What is it with this Government's obsession with the banning of alcohol?

It’s part of the new, simplified twenty year plan. Everything that is not mandatory must be forbidden…and everything that is not forbidden must be mandatory.

But he said that expecting foreigners to arrive in droves on October 1st and spend 1.2 billion baht was completely unrealistic. 

Where has he been all this time? Government tourism numbers are.....always....completely unrealistic.

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Thai government has mandated that COVID-19 patients who have never been vaccinated must receive one dose within three months of getting infected.

So….does the Thai government also mandate that all of these people will have open access to vaccination?.....or are they on their own?

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai lawmakers began a censure debate against Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha and five cabinet ministers on Tuesday

Following their arrest 30 million in assets was seized including 18 million baht in 10 kilo weight gold bars, a house and land, cash in bank accounts, 2 cars, and four motorcycles.

This asset seizure thing is beginning to look like a pretty profitable 'new normal'.

Jo said he was trying to get information about drugs and was acting in the public interest to protect children from the drug menace.

See?....it's all a misunderstanding.....he was just protecting the children.

Not bad for someone who Daily News reported yesterday as earning just 43,330 baht a month. 

The government is full of people who know how to budget their money. Look at the PM....his official salary is something like 140,000 Baht per month and he owns an entire army.

As always…..government decisions are  driven by the size and weight of the ubiquitous brown envelopes.

hai prime minister Prayuth Chan-ocah is furious about the case and had ordered immediate action to protect the image of the police. 

Protect the image? This.....Mister PM......is both the image and the reality of the police. You're only furious the because truth has been exposed....again.

....police should concentrate their efforts on these in line with the wishes of the people.

According to several reports, one popular reform suggestion is that the police should begin allowing the public to pay bribes using credit cards.

No surprise here. The loyal, doctrinaire, military-led National Culture Commission of Thailand must ensure that all Thai ”art”…..is a dutiful expression of correct thought and political reliability.

Absolutely astonishing how one’s quality of life can improve so dramatically in such a short period of time. It’s been like a magical vaccine for all of life’s psychic and spiritual difficulties.

The involvement of Thai celebrities in a state-backed anti-corruption campaign prompted online outrage on Friday

Wonder how much these ‘celebrities’ had to kick back to the National Anti-Corruption Commission to get a part in this stunt.

Allegedly gathering…..another degenerate and habit-forming practice brought to Thailand by those rascally foreigners.

I'd like to think if I ever had the opportunity to swindle 3 billion baht, I'd also have the sense to leave the country the next day

But everyone can't just leave the country. The real lesson learned is that if you rip off 3 billion Baht….make sure the boss gets his cut.

Thailand's Kasikorn research thinktank has completely reassessed their predictions for the number of foreign tourists likely to visit Thailand

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said today (Wednesday) that he is seeing signs that the COVID-19 spread in Thailand is slowing and the pandemic may reach its peak soon

Translation: “Letting people know the truth about how badly we’ve buffooned this crisis isn’t working….it’s time to go back to lying about everything.”

The PM stressed advance planning and transparency in providing first, second and third doses of vaccine. 

Never fear....the Czar has assembled a team of the world's most respected specialists to save his job…uh….the country. This team of qualified, trusted, focused, and like-minded advisors remains at the Czar's side day and night..…guaranteeing that the government's enlightened and carefully planned vaccination plan will stay on track.
