But to be fair there’s probably more chance of winning the lottery than being killed by a bomb. My concern is whether this is the start of something bigger or a “one off”. 

.......or will martial law be enacted?

SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

72,000 (retirees) x 800,000 (baht) = 57,600,000,000 Baht

And that's just the retirees

Ha ha ha x 1,000,000

yeah yeah yeah

and have they also pledged not to eat sleep or drink whilst they are in government? This would be more believable. 

Not sure why this is headlined as a crisis. A very small fish in a very big pond. Probably better described as natural attrition or evolution in a very competitive market place

Does the online reporting actually work?

My experience has been that if it’s done within 24 hours it works.

Not to mention the industrial uses of industrial hemp and the enormous number products the would also benefit society.People seem to ignore the whole subject of industrial hemp,it is the strongest natural fibre on the planet. 

And doesn’t require the enormous amounts of herbicide and water associated with cotton farming. This is the main reason hemp is banned because the chemical companies lobbied against it a hundred years ago by demonising because it threatened their bottom line.

I have watched some of my Thai friends bemoan the fact that they could not go to Chumporn nor Chiang Mai for a holiday, too expensive for thai, over the last 4 years... Mmmmm ?

Now they can take their families to Japan, Hong Kong and UK.

Somehow I don't think they saved the money to go on holiday.

No none of them won any jackpot either. So.....

Do they work for the government in positions of management? If so I have a fair idea where their new found wealth came from. It’s quite amazing the amount of syphoning that goes on by a lot of people in those positions.

but did not know which cabinet post he would be assigned, saying jokingly that he might be named the energy minister.

Perhaps Minister for Maritime would be the logical portfolio. 

Could be worse. I could be married to her.

When I lived in India, you would regularly see a local curling one out on the side of the road, but even they were discrete enough not to do it in a crowded street. It shows a shocking level of "shitty" manners to do this in front of people eating. Clearly he has no shame whatsoever, but he is Chinese, so a quality tourist apparently.

 

India was and still is a mine field. 

I’ve got a couple of expired credit cards that I’m sure would offer instant pain relief if anyone is interested. I’d let them go for 1200 each. No low offers please. Price is firm. 

I tip my hat to him and hope all goes well for him. The big P is not known for his sense of humour and has wafer thin skin. If he’s not already left the country he’d be wise to set up camp in his embassy.
