Icandelo lezokhenketho eThailand lijongene nexesha lokuvavanywa. Ngeemeko zoqoqosho lwaseThai ezithatha ukubetha kunye ne-baht ebuthathaka, yintoni egcinelwe icandelo lezokhenketho laseThai?
Iindaba ezimbi zigcwele ukubikezelwa kwemihla ngemihla ngexabiso leoli; ukunyuka kwamaxabiso okutya; iintlekele zendalo kunye noloyiko lwezopolitiko. Ngaba oku kuya kuba nefuthe elibi kuhambo olude lwetrafikhi lwaseThailand kunye nohambo lwasekhaya?
Ndiyakholelwa ukuba ishishini lokhenketho laseThai likwisiphambuka esibalulekileyo. Indlela urhulumente waseThai ajongana ngayo nokunganeliseki okwandayo kwamaxabiso aphezulu kunye nokungabikho kokuzithemba koluntu kuya kuvavanywa ngokukhawuleza ukuba banokubonisa njani ukuba ubomi babantu bemihla ngemihla bumiselwe ukuba buphucuke.
Ngumsebenzi onzima lowo kwaye uyakufuna ubunkokeli obugqalisele elizweni phambi kwakho. Nangona kunjalo abaninzi abakhi-mkhanyo bezopolitiko bakholelwa ukuba oku akunakwenzeka ngolawulo lwangoku.
Esona siphumo sikhawulezileyo sokunyuka kwamaxabiso eoli kukuba bambalwa abantu abahambayo. Ingxelo yeshishini yamva nje iphakamise ukuba ukuthuthwa kweenqwelomoya zehlabathi bekuhlile kwaye zimbalwa iihambo ezenziwayo xa kuthelekiswa nexesha elifanayo kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Isidingo sokuhamba sijongwa kakhulu. Ukongezelela koko iingxaki zezoqoqosho zeenqwelo-moya ezijamelene nama-50 ekhulwini eendleko zazo zokuhlawula nje amafutha kunye nokuncipha kwesiseko sabathengi. I-THAI International (TG) isandula ukurhoxisa iinqwelomoya zayo eziya ngqo eNew York kwaye yanciphisa ishedyuli yayo yaseLos Angeles ukuya eBangkok ukusuka mihla le ukuya kwizihlandlo ezihlanu nje ngeveki. Kuya kubakho okuninzi okufanayo kunye nokuvalwa.
Umthombo woshishino ohlonitshwayo ubonise ukuba iinqwelomoya zinezikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezinkulu, amafutha kunye neentlawulo zokumisa kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseThailand saseSuvarnabhumi. Iinkampani zeenqwelomoya zitsala nzima ngokuhamba kwemali. Iinkampani ezininzi zeenqwelo moya ziya kujongana nemeko enzima yemali kwiiveki nje. Amaphepha elizwe sele enike ingxelo ngokuvalwa okunokwenzeka kweNok Air, ngenxa yelahleko enkulu. I-airline yebhajethi ephantsi ingumntakwethu wase-THAI.
Otyhafileyo uya kuwa ngasendleleni, Ke wona oqinileyo uya kucutha umva. Iindlela ezimbalwa, ukhetho olumbalwa kunye namaxabiso anokuba phezulu. Ayisiyomeko esempilweni yeshishini elixhomekeke kakhulu kwinqwelomoya ukuthutha abakhenkethi, kunye neepesenti ezingama-80 ezifika ngenqwelomoya.
Ukunyuka kwamaxabiso eoli akuthethi nje ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kodwa kuthetha ukunyuka kwamaxabiso. IVietnam kunye neIndiya zinezinga eliphezulu lokunyuka kwamaxabiso e-Asia. IVietnam inkqenkqeza phambili kuludwe ngama-25 ekhulwini. Olunye uxinzelelo lokudada kwi-dong lunokukhokelela ekuhlalutyweni okuya kuba nefuthe eThailand nakuMzantsi-mpuma Asia.
