Foreign ministry: 20,000 foreign tourists a month set to come into Thailand

What?  240,000 is a far cry form the 40 million they were anticipating last year.  This influx is sure to revive the tourist industry!

I do believe the verdict has long been decided.

Skeleton of 3,000-year-old whale found west of Bangkok

Perhaps, to clarify, the headline should read "3000-year-old skeleton of a whale found west of Bangkok"   I strongly disbelieve a whale lived for 3000 years.  Methuselah only lived for 969 years.

Abhisit criticised the junta-drafted 2017 Constitution for suppressing democracy

‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…’

stringent inspection of vehicles to find those emitting black smoke.

It is pretty obvious which vehicles are emitting black smoke - just observe - no 'stringent' inspection needed!

Is this the same visa one gets on arrival at the airport?

Thailand's financial experts have said that only eight million foreign tourists from all over the world are likely to visit Thailand next year.

A sister story...TAT predicts 11 million tourists from China/East Asia in 2021 - targets "Singles' Day" sales packages

Now I am confused... who to believe?

And on and on and on in perpetuity!  We have you under control now so let us continue!

If my math is correct that is 1.386 million police officers unless the sentence is poorly written.  Perhaps they mean 14,000 officers drawn from 99 regiments.

Perhaps he was tailgating the truck that sprays the tack coat!  The truck may have had a leaky valve based on what I see of Thai maintenance!
