Should the headline not read : 'Seven Foreigners And Four Thai Nationals".......

Not necessarily. The innocent and ‘trusting’ (note important name brand change) Thais would never have voluntarily chosen a life of crime….they were obviously corrupted by the evil, malevolent, and dangerous foreigners.

A State Enterprise Policy Committee meeting today (May 18) approved a rehabilitation plan for Thai Airways International

This is like coming up with a rehabilitation plan for a hard-core alcoholic which consists of giving him an open ended charge account at his favorite liquor store....but only on the condition that he returns the empty bottles.

Thai social media has turned on the national carrier wondering why they are eligible for a massive state bailout and loans whilst many Thais, now out of work, are struggling to get their 5,000 baht hand-out from the government or end up waiting in food queues each day.

Why?....it's simple. The Generals and their Hi-so friends need a means of free, all purpose air travel. We can't expect the nation's elite to actually pay for their airline tickets, now can we? Screw the the Lo-so out-of-work people....they don't matter.

AIS robots to help oversee Covid-19 measures at CentralWorld

Brilliant. What could possibly go wrong?

China has bought Thailand.....China has paid for Thailand...China sets the rules for Thailand...and China can do as they please with Thailand.

Director of the Maha Sarakham Highways District Office on Friday (May 15) denied allegations that the bidding process for the construction of four roads had been rigged.

An official denial is as good as an outright confession…

I am a huge boxing fan but wouldn't pay 1 satang to go and see this Ahole fight after biting off an ear .

Depends on the opponent. Now...If someone could convince Thailand's biggest, baddest, toughest, meanest super hero to take the ring for this bout, it would be the fight of the century. Personally I would gladly pay 100,000 Baht to see Iron Mike square off against Thailand's best.

Prawit urges New Normal in Smart Cities

Are we really seeing the words 'Prawit'...'Normal'...and 'Smart'...in the same sentence?

Netizens have slammed this behaviour, with many saying this was unlawful and legal action should be taken.

What's the problem? These are simply good, honest, and conscientious Thai citizens who saw that an accident had blocked the road and decided to stop, help clear all the rubbish out of the way, and reopen the road. They should be commended for their selfless efforts and sense of civic responsibility.

U.S. airlines tell crews not to force passengers to wear masks

US airlines are great for adding fees for most everything. So…maybe they should divide aircraft seating into ‘mask’ and ‘no mask’ sections. Charge a ‘no-mask’ fee of $300 dollars for anyone who opts to buy a ‘no-mask’ seat.

No...not if I can help it....I'm actually beginning to like this mask thing.

Whatever happened to happiness and reconciliation for the Thai people promised 6 years ago by the PM?

Happiness and reconciliation is mandatory…except when it is forbidden.

Won't be enough tourists to fill minimum hotel requirements to make a profit if they all open. Bearing in mind staff costs, they may have to operate with reduced staff.

But bear in mind the well thought out and highly sophisticated Thai hotel business model. You simply raise prices as needed to compensate for the lack of customers.

Chula virologist says discipline keeping Thais safe

Hopefully this will turn out to be a success story.

Still…it would be interesting to compare the accurate number of people officially reported as infected with a true and accurate number of complete tests actually performed. As one way to keep infection rates statistically low might be to submit only a small number of people to complete testing. No real test = no real positives.

Factor in that the government regularly shows great creativity with numbers, and is compulsively…economical…with the truth, and you’re left wondering.

The usual suspects lining up to be chief American lapdog. Fact is the Brits and Americans should investigate their own responses to the pandemic before any others. Between them tens of thousands have died because BoJo & Trump got it so wrong. 

So….the UK and the US (not to mention Italy, Spain, France, Iran, Canada, Belgium, and another one hundred plus countries) should be blamed because they didn’t adequately anticipate, prepare for, and react to a biological event….that originated/was generated….in China? Seriously?

PM gets thumbs up for dedication to fighting Covid-19: poll

Ah….a clever PR plan by the general. Keep borders open, welcome Chinese plague carriers, create a huge pubic health problem, put millions of people out of work, deal tourism a mortal blow, devastate much of the economy…all so a government Super Poll can recognize his genius. Absolutely brilliant.

Thai PM says no billionaires offered financial help to Government

Maybe because it has nothing to do with helping the country…it’s just one more money grab/shakedown attempt by a very shameless and very greedy government.
