Can a mod please open the sandpit a little early today, i think the children had too much sugar in their breakfast this morning and they are running amok... finger paint and toys everywhere - its chaos!

Bloody expensive!

Rice-pledging scheme could 'doom Yingluck'

We aint that lucky...

Plodprasob admitted that one of the three US aircraft to be used in the Nasa study had a history of being used on reconnaissance missions, "but as far as I know, it has not used [for that purpose] anymore".

Isn't this the same guy who brought you the "Boats on the river to move the water faster" solution to flooding? I put to you this guy doesn't know jack sh*t!

He said Thailand was chosen because of its unique geographical and climatic features - the country has land and sea, it is located between two oceans

Oh hang on a moment, i could be wrong about this guy... he seems fairly clued up...

Will this chimp ever go to jail?

Btw, does your son know how to use sniper rifles?

With his new job, he will probably learn quite quickly

About as serious as they are in governing the country in a transparent manner with the countries best interests at heart.

"Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra said the BMA had a plan to construct three more giant water-drainage tunnels in the capital to better prevent flooding."

Last year he blamed PTP for not doing enough. He had 9 months time to do something but now when the rain starts he talks about constructing more water drainage tunnels. I guess by next year they will be ready.

Sounds like he got one built this year... if central government gives him enough cash, he will get more built - i would guess

Didnt the government say there was a short fall in tax monies and they needed to find a way to generate more revenue to pay for their policies/budget next year?

Hint: Here is a way to save some 7,000,000 THB

As my grandma used to say, watch the pennies and the pounds will watch themselves.

No one can criticize this Bangkok government.

He is above the law.

Go Wiki his name to find out.

Seems most of PTP feel they are above the law as well... nothing new in Thai politics

Are the muslim freaks at it again, dam_n this people have got a serious chip on their shoulder !

Sounds like those 'slim girls are jealous they aint getting enough!

Don't the MP's get money for each committee they sit on? I thought i read that somewhere buy cant find it now...

If that is true - it explains the desire to have a committee about everything! Its just another way to waste tax payers money and feed the piggies at the trough.

I recomend Southern Cross - a friendly, active Auzzie guild who do a lot of WvW

Their recruitment forum is here;

So let me get this right... a city built on the low lands/marsh lands/flood plains gets a few hours of surface water after a very heavy rain storm and then central government starts blaming and accusing the BMA of not doing its job...

11 provinces further north have been flooded for a week or so... perhaps the governments energies would be better directed dealing with that mess first? Don't you think?

Lastly, barely a puddle this morning in the areas of Bangkok i travel in, and last night there were several cm's of surface water... justsayin.

Splash away,chaps, this is not quite the disaster you are portraying.

The government seem to be the ones splashing around now - with i think it was reported 11 provinces now officially flooded and then central government trying to blame the BMA and point fingers when there's surface water after a heavy rain storm...

Those interested in knowing where the funds went should go check the other news website, there is a news story there accounting for 7m THB being spent on a pointless "water management study trip"

I didn't know about the number of injuries... missed that report.

Wasn't that the hospital the reds raided and kidnapped patients out of (to parade on their stages)?

Doesn't that violate all kinds of human rights, in itself?

(not to mention show the red protestors to be the lowest of scum to ever inhabit the world)

I wonder how many innocent civilians would have been hurt or killed had the granade attack on Sala Deng BTS station had actually hit a train?

The main problem of the democrats is that Abhisit is not a leader, just the pretty face on the election poster and, for the people behind the scene, the fall guy if (actually when) everything goes wrong. Abhisit is not the sharpest pencil in the box but he should have understood that before accepting the job of "leader" of the democrats and PM.

The main problem of the PTP is that Yingluck is not a leader, just the pretty face on the election poster and, for the people behind the scene, the fall gal if (actually when) everything goes wrong. Yingluck is not the sharpest pencil in the box but she should have understood that before accepting the job of "leader" of the PTP and PM.

See what i did there?

Why doesn't the public pressure the Yingluck administration for answers over the Sukhotai, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani floods?

She would have to turn up and do her job in order for that to happen

Guess someone in the government is running short on money... time to refill the trough for the little piggies to feed
