The Ministry of a Digital Economy and Society (DES) has noted an uptick in fake or distorted news that threatens social harmony

The DES can rest easy....the government is still the unquestioned leader in the ‘destruction of social harmony’.

No one else can even approach (or uptick) the massive torrent of fake/distorted news they’re churning out on a daily basis.

They make an exceptional 'hub' of lies, hypocrisy, treachery.and deceit.

The Czar’s committee of viral vaccination verification (VVV) has approved an amulet which will provide proof of vaccination. Wear of this amulet will be mandatory at all times.

(NOTE) These magical amulets are restricted to Thai people only.

Much of the world has indeed gone to pot. Might as well make that income now. Legalize! 

Won’t happen any time soon. Extorting bribes from cannabis users is a reliable income stream for every police station in the country. They will never agree to give it up.

he Revenue Department has dismissed, as groundless, a report widely circulated on social media that it is charging value-added tax (VAT) on COVID-19 vaccines being procured by private hospitals

An official denial....means it must be true.

The IB swooped and arrested seven Chinese nationals and one Vietnamese - none of them had passports or other documents. 

After being swooped....it was revealed none of them had passports, other documents, or sufficient cash to pay an ‘on the spot’ fine.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's health ministry said on Thursday it had proposed new travel curbs and tighter restrictions in high-risk areas to contain COVID-19 cases

The situation may look dire to rabble-rousers, naysayers, and disloyal trouble makers…but the Hero-Czar is still safely hidden under his bed and valiantly leading from the rear.  Everything is 100% under control.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha chaired the cabinet meeting today (Tuesday) via tele conference, as he began his self-imposed home quarantine

This is serious. Just to be on the safe side....the Viral Czar should be totally locked down and completely isolated for at least 25 years. Can’t take any chances with these disease things you know.

Any tips about where to go, who to ask for &c much appreciated.

Go to the head office of any bank and tell them you are in the process of buying a 36 million Baht condo....and need an account to receive the funds.

Does Chon Buri (Jomtien) Require Proof of 800k?

Think of Thai Immigration as being a collection of franchises (something like 7/11s) rather than one organization with uniform and consistent ways of doing business.

Most of the franchises follow most of the same rules but there are exceptions. You’re essential at the mercy of the franchise in your neighborhood.

If you don’t like the way your neighborhood franchise does something….there are sometimes agents who can persuade them to accommodate you.

RCPT is urging the government to procure quality vaccines, of all makes

To the Thai ‘leadership’ this is more of a money making opportunity than a public health crisis…..giving China a virtual vaccine monopoly provides for generous kickbacks and maximizes the profits going into official pockets.

Any officials who are found guilty will be suspended and prosecuted, Gen Anupong said.

The crime is not when corrupt officials steal money…..the crime is when corrupt officials don’t share with their corrupt bosses.

I do give an automatic dirty look at them, I almost can't help it, and they usually notice, and they always know the reason for it, but they never fix the problem in response.

A dirty look is not enough. You should take a firm stand and never hesitate to directly challenge these depraved miscreants. They are in need of public shaming and a sound thrashing….every last one of them. It’s your civic duty.
