    Navy drone intercepts diesel smuggler off Phuket

     

    The fishing boat was initially suspected to be carrying some 1,400 litres of illegal marine diesel.

     

    However subsequent precise measurements using official, approved, unquestionably accurate, super scientific Naval equipment showed that the fishing boat was, in reality, only carrying 50 litres of illegal marine diesel.

     

    After paying a 500 Baht fine the boat was released…while the somewhat heavier Naval vessel reportedly returned to port.

    While they are at it - why not make it permanent? Also useful to handle the students.

    (I guess they are thinking about it)

     

    That may not be far from what’s planned.

     

    Even if (at some point) they 'officially' stop renewing the Emergency Decree….it’s more than possible that the most repressive aspects of the ‘emergency’ will simply become permanent fixtures of everyday life. Who has the firepower to disagree?

     

    So....some twist of ‘Martial Law Lite’ may be with us for a very…very long time. After all, what sort of illegitimate authoritarian state would want to let a good emergency go to waste?

    Not at all sure how you find a tangible plausible link to China  but  up to  you !

     

    Okay...what it means is that this government will never do....anything...that could potentially anger some countries....particularly and especially China. Which only means that the 'without exemption' part of the CCSA statement....doesn't really mean 'without exemption'. It means 'sometimes without exemption' and China is an example of when...it...will...not...apply. China does whatever it wants in Thailand.

    Not quite the same  situation  as  slipping off  to a  condo with no  supervision or  even the approval of the other residents. Does the approval of Thai authorities for that does  also imply the rights of  the other occupants of the  condo are of no consequence in favour of brown nosing some  Diplomat??

     

    Yes...it directly implies that the rights of ordinary condo occupants are of no consequence to this government if it means potentially angering...China. Not Estonia, but...but China.

    ...from now on, all foreign diplomats and their families entering Thailand will be subjected to 14-day quarantine at state facilities, without exemption.''

     

    Right....as if the 'without exemptions' actually means...'without exemptions'..

     

    Can you imagine what would happen to the Immigration Officer who insisted on stopping a Chinese diplomatic passport holder and...subjecting...him to an involuntary 14 day quarantine imprisonment? 

     

    The offending IO would likely see a 50 year course of quarantined attitude adjustment.

    PM visits Sisaket

     

    You have to admit…the staff who dress the General every day are really on top of it. All the Isan trips come compete with snappy ‘common farmer, man of the people’ costumes.

     

    Wonder what delights the wardrobe wizards will have spun up when General finds reason to court the ladyboy community….
