Lefties don't understand that THEY were the revolutionaries. The present-day Right are the counter-revolutionaries, trying to reinstate traditional normality and morality in a society that has been overwhelmed by debased Marxist collectivist ideology for 60 years. Most Leftist's strongest personal trait is cognitive dissonance. Only by doing comprehensive and complicated mental gymnastics could one conclude that the restoration of traditional societal values practiced for millenia is a bad idea.

They just gazetted a law change on 9 May. Many "Buddha" days have been exempted from the previous alcohol sales ban in airports and "tourist zones". In typical Thai fashion, the translation of the order is suitably confusing. But the local Pattaya interpretation is that bars and clubs are open as usual on Sunday, but sales at 7/11 may/will be restricted. This is Thailand - roll with the punches.

If only Ricky Gervais was a Murcan.

One could be excused for thinking the entire political class are fifth columnist traitors.

Yeah, sorry....two coppers on Somchai's sister's borrowed pink Scoopy doesn't equate with anything close to a high-speed chase.

The really amazing thing is that this carpark has been operational since about 2013/14 and it still works!

It's a bummer when reality gets in the way of your cultist religious ideology.

It ain't worth 350 kangaroo bucks and 3,500 baht to have your name published in a dodgy Pattaya newspaper over an incident involving a thieving coconut bar working girl. I'd pay 5 times that to keep my name out of the paper. He must have sharp eyes to allegedly recognise the girl wearing different clothes. Must have been something distinctive about her - assuming of course it was a she. This sort of stunt is usually associated with chicks that have dicks.

And the next All Blacks fullback will be a transexual paraplegic with Parkinson's.

This definition of post-modernism fully explains the new (un)reality. Many postmodernists hold one or more of the following views: (1) there is no objective reality; (2) there is no scientific or historical truth (objective truth); (3) science and technology (and even reason and logic) are not vehicles of human progress but suspect instruments of established power; (4) reason and logic are not universally valid; (5) there is no such thing as human nature (human behavior and psychology are socially determined or constructed); (6) language does not refer to a reality outside itself; (7) there is no certain knowledge; and (8) no general theory of the natural or social world can be valid or true (all are illegitimate “metanarratives”).

The House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha has become a rather boring B-grade TV reality show.

Somehow I doubt that a federal judge can dictate to the Executive branch as to whom can be issued with security clearances, or with whom they can or cannot transact normal business.

Maybe the left's next step is to go full-on "Harrison Bergeron" and handicap everybody in every pursuit to ensure total equity of outcome. Kurt Vonnegut's short story is well worth a read if you want to understand the lunacy. From the book: "THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General."

Obviously the engineer that built the steps wasn't top of his class in geometry.

In other news, there's a reason why there are so many jokes about lawyers going to Hell.

Just had an uh-huh! moment. Maybe explains why tourists from the Indian sub-continent walk on the road.

Thailand should play it safe and import all their steel requirements from Pakistan.

Subtlety wasn't one of her strong points. So many creative ways to leave lasting and more disruptive payback utilizing dead fish, a screwdriver, a hacksaw, and a small bag of builder's plaster.

I thought throwing habdfulls of 20 baht notes around was the strict purview of Koraen gentlemen frequenting gogo bars.

Bit of a gouge. 40 baht and 20 baht. Try this - Rock up with your Thai license, and a stern DFWM look on your face, hand over the Thai price exactly, change your DFWM look to a toothy widemouth smile, and tell them in Thai you're a Thai person. Works more often than not and usually elicits a laugh from the ticket issuer,

Moody's were asleep at the wheel before the GFC. They would probably rate an overweight 46 year-old BG on Soi 6 as a solid 9.5

The leftist radicals deny religion in favor of science being the arbiter of life, the universe, and everything. And then deny science when it doesn't agree with their ideology. Move along - nothing to see here.

With very few exceptions every person in a position of political or governmental power is corrupt, or has the propensity to be corrupt and/or corrupted. That's why the Magna Carta stipulated that "no free man may suffer punishment without the lawful judgment of his peers". It's in their psychological makeup. Power seekers tend to be narcissistic psychopaths to varying degrees.

You can bet some poor sod is on a fizzer for this. I'd humbly suggest there are procedures in place to prevent jets rolling out the side door during an evasive manoeuvre.

With these two most recent busts of brand name merchandise, there's enough contraband for the Mia-Noi of every BIB in Bangers to get a new Gucci or LV bag.
