Don't insult pla ra.

Pla ra much more popular than Prayut ????

And it's slightly less obnoxious, too.

Thais would go first but foreigners then the homeless or tramps

So relieved to finally have official confirmation that we are classed one tier above tramps.

Miranda Priestley would cringe and purse her lips.

But maybe it's time to bring out my Jesus t-shirt again, as well as my Shoko Asahara hoodie and  Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi necktie.

This is premeditated aggravated assault, plain and simple. What are the police waiting for? A medical report? It does not matter how serious the injuries are. Assault is assault.

To our Mainland Chinese friends:

Quickly now! Stampede to the all-you-can-shovel-onto-your-plate-and-subsequently-leave-behind-uneaten shrimp buffets while you still can! Time's running out!

What the people in this country don't need at this moment is government spending on ambiguous "projects" (of whose budgets a huge amount is going to be siphoned off by the usual suspects anyway). The people need direct, intangible aid and assistance.

I wonder how many of these cabinet ministers who so generously approved this aid package would be able to make-do with a 1,000 baht per week.

The BP stated that the current law is.........anyone who is sentenced to more than 2 years anywhere in the world cannot stand as an MP.......it seems this was simply ignored.

 

As blots go, Thammanat is a monstrously ugly, indelible blot in Thailand's copybook.

A monstrously ugly, indelible blot? You are very kind, Sir. Personally, I'd rather describe this sad excuse for a human being as a blistering, pus-oozing boil on Thailand's backside.

And when the government feels compelled to resort to a shady, morally bankrupt character like this dude to act as a "trouble-shooter", I get goosebumps of horror.

And apparently, his past is even murkier than we previously thought. Apart from his conviction as a drug trafficker in Australia, in 1998 he was reported by the local press as possibly having been involved in the rape and subsequent murder of a young man. The charges were eventually dropped.

Of the total 6,072 are from Myanmar, 5,114 Cambodia and 882 crossed from Laos. 

Amazing how exact these figures are considering they all supposedly "sneaked" across the border.

It's not "an estimated 6,000 from Myanmar". No, it's exactly 6,072. Somebody must have counted them one by one. Which then begs the question why the weren't prevented from "sneaking".

rediculous prices and he found most of the beer swilling, drug snorting, swearing, loud, beefy, sweaty women

Maybe he should have conditioned himself in Patpong, Nana Plaza or Soi Cowboy before embarking on his trip. Just a thought.

Well, if they're being paid 10 Euros per hour rather than per day, that might make a difference in what they can afford to pay.

You surely mean 10 euros per hour -- minus substantial deductions for compulsory social security contributions, retirement fund, and income tax.

The insurance would then be valid for 90 days and would not cost more than 100 baht.

For that princely sum you can expect about 358 micro print pages of exclusions.

The Chinese calculators have an internal multiplication loop, known as the coefficient of exaggeration.

 

You forgot to mention the automated value-added function (a.k.a.  "compulsory commission parameter", cleverly named after the abbreviation for the Chinese Communist Party CCP). 

The pinnacle of irony is, of course, that the Thai government in 2017 (i.e. the very same government that's in power now) presented an award to Australia's ambassador in recognition of his country's highly successful efforts in combatting drug trafficking.

A lot posters on this forum spend most of their time yodeling.

And when more join in blowing their horns, plucking their strings and beating their drums we have a bona-fide symphonic orchestra at hand.

Nothing is ever that simple in Switzerland though, so your boxwise reasoning is just as likely ...

 

I have a different theory: Toblerone's triangular shape emulates the sudden blood sugar spike a consumer will experience after having ingested a couple of pieces.

But I could be wrong. It might well be in the shape of a Hollaredulliöööhhhh Alpengipfel. Matterhorn, perhaps?

What exactly is a PhD in Public Administration anyways ?

It means you are a highly skilled professional in the public sector who

- assists fellow administrators with financial injections from public coffers;

- corrects false asset declarations so they are not all too obvious attempts at cheating the revenue department

- helps curate the ailing personal bank accounts of colleagues;

- devises skimming schemes so the needy can acquire real estate and material goods that they otherwise could never afford;

- etc. etc.

Tells you that in Thailand it is the three C that counts: Connection, Connection, Connection. Nothing else matter!

And silly me thought you were perhaps alluding to "Corruption, Corruption, Corruption".
