redtapes, apathy, lack of gray matter in subjects at hand, and unclued Phoo-Yais I'm familiar with. You know, the overseas trained experts standing around nodding their heads in agreement but haven't got a clue what you are talking about kind of scenario. Used to dine regularly with a DG of a dept in the Ministry of Industry back in the days so I think I've got enough data on how far up the creek the system is and how much grease it does take to get something going.... What I've been discussing with Voice here, though, is a [i:1wadzho8]what if [/i:1wadzho8] scenario. Let's say that if we are not impeded by the culture and existing constraints, what would we do to turn this country in to an industrialized economy like Taiwan, Korea, or Singapore. What kind of practical infrastructure would be needed and what kind of [i:1wadzho8]activities[/i:1wadzho8] are required. It's a pipe dream but if we provide the visions someone might get ideas. Got to start somewhere, right ?

Do you speak English Khun Noy?

By surapong, Created on: 26/07/2010, Last updated on: 07/01/2016

» Ms Noy’s gonna need some English lessons in order to pass her tests to prove that her command of the language is good enough before being granted her visa. The number of Thai women from the Northeast marrying foreigners is rising every year. Over the past few months, almost 2,000 people have shown...

• adamt64 commented : This rule is a double-standard, where Thais don't get visa without knowledge of the native languages in those countries, but citizens of those countries get visas in Thailand without any knowledge of Thai (or English for some Germans). English is supposedly the second language of Thailand though, so the Brits are trying to do a couple of things with their rules. The Germans are flexing their might and distaste of the SE Asian prostitutes obviously. Like it or not, Thailand is famous for supplying prostitutes, drugs addicts, and other criminal types worldwide, and Thais sometimes become a nuisance to foreign nations with social welfare, treatment, rehabilitation, etc. These new rules, if they're strictly enforced, represent the power of the G8 nations and their distrust of outsiders. Thailand is an efficiency economy according to the World Economic Forum whereas the G8 wants innovation economies and their people. Those countries are slowed down and burdened by their own people, and can't afford to or don't want to give so many privileges to foreigners, but that's not unique in this world either. There's a double standard on the other side too, though, in the naturalization rights of Thais who marry citizens of those nations as opposed to the non-reciprocal rights of citizens of those nations who marry Thais in Thailand...the rights to buy property and lack thereof is another double-standard which favours Thais rather than whites...so oh well! Thai women should probably start getting a clue about what's going on in the world and if they have so much to say and if they can defend themselves so well, then they should learn how to speak a little so people can understand them...and the foreign men should probably make a couple of changes too. English and German are not like Thai either, so non-native speakers attempting to speak those languages will likely have more luck than Thai second language speakers. It's not a perfect world. This isn't a conspiracy, and it's not such a great injustice if we're to be honest about the entire issue.
