And how exactly do you think you ended up with this, or indeed any other job?
Frankly, having any family with generations of prime ministers in it goes to show the level of corruption, nepotism and actively going out of your way to ignore the very people you claim to represent.

The most powerful position in the country of Thailand....And out of 60-70 million people this would be the 2nd close Thaksin family member to get this position after Thaksin ??

 

Well folks if you were only 99.9% sure politics was a horse and pony show in Thailand.....This should make things 100% clear.....

I’m sure all the talented masseuses will give him a hand….

a) hair dressing/barber shop operation is indeed a "Thai only" profession as so stipulated in the "Alien Business Law"
b) the average Khon Thai will never ever pay 500 - 4,000 Baht for a hair cut
c) since the guy has been in business for that long, it can only be assumed that some zealous barbers in the +/- 100 Baht league went to alarm the authorities who, in turn, started the hunting of the dirty farang. 
d) instead of pissing around like cowards, the local figari thailandesi might want to study, why a farang gets that much more money for a hair cut than the usual "bowl on head and cut around" league 

I do not feel sorry for the Swiss guy, he knew exactly what he was in for. It is a special kind of stupidity to "provoke" the Figaro congregation on the island - serves him right! Unless he has an otherwise clean record he will be requested for the little brown manillas 😉 

Manilla will decide the case

Guess it will lead to a huge rise in tea money at these local testing stations. 

Sounds like a nice little earner

There is some exceptionally good pointing here….

Listen to your colonial masters, Siam autonomous region of China

including a thorough examination for drugs and alcohol in his system.,

as well as his bank account I expect

Probably means it’s time for more holiday and discretionary spending abroad for those who can…… Airline tickets of course bought abroad with untaxed funds.

I’m not sure that anyone contemplating  moving to Thailand would get a hard on over the idea!

Well done, RTP.

Massa, you sure is right!

Los loves vague laws, which are sporadically enforced. Discretion is in the hands of bib, and can easily be turned into cash

I expect it’s a good little pot boiler for some people…..

She must have gotten special and expensive lessons in France. This is an expert finger pointing. Straight, with an upper bend, as well as distinct and really marking the specific subject that is lost. Hmmm... however that now can be possible. Anyway, thanks for another pointing picture. It goes into my collection of more than 2 300.

As an experienced pointologist, I have to agree with you. A good point starts with perfect balance: the mere soupçon of a body inclination suggests the thing that was lost, and the tableau is the wrapped up by masterful finger position.
