  1. As a young RAF airman my first overseaes tour, in 1961, was Malaya where draft Tiger Beer was consumed and the same discussion on preservatives frequently took place. The never proven opinion was that formaldehyde was an additive. Seems like urban myths have longevity. Then, the Tiger brewery was in Singapore and transporting keg beer 500 miles northwards by truck in the sun coupled with external storage more likely affected the beers flavour. Also on tap were the Aussie beers Swan and Emu. I can't recall those being criticised.
  2. These land owners are not, as stated, evading tax but avoiding it by putting the land to use. An annual tax is levied on land which is unused for any purpose. Many influential people living in Bangkok own huge percels of land in the Provinces and avoid taxation by planting the vermin tree Eucalyptus. I suspect the root of this problem lies in how the use of the land is declared in Land Department records.
  3. The cabinet approves 11 billion Baht in the hope that it will improve the electrical supply to Samui? Forget transparency in this project, it will be hidden on the sea bed.
  4. Hardly a fair contest especially if water buffalo are used. ????
  5. No. That would suggest that the RTP Smart BMWs are ineffective and result in tarnishing the image of that respected Thai institution......

  8. But if they do that thecstats will be in TATters....???? Notice the headline is in the past tense meaning Vietnam is in the lead.
  9. Somchai stood on the burning deck,Whence all but he had fled;The flame that lit the vessel's wreck,Had started in his bed. With apologies to Felicia Hemans
  10. The young leaves from shrubs grown in the cool uplands are plucked at dawn by a team of non- mensturating Thai virgins and rushed to onsite driers to produce a product whose fragrance is lauded by connoisseurs across the globe.......????
  11. Their Chief Accountant used to work for TAT.
  12. You will have to conduct a poll on Welsh sheep....
  13. Its possible the car driver couldnt see the chaser in his mirrors and changed lanes causing the collision without deliberation. He almost certainly knew he was being chased. Did the bike have 'blues and twos'?
  14. If his lawyer is unable to win the case he could be nicknamed Star Wars and constantly referred to as "Oh that wan ka Nobi"
  15. This year, water guns will be replaced wwith submachine guns. Enjoy!
  16. I wish I had a job which paid a salary just to eat and drink as 'work' Perhaps it's to lure in customers.
