Find em  quick !  You can outclass an entire  Nation by donating  errmm? 

[Huckster]

Lol that's around € 55000,- 
What a joke...

[Soidog]

So so generous

not like they don’t know the value of things. 3 Million baht insurance cover for many people in a particular visa. 800,000 baht in the bank for every foreigner on a Non-O wishing to extend for retirement. 
 

2 million baht. Totally embarrassing. I think the UK people recently fund raised £100m. That’s 4.3 BILLION baht

They are going to spend more than that housing and repatriating Russian tourists on Phuket

Waow, good  man  good hearth, Ukrainians should be grateful for the rest of their lives

Should have been less... but I understand nations are being asked to virtue signal their fake allegiance... lol. This world is so immoral, it's no wonder we have survived as long as we have as a species on this planet.

Yes... even less. It sends a clearer message that we the Thailand government understand that this entire Ukrainian thing is a ruse...

What "pictures" are you looking at? The ones from the ongoing conflict since the West's coup de tat, regime change operation unseating the democratically elected leader of Ukraine? The ones that show the Ukraines now puppet regime failing to abide by the Minsk II accords? Do you really think the images your getting from either side are legit? There is an even more robust information war at play here... I don't believe any information from the "News" sources and if you are still listening to what we call MSM then you are a... $#&*($#($#( No really, you are a complete $#&)(#*$()U$()#*$()#

In 2019 Zelensky got 73% of the democratic vote. These were votes by normal Ukrainian people. I have no idea where you get the idea Zelensky is a puppet regime. What evidence do you have to prove what you say? I don’t believe any single news source (unlike the Russian people are being subjected to). Russia has invaded Ukraine and is now indiscriminately killing innocent men, women and children. Try convincing these people your unsubstantiated “theory” is true!

Those are so compelling... I stand corrected.

Coup d'etat?  The last election was held with full public transparency and can be considered to have been more democractic than many western countries' method because it had a general election and then a run off election for the  2 top result earners. President Zelensky received 30% of the votes in the general election and then 73%+ of the votes in the runoff. The incumbent Poroshenko had 15% then 25%, This was with a 63% voter turnout.  Poroshenko accepted the result and is even out on the streets suppotying President Zelensky. He is not making accusation of coup d'etat.  The 2019 election was held with international monitors and there were no complaints made. The Ukrainian government is recognized as legal and legitimate.

I think maybe you just wish to  make trouble with claims of "conspiracy". There are live cameras showing tragedy ongoing. We see from respectable legitimate news sources what is happening.  2 million baht donationis an insult to everyone. Thailand was quick to stick hand out for money after Tsunami. Thailand also quick to ask for medical research money. The Japanese put this much in a week on some of their tropical disease  projects. maybe Thailand could offer to take in some of the  children and orphans if only for a few months. Better the kids can stay at some empty hotels in beach zones and recover from PTSD of Russian crimes against humanity.

If I can recall that right, "Thailand" (the government, Taksin at that time) was opposed to "sticking the hand out" for money . 

"Thaksin said: We do not want the world to think we have a bad economy and we can look after our own people." 

Probably not b/c  that was just a coast line +1k desaster, with a "full functioning country" behind, but because of face and knowing, where most of the money would land. Also trying to prevent to fill up the money bags of the political opponents.

Anyway, that did not stop people IN THAILAND, to ask for money for the "bad situation they were in after the tsunami". Lots of them quickly "found" money, for new motorcycles or cars or such. And I include expats there too. They had a better year after tsunami, by the looks of them, then in every year before and after that.

2mln baht is an average salary of Ukrainian qualified worker... this would save all in Ukraine

More accurate to call out as an insult to the people of Ukraine.

You said it...

Have you ever lived in Ukraine? Lived and worked in the Eastern Donbass? Do you have a clue about the history of Ukraine beyond this week's disingenous MSM outright lies? Unless you are there, or fully understand the conflict there... you simply cannot know what is actually happening there. There is a full on propaganda/information war going on, on both sides.

Sorry but I don’t do conspiracy theories. Russia may well be able to limit and control what it’s people see. It’s state controlled media and tight controls over internet access means that can be successful. Impossible with the multitude of western news outlets and first hand account news reports. 
 

However, to indulge you a little further. No matter what was, or is going on in the Donbass, it doesn’t justify the all out war Putin is waging on the innocent people throughout Ukraine. If it’s so terrible then provide the evidence. Take it to the UN and present it. Call in Western independent media and let them report it. Even Russians are sickened by what this narcissistic animal Putin is doing. So should you be! Mind you, there were plenty of Hitler and Nazi sympathisers. So you’re going to get the odd one here. 
 

Finally, please don’t post links from total nut job fake news websites like Daily Expose. If that’s the level of proof you have then I’m not interested. It’s utter garbage. I’m done discussing this with you.

Two million baht....less than one baht for each person who has so far managed to escape to neighbouring countries.

At the same time Govt. suggests hotels should reduce rates for Russian tourists effected by the collapse of their currency etc- shouldn't the Russian Embassy be providing assistance?
