    Last one in, again

    Database, Published on 06/01/2010

    » Never in Thai history has a story that didn't happen so dominate the news and clearly emerge as the Technology Story of the Year; just before the New Year, your TOT flipped a switch that started providing bandwidth of the third-generation kind in a couple of obscure corners of Bangkok, but in truth, 2009 was the year that Laos and Cambodia totally humiliated the telecoms state enterprises by leaving Thailand a far, distant last among Asian countries providing 3G service to yuppiephone subscribers.

    America bashing at Esplanade Mall

    By gohmer, Created on: 09/05/2010, Last updated on: 11/06/2011

    » I putting this post up because it is related to international relationships with American citizens living and visiting Thailand. It illustrated to me that little is known about America by most people in Thailand, in fact, I think that few in the world truly understand what America is about and how...

    • ipsut commented : by others. You said that our current wars were not instigated by "your" generation. True, but then they never are. They are started by old men ( fact,), which are then supported by the silence of most of those young that fight them. I sure do not loath my country, but do understand when others are not appreciative of our "help" such as when our govenment had an official meet with a red shirt leader a few days ago. I do not think the meeting had the approval of the Thai govenment.

    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...

    • faranginkorat commented : I graduated college in 1978, when nearly 40% of US employment was in value-added manufacturing. That percentage is about 10% now. During the recent (current) depression in the USA, I have noticed that while manufacturing has been only about 10% of the employment, it was typically 30% of jobs lost in the monthly data I saw, meaning it has decreased even more rapidly recently. Cheap Chinese goods have had a lot to do with that. Consequences include loss of high paying jobs, huge deficit, weakening dollar, and high unemployment. Causes, however, are rarely discussed. When lazy, uneducated and recalcitrant workers expect more pay in a day than Chinese workers expect in a month, where do you think manufactured goods will originate??? When unions extort ridiculous wages and benefits under threat of closing factories they are protected by the government. When organized crime does it, it is called protection money and is illegal. Disability claims, affirmative action, social security taxes.................................................................... Where do you think international companies will build the next factory? Where do you think they will close the next factory?? And thus we are watching the decline of America. The origins of this situation were in WWII when every other industrialized nation was bombed into the stone-age and had 2 generations of men disappear. After the war, America had unique comparative advantages and prospered almost uniquely in the history of mankind. Now those comparative advantages have mostly disappeared and the return to more "normal" circumstances is not pretty. I expect it to continue to get worse, much, much worse. What happens when all the factories are gone and nobody wants the rapidly inflating currency anymore? Answer: Return to the stone-age. Thailand is now prospering, albeit on a smaller scale than the US did after the war. Hopefully Thai people will learn from the mistakes of America and Americans. A few suggestions that are good for individuals and the country as well: Invest in the future, do not borrow from the future to waste today. This includes educating the young as best as possible, and building factories for employment. Buy high quality items that do not go into the trash soon after being bought. Buy Thai when possible. The Chinese can not flood your country, markets and economy with stuff if nobody buys it. These all tie together,as the capital for building the factories should come from the collective savings of people who produce more than they consume. Understand that this is an issue that will be determined by the people, not the government. Each day people go to work, and every time they goto the market, they make decisions that collectively determine the present and future health of the economy. The government can not and will not do this for you. Good luck with it.
