The poor police in the crossfire of the media.
Also the other institutions, where power prevails about humans, should not be forgotten. Military, public administration, customs office, land office, justice and others.
Corruption is the cancer here.
The example of, how Hong Kong has got rid of its corruption,
Thailand should be allowed to make a copy.

Courageous and progressive article.
Military people are used to giving commands.
These commands have to be followed without any question.
This is how the military works.

Good media does exactly the opposite.
Media ask uncomfortable questions, creates publicity and transparency.
This is a systemic problem, when the actors are caught in their roles  and can not think laterally.
 

CAT Telecom meanwhile, is to install submarine cabling to connect Thailand to its regional neighbors and establish it as ASEAN’s Internet Hub.

Money saving tip:
Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia are your regional neighbors.
It's not necessary to install submarine cabling to connect Thailand to its regional neighbors.
Landlines are a lot cheaper.
 

Thai traffic police are notorious for setting up checkpoints in order to collect small bribes from drivers ....

True.
Even if everything is ok.
Car technically correct, all papers correct, driver's license ok, seat belt strapped, no traffic rules injured etc.
Nevertheless you have to pay.
As a lump sum is collected from everyone as a "transit tax."
And this is not legal, so it is robbery.

Someone probably discovered how many Chinese submarines and tanks they could for 13,1 billion baht.

That is surprisingly nearly the same.
1 submarine for 12 billion or 3183 ngv busses for 13 billion (before import tax).

 

And I thought Pattaya would be the new family holiday destination.

What is the military strategic purpose here?
Who is to be frightened?
Illegal fishing boots?
This could be done 100 times cheaper with speed boats.

In a military dispute, these technically obsolete submarines are immediately gone.
Enemies  need only a single modern helicopter that throws a few locating buoys and a small anti - submarine cruiser throwing the charges.
Waste of taxpayers money here.
Also does not make any military sense.

$1 billion deal.
So much money, for nothing.
How many schools and hospitals could have been modernized with this money instead?

Guess he has seen Terminator 1 on magic mushrooms.

The committee is expected to finish the fact-funding investigation within a few days, she said.

What a waste of time and resources.
He already admitted that he stole the paintings.
What other facts does the Committee hope to find?

I checked her web page and according to it, she is charging as you say 19,000 baht for 2 hours, for 12 hours 60,000 baht.

The web page looks very professional and it mentions rates are not subject to negotiation.

Lots of pictures, looks like she has had a boob job, at those rates she can afford one. She is good looking, but I have seen better in walking street. 

Lots of escort web sites in Bangkok, the average looks like around 6000 baht for 2 hours, so she is definitely at the far far, out of site end.

 

True.
If you are looking a little bit more around, you can find pretty escortgirls for 6000 baht for 10 hours with a nice service profile and 3 shots include. Much more valuable than the 30 minutes in Taiwan for 2500, or the 30-45 minutes  walkups in Hong Kong or the soulless 30 minutes encounters in many European cities. Also the Short Time Gogos in Thailand are not particularly appealing and are actuality very expensive (2500ST+600BF+400Drinks+400STHotel).

 

Director-general of Department of Intellectual Property?
busted with three paintings worth THB4,650 at the time of his checkout.
Money without end but not ready to pay the artist 4650 baht.
It can not be any more stupid.

That MUST be a joke?  A$1,000 for 2 hours?  That's a return business class air fare Melbourne to Bangkok!!

One too many zeros??

I wouldn't be saving anything on Gorgeous Cherry, even If she donated her 'charms'.

555
Nope, the numbers (19.000/25.000) are correct.
Google her page.
But you are right. She priced herself far at the upper end.

Fun-sided I prefer my nymphomaniac private fitnesstrainer woman.
Always exercise units for 4-5 hours nearly non stop.
After I pay her 2000 -2500 Baht in exchange that she goes and leaves me alone before I get a heart attack.
So depending on the exercise unit, intensity and duration, the price varies between 687 - 1250 Baht per shot.
Hope that helps with your price researches.

What is the asking price in Thailand?  Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket?

I don't use them, but am interested in what guys are prepared to pay for a shot.

Incidentally, I don't condemn anybody who does, just interested.

I like Gorgeous Cherry an independent Thai Escort in Bangkok.
Google: Gorgeous Cherry Escort Bangkok, and you will find her.
Currently she is running a discount offer: only 19.000 Baht for 2 hours.
Her normal price for 2 hours is otherwise 25.000 Baht.
Where else you can save 6,000 baht within 2 hours.
Bargain.
 

Military strategic absolutely zero benefit.
Pure waste of taxpayers money.
Obviously for all.
The only reason for this submarine purchase, everyone knows.
 

Is here anything that is bought with taxpayers money, which is free of corruption?
I have my doubts.
Corruption is here like a cancer that proliferates and proliferates.
 

Hope they open more the doors for newcomers.
Diversity, especially with the current bland beer from the Thai Oligopol, would do well for a change of taste.
But the powerful oligopolists, will not leave any space for beer innovations.
Enjoy the present triple piss.

Annoying, I've forgotten my 2 weeks - Nana - Orgies - Party money.

Did they find the leak?
There must be a leak in the higher positions.
How else is it possible that the right answers can be bought before.
Who develops the examinations and how are the examination documents managed internally?
Too bad that there is no further information.

.....had instructed the governors of the flood-affected provinces to warn people and manage their flood prevention systems....

Flood prevention systems?
I did not know they had such.
I wonder, why the southern provinces are all flooded then.

Country’s expenditure budget this fiscal year is estimated at 2.9 trillion baht...

Wonder where all the money remains and seeps away.

The expected rise results from .... as well as Thailand's investment in infrastructure, ....
Yeah.
 

On the other islands it looks the same.
 

The expected rise results from an improved outlook for global tourism as well as Thailand's investment in infrastructure, Deputy Prime Minister Thanasak Patimaprakorn told reporters.

Guess Deputy Prime Minister Thanasak Patimaprakorn sits in Bangkok and has not seen the flood damages in the south on site.
Plenty of streets and bungalows have been washed away, there is sand and garbage everywhere. The sea has a dirty, brown color from the foliage and clay from the mountains, Water supplies are broken, electric piles are collapsed, air traffic restricted, traffic main line to Bangkok interrupted, garbage collection disturbed. Everywhere water pools full with mosquito larvae, beaches filthy, etc.

So where are the relief funds from the government now?
If tourism brings so much money!

Sitting in the ivory tower and playing constant unrealistic on the harp, does not help.




 

The military administration must open the valve for controversial discussions.
It is important to listen to alternative ways in a society.
The constant shifts of election dates are not helpful.

Read the southern-thailand- forum.
