  1. its upside down bit like your team....

    where do you watch AFL in CM?

    chooka is partial to the karaoke place near Chian mai gate on the moat

    Bit expensive apparently.

    I've also heard he likes to watch his boys at the Shamrock Pub.

    ummmmmm im in CM from the 17th for a week...but im not into Karaoke anyway i fly out the following sat morning so wouldnt matter if somewhere they stream a game live.
    The new star bar at the night bazaar, good old army mate of 30 years owns it.
  2. Wasting Australian tax payers money on his training when he is going to resign his commission at the end. What is the point and why not spend this money on another young aussie officer who is in it for the long haul. No time for these royals as they are a waste of money and past thier use by date.

    Don't be a hater. A lot of people join the military for only one tour but they still get trained up.

    Not a hater and have respect for him as a serviceman. I respect all servicemen and women of all nations, they serve thier countries with great pride. I salute Capt Harry and I served myself and stood proud to be a digger. That has nothing to do with my post where I said the money being spent on his training after he has given his resignation would have been better spent on another officer who is soldiering on for his country.

    So you're telling me that in your final year of service you stopped attending or partaking in any training or seminars? You were so righteous that you didn't want to waste taxpayers money that could have been used for new officers? If so, I salute you sir. BTW 10 years is not exactly a 'short stint' in any career.
    Final MONTH not YEAR. No I never stopped training or doing my job, but when I gave my notice I was never sent or expected to be sent on a junket across the other side of the world when there were others who were going to serve on. I spent my last few weeks in my position, doing civilian repat courses, medical and dental boards and basically preparing for discharge. Also integrated into the Individual emergency reserve.
  4. Listen in everybody so you get this right the first time, this is returning happiness to the people not a populist policy.

    if the Shin aligned people were doing this it would be called buying the people and corruption. The other side do it and it is legit and called happiness. I would really like to know if it was the reds giving away land and gifts to people in Chiangmai who would think it was acceptable. It's not acceptable regardless of which side is doing it.

  5. I thought we were told the external governments would understand. So the powers that be have realised that non-Thai governments and people read what is written in the constitution and laws and then base their opinions on that rather than the facile words they are fed. I appreciate the is very unThai but it is how the real world works. The sudden rush to explain will get the same junior diplomats nodding their heads going "ah ha" in the appropriate pauses in the lecture.

    If you recall his comments to the Australian ABC journalist he said "I know everything" I guess Uncle Too doesn't know as much as he thinks, to wound up in his own self importance. I bet his house is built from mirrors.

  6. That was quick!!!! martial law lifted 4 days ago, tourism already booming 4 days after... Thailand, the hub of funny news. And clowns as well.

    All these high end European tourists have been sitting by thier phones watching Thailand like a stockbroker watches the markets. As soon as martial law was lifted the phones went into melt down and agents where swamped. Down side is the hotels will now need all those rooms and the 50% off deals for Thais will have to end.

  7. Low entertainment value, kid. How about Boonsong explaining G2G rice deals, Surapong to talk about how Thaksin got his passport, Nattawut to tell us how to get trucking contracts with the government and why the rice got delivered to the wrong address, Jatuporn just for the punch-up.

    Thailand's Jerry Springer Show, the mind boggles !

    The guests wouldn't be allowed to attack each other though as that privilege would be reserved for the genial, should that be genital, mine host.

    would be a great show, the host throwing the mother of all tantrums dragging his summoned guests around stage by the ears and throwing banana skins at the audience as part of the pre show warm up. He could have a wall riddled with bullet holes and stains as a backdrop. It could be called the Uncle Too Show.

    If you like. And after the conclusive evidence of their crimes and their mangy excuses, they could have public executions as a climax. Not only would the show get great ratings, it would be good for the country.

    Save Yingluk for the season finale, with a teaser that her brother might star in the next series.

    We will probably never know about the finale because all the entertainment journalists will probably be used up in the first couple of shows.

  8. Will he use seats or a couch and do the talk show host thing ?

    My guests this week include by younger brother, the always popular and most welcome army commanders of regions ... and those lovely folks from Thai Researchers for Community Happiness. In our totally spontaneous and unscripted show everyone will say exactly what they've been told to say and will lavish praise on me which is richly deserved.

    Now sit back and enjoy, or else !

  9. Well I'm on a tram on my way to ethiad for the saints game, got to catch one before heading back to Chiangmai on the 20th.

    I hope the boys get a win for you chooka, even though I picked GWS.
    got here early, forgot about the daylight saving change, oh well where is the bar?

    its upside down bit like your team....

    Chiangmai is choking this time of year, visiting friends and family so took the the young bloke and wife to the footy for the experience. Young bloke loved it and I have him him brainwashed the missus is more of a challenge and didn't really understand it but loved the atmosphere and music. Heading back to Chiangmai on 20th wanted to via New Zealand.