I-baht, i-currecny yaseThailand, ilahlekelwa kukukhanya kwayo, idola ebuthathaka idale i-baht ekhangelekayo eyomeleleyo kodwa jonga ngononophelo kwireyithi ye-baht / ye-euro kwaye i-baht yenze buthathaka ipesenti ezisi-8 kwiinyanga ezi-3. Ubunzima bokufumana iikowuti ekuthengeni i-baht kwangaphambili kushiye abambalwa ukuba bacinge ukuba ukulungiswa okubalulekileyo kunokwenzeka. Iindaba ezimnandi zokhenketho lwaseThai kunye nokuthunyelwa kwempahla kumazwe angaphandle, kodwa zibeka uxinzelelo olukhulu ngakumbi kurhulumente ngokwenyuka kwamaxabiso njengoko ixabiso lempahla evela kumazwe angaphandle linyuka.
Amaxabiso okutya aba yinkxalabo yehlabathi. Ukutya kwamafutha kunye nokunqongophala kwerayisi zibamba iintloko zeendaba. Irayisi yaseHom Mali, irayisi enevumba elimnandi yaseThai, inyukile kunyaka ophelileyo ukusuka malunga neBt 900 ($28) ngengxowa nganye (50kgs) ngasekupheleni kuka-2007 ukuya kwiBt 1850 ($58). Inkukhu nehagu nazo zivukile. Inyama yehagu ngepesenti ezingama-50 xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka ophelileyo. Isiphumo esishiyekileyo, iindleko eziphezulu, kungekuphela nje kubathengi basekhaya kodwa nabakhenkethi.
Intlawulo, amandla kunye neendleko zemathiriyeli ekrwada, kulo lonke ibhodi ziyenyuka. Izithako kwimbiza yokupheka kwezoqoqosho zijonge ukubilisa. Indlela urhulumente azipholisa ngayo izinto iza kubaluleka kwixesha elifutshane. I-OPEC ifuna ukukhokela, kodwa ngaba bazimisele ukunyusa imveliso? Abaninzi abacingi. Ngeedola ezingama-250 nge-oyile yomphanda ixelwe kwangaphambili, abavelisi bazo zonke izinto ezinqabileyo, banokulindela inzuzo enempilo, kodwa ngeyiphi indleko? Abantu bamazwe ahlwempuzekileyo ehlabathini baya besiba sesichengeni njengoko ukutya kunqongophala yaye namaxabiso enyuka.
Yaye kuthekani ngorhulumente? Lo mbhali akazange abe nexhala lokuba ilizwe lijongene nomqobo womdla we-bi-polarised oya kucela umngeni kwabona politiki banezakhono. I-People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) kunye neqela elichasene nedemokhrasi alinanto yakwenza nomanyano olulawulayo olukhokelwa yinkokeli yePeople Power Party kunye neNkulumbuso uSamak Sundaravej. Okuvuyisayo kukuba uninzi lokuthunyelwa kwenziwa ngaphandle kolwazi lwabakhenkethi abatyelelayo, nangona kunjalo ilizwe lijongene nexesha elinzima kwaye ambalwa kakhulu amalinge okusombulula iingxaki zoqoqosho ezikhoyo zivela kurhulumente ogxile ekubhaleni ngokutsha umgaqo-siseko, ukuvumela lowo wangaphambili. abahlobo kunye nabezopolitiko babuyela emandleni.
Kodwa ngawaphi amabala aqaqambileyo? IGunyabantu lezoKhenketho (TAT) lisenamandla okuba banokufikelela ekujoliswe kuko kulo nyaka kwiindwendwe ezizigidi ezili-15.7 kunye neTshayina, iIndiya kunye nokhenketho lwezonyango olunceda ukunyusa amanani. Kwaye mhlawumbi siza kwenza njalo, kodwa njengowayesakuba nguMphathiswa wezoKhenketho we-D. Suvit Yodmani echongwe ngokufanelekileyo, umgangatho hayi ubungakanani mhlawumbi yinjongo enemveliso ngakumbi kugunyaziwe wethu wezokhenketho wesizwe.
Ngamagumbi amatsha ehotele alindelekileyo angama-20,000 aza kunxibelelwano eThailand ngo-2011, uxinzelelo lwabatyeleli abaninzi ukuba bagcwalise la magumbi matsha luya kuba phezulu kubanini beehotele. Iindaba ezimnandi zeearhente kunye nabakhenkethi… kufuneka igcine amaxabiso ehotele ekhuphisana kwiminyaka ezayo.
