OK here is the deal: you manufacture the tires and Thailand- as usual- provides a lot of hot air...

If corruption an nepotism would be painful, Thai screams could be heard from Norway to Antartica

Education is important, especially when it comes to dismantling prejudices. If one is already a prisoner of his own mind, one can at least make sure that the cell is decently furnished.

What's wrong with these people in  Nakhon Sawan  ? There can't be severe floods because the government said there will be no such thing.

Didn't he say "Thai transparency" like in "Thai democracy" ?

It must have come as a massive shock for the powers that be! No wonder they're so utterly unprepared.

NOBODY! Who wants to be prosecuted for misleading the public?

20 mio Baht?

I doubt that you get a new Ferrari that cheap in Thailand.

GPS driving license. ...while all my neighbors take their kids from newborn to 10 years on their bikes with no helmet. and retarded and underage people speed through the sois without any license at all? Tzzzzzzz. Don't they teach the meaning of the word "priorities" in military academies?

Phase 2: Farrang, don't leave home without your satellite controlled electronic ankle monitor device, or face 8.000 Baht fine! And don't get caught in a Restaurant other than the one or two stated in your 90 day report.

...and from now on anyone who greets the deputy with "Aloha" will be arrested and face a defamation suit.

Strange, how does one inspect something that doesn't exist according to official statements? 

I could prove him wrong with one post on FB. But then I guess I would miss my friends birthday party next weekend, or even mine next year.

Nice to see someone competent and articulate in charge for a change!! 

How long can he keep the job speaking the truth?
