Swimming at Phuket beaches still allowed, confirms lifeguards

What does it take to believe this makes sense?

Phuket’s tourism situation ‘back to normal’, says V/Gov

...and so are all our world-renowned safety standards to air, land, and sea.

Politics? What politics? It's more about brown envelopes for brownnosers.

Among its core policies are pushing for Thailand to become the largest entertainment hub in the world

 

You mean a circus?

 

Already is mate.

Among others, why does the Thai government house a small domed roof? They are characteristics of every decent circus. 

Ever wondered why the Creator made the UK an island?? Safety measures!?

There appears to be a whole lot of Thai teachers who do not understand money management

They can always consult a 'money management expert' among officials near them:

Evidence found in about 49 out of 76 provinces. Misappropriation of 85 percent of funds that were allocated for the poor and for HIV patients, the Office of Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission said after finding evidence of US$ 3.2 million missing.

So, another Trump bankruptcy by the looks of it. Still a few to go to reach daddy's 6.

...and she ensured the media it has nothing to do with drastically increased import taxes on her rags taylored in a Chinese sweatshop.

"We protect marine life from mussel catchers, dead coral collectors and fish feeding russians. Eh,by the way, is that another tour boat sinking slowly in the west?"

driver admitted he drank “four or five” bottles of beer before passing out

There is nothing worse than amateur beer drinkers. “Four or five” bottles of beer wouldn't even make a halfway decent bavarian breakfast, or qualify as motivation enhancer for an average Irishman to walk from the bar to the mens room.

Note to myself:

avoid walking around tall buildings under all circumstances!

Thailand claims to have a formula for everything, except how to run a democratic country. Or maybe this is a typo and they meant to have a 'form' subject to tea money for everything to run the economy.

PRIME MINISTER Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday insisted the mobile Cabinet visit to Ubon Ratchathani this week was to hear public opinions on the administration, despite speculation that the secret agenda of the trip was to woo former MPs.

With a sick DPM he may declare it some kind of 'Medicine Show' sing a couple of songs, and read his poems. The only reason for not doing this is, in that case critics already threatened to get him for tax evading by running an illegal mobile entertainment venue.

Could we have the name of the restaurant who supplied him his food during the last 24 hours ?...unless of course the cook has already been transfered to an "inactive kitchen" at the "Bangkok Hilton" ?

At the TAT they are probably considering turning the restaurant into an attraction as the highlight of a pilgrimage for local tourists. There is nothing sacred if it makes money. ?

Wonder if they checked and treated all the other symptoms the patient shows.

but it wont matter as there is no enforcement anyways.

...and if caught red handed, they will find a Chinese importer to blame.

Always better than their male counterparts:

...and these TAT guys get paid for this?

Calm down guys, Thais would never do this...

And the lyrics of his next popular tune will start with:

"Blame another one, just like the other one"

Good morning America how are you? Oh sorry, still sleeping...

Now I wait for the tRump, as the inventor of modern US diplomacy, to send them a box of Sinatra CD's and an autographed hard copy of "The life and times of Frank Costello."

Once again, the Thai judicial system shows the massive gaps between good and bad justice. It may take these folks a year or more before the trial is heard and the judgments given. This is far longer than any subsequent prison sentence that the crimes they are charged with would receive. And at the end of it, guilty or not guilty, they are all going to be deported. Not quite sure how this is supposed to represent justice?

The wai & bailout service is available for locals only. Got it?
