Teacher knifed to death in France after showing class cartoons of Prophet Mohammad

Remember….we must learn to use the correct terminology.

This wasn’t an outrageous, obscene, cold-blooded, deranged, psychotic murder….it was an emblematic example of vibrant cultural diversity.

There…that’s better.

Hunt on for foreigners after daring escape

If they’re Uighurs….they’re way up there on China’s ‘hit list’. So they were probably looking at being handed over to the Chinese and shipped directly to a concentration camp. Good luck with the get-away guys….hope you make it out of Thailand.

Rally shuts down Govt House as protesters demand extraordinary Parliament session

You have to admire their determination, their bravery, and their sincere, genuine patriotism. The future of Thailand depends on these young people...who are risking their lives by daring to look the corrupt, profiteering army in the eye take a bold stand for the country's freedom.

Thai PM pushes tracking app for foreign tourists, denies it’s like "Big Brother"

Yet another dazzlingly brilliant brainstorm from the Hero-General.

Once would-be-tourists find out about the rare opportunity to have every moment of their holiday tracked by Thailand’s famous “Not-Big-Brother” secret police…they will be irresistibly lured, enticed, tempted, beguiled, charmed, and seduced by the sheer wonder of it all.

Build more hotels...happy days are here again.

Govt studies "Land Bridge" idea to connect two seas

Sounds like an ambitious...

...and expensive project ordered by Supreme Headquarters in Beijing. But, in a typical gesture of fraternal camaraderie, the big brothers will no doubt make it a fifty-fifty deal.…

Thailand will pay for…and China will own it.

Arrival of Chinese tourists in Phuket under STV scheme delayed to Oct 26

And as the most ‘special’ of Special Tourists from the Heavenly Kingdom….

…it’s a safe bet these VIPs won’t have to fill out massive volumes of nonsensical visa paperwork, jump through an endless maze of bureaucratic obstacles, or suffer the full range of quarantine imprisonment.

That’s...of course...if they actually show up...

Thailand is pushing back plans to receive its first batch of foreign tourists

Mainly because this so-called 'first 'batch' doesn't exist.

TAT can float as many fantasies as they like....but face it Thailand, you've screwed the pooch by making tourism far too labor-intensive, far too exorbitant and far too painful.

No one is interested.

Pattaya: Bali Hai landmark development a total mess and waste of 100 million baht, says Thai media

How can they say it was a waste....?

Most of that money went straight into the pockets of the ‘right’ people…who have wisely invested it in important commodities like real estate, new cars, jewelry, designer handbags, expensive watches...and countless other things essential to stimulating the nation’s economy.

Hardly a failure...just another example of Thailand's far-sighted government hard at work.

Phuket Postpones Reopening to Foreign Tourists

Or….is it maybe that the lack of foreign tourists has…postponed the reopening of Phuket?

Someone used my card and bought stuff for 25,000 THB. The police did not bother much when I reported the matter.

You have to help the police help you. Now if you had offered them say…30,000 Baht cash up front….they probably could have solved the case (and maybe even gotten some of your money back) within the hour.

The poll also conclusively found that 99.9999 % of the Thai people strongly believe Thailand should borrow a trillion Baht to buy a fleet of vintage, low-mileage, hardly-ever-used Chinese submarines.
