Covid-19 second wave to hit year-end spending by Bt16 billion, economist warns

There is no reason to be concerned….

The government’s brilliantly conceived, meticulously calculated, and flawlessly executed tourism stimulus plans are guaranteed to produce in excess of 52 gazillian bajillion Baht over the next 30 days. This will more than compensate for any minor and temporary "second wave".

But a 'state of emergency' still remains absolutely necessary.....just to make sure.

Deputy PM instructs relevant authorities to ensure road safety

Once a week…. one of the court servants is detailed to wake the deputy PM….

“Sorry to disturb your rest Excellency, but it’s time to order something."

“Good, I’m getting hungry….bring me a family pack of KFC, six Big Macs, a kilo of French fries, two dozen Krispy Kremes for dessert, and a few liters of Sang Som to wash it all down."

“Of course Excellency…your normal mid-morning snack. But first could you give us your weekly instructions for the peasants? They get distracted when no one tells them what to do.”

“I don't know.... just think of something that sounds good on TV.....no one is going to listen anyway. Now bring me my food....so I can eat and get back to sleep."

“Of course Excellency. Very good, Excellency."

Who, if anyone, took bribes is being investigated and a big meeting is planned when new information could be forthcoming

This is too funny…..

The people guilty of bribery will have to bribe the people investigating bribery….in order to be found not guilty of bribery.

There's never a dull moment.

The authorities in different areas have pledged not to tolerate corruption on the occasion of International Anti-Corruption Day December 9.

So....no one will 'tolerate' corruption on 9 December....but on 10 December we're back to normal.

City Hall checks on overpriced gift baskets

Over-priced gift baskets once again threaten the peace and serenity of Thai society. 

A persistent, recurring problem of this magnitude calls for at least three primary committees, a dozen or so sub-committees, and an unlimited number of working groups.

But the people should rest easy knowing that Pol Lt Gen Sophon is on the case….he has an uncanny eye for gift basket scofflaws.

20,000 foreign tourists a month set to come into Thailand

Thai tourism: Foreigners likened to fish that need to be caught to spur recovery

Standard Thai operating procedure....

No thought is given to a stable and proper business plan...and no thought is given to honestly providing a quality product for a fair price.....

It's all about trickery, guile, deception, fraud, and 'slight-of-hand' to cheat visitors/customers out of money.

Welcome to Thailand.

Thai Charter Court files police complaint against protest leaders for allegedly insulting the court

So much for the government having an independent judiciary….

So much for the government having respect for the rule of law…..

We see again and again the military regime using the legal system as merely a tool to suppress free thought and free speech.

It’s gone far beyond sad….it’s become an obscenity.

Prince Harry suggests COVID is rebuke from nature

Come on people….where’s the love?

Poor Royal Harry has led a difficult life…burdened with posing for endless photographs and wasting hundreds of millions of other people’s money on frivolous nonsense. No easy task….but he’s done a splendid job.

And now Ms. Markle’s virtuous commitment to social justice is presenting him with additional challenges. To further the cause, he has moved into in a plebian 14.7 million dollar home…with only sixteen bathrooms! Hard to believe one man can withstand such horrific privation….and yet still find time to preach his holy gospel to the world.

His unwavering commitment to pompous, pretentious, hypocrisy is clear….and he’s developed into a first=rate media junkie and an exceptional attention whore.

Education Ministry threatens to sue Bad Student group

Clearly the Ministry of Education‘s (MOE) major concern is not education…but control.

Their objective is to create a submissive, compliant, and obedient population….who will do as they’re told and not question their ‘superiors’ And the MOE is operating straight out of the Junta playbook of pursuing objectives through threats and intimidation.

But suing a bunch of students? If they don’t want to be seen as foolish…they shouldn’t make a habit of doing so many foolish things.

Charter Court acquits PM Prayut Chan-o-cha

The result....was never in doubt.

The Hero-General has an absurdly large army (for a country with no intention of ever fighting anyone…except unarmed Thai people), lots of really expensive, scary weapons (some of which theoretically work), billions upon billions of (choose your currency) stashed away in an endless number of world-wide banks,....and a complete lack of honesty, integrity, ethics, and morality .

He also has an extensive collection of the exceedingly rare and highly prized…”Protection from the Law” amulets…which guarantee lifetime immunity for any and all crimes.

The Constitutional Court was no doubt much impressed with such...extraordinary credentials.

Police, court officials to have discussions ahead of ruling on PM

Because everyone knows that the fix is in and the result is a foregone conclusion.

This will only prove the protesters right once again..and pour more fuel on the protest fires.

This stupid, narcissistic, egomaniac remains determined to drag the country down further…and further...and further.

Hua Hin: Beach restaurant fined 1,000 baht for menu violation

Well done...

Menu violations have long been a vile, unconscionable, scourge on the good reputation of Thailand.

Encouraging to see the regime has its priorities in order.

Pattaya: Drainage projects deserted

Another example of the Hero General’s unmatched brilliance and clairvoyant precognition….

Through his superhuman powers of foresight, he has correctly predicted a drought next year. So obviously there is no need to waste money on unnecessary drainage projects....

The Thai people are indeed fortunate to have such a wise leader…always looking for new ways to serve the people.

Where exactly are they supposed to 'report' for training....?

And who exactly is going to 'train' the staff of some 500,000 restaurants....by next month?

A classically Thai excuse for a... classically Thai extortion scheme.

If that is true then why did the US Navy run away ?

The story was written and released by the Moscow Reuters office.....they're there to produce official-government-approved Russia-friendly news. That's what they do.
