It reminds me this quote from an article from Bloomberg reproduced in the link:

 

"Manoon Sooksrisang, 43, a rubber farmer in Songkhla province, said he gets 10,500 baht to 12,000 baht a month now versus 30,000 baht to 45,000 baht before. Manoon joined the protests in Bangkok against Yingluck’s government that eventually led to the military takeover after protest leaders said getting rid of her would lead to higher rubber prices. Now, he says he and his friends feel betrayed.

“It’s like a broken promise,” he said.

"Manoon Sooksrisang,  is not the first or last Khon Thai to feel betrayed by a broken promise. that's what makes it the Amazing Thailand.
 

 

Myanmar, Thailand incinerate illicit drugs worth $800 million

What the news report neglected to mention is the $16 million worth of drugs that failed to get incinerated.

My wife is a contract nurse and she loves her job

she gets paid

$26 per hour day shift

$32 Afternoon shift

$40 night shift

And $50 on public holidays

also her qualification is recognized in all developed countries( not in Thailand of course)

So knowing this, she is so happy that she not a Thai citizen anymore.

I am sorry but I do not understand this justification.  You have been accused.  Go to court and prove your innocense.  If proved innocent then sue for wrongful accusations.    I do not understand suing beforehand.

To understand how things work in LOS, you first need to learn how to walk backwards with your head buried up your ass, then you will fit in and all will become clear.

How do get a job as a traditional soothsayer forsooth? Do you need a PhD (Piled higher and  Deeper) on top of your degree in BS?

You will also need a BSC (Bronze Swimming Certificate)

You will also need a BSC (Bronze Swimming Certificate)

Its the Thai version of Ground hog day.

I have a friend who is a new comer to LOS and he has a love of Gaberdine clothing similar to the pic.

He was looking for clothing in Chatuchut market, where he was led to believe by a local merchant, that there is an Aladdin's cave of this type of clothing all wrapped up in bundles,

at an old army base or some such mythical place up in the north east.

Has anyone heard of or come across any genuine Gaberdine clothing stocked and sold in LOS.

If you have a secret map you can PM me, that way you wont have to kill me.

"strive to become a good host for foreign tourists"

Meaning ; give them a racist tag e.g Farung, Jek, Caak, then rip them off and if they complain about it tell everyone that the Farung is making problem for the Thai people again.

After spending the past week reading about what's been going on with what I could only describe as that rabble called British politics, I will never make fun of or say anything bad about Thai politics again.

Why's the walrus pointing at a lamp post?

I thought wires were the issue here . . .

Yeah that's because he is from Glasgow

Only in Thailand - NOT!.

A friend of mine went to pick up his daughter from school - in AUSTRALIA. Another daddy - a "cool" one, came to pick up his daughter as well. That cool daddy has souped-up his vehicle and and thought burning some rubber will surely impress his daughter/her friends/teachers/other parents or someone.... He ended up "parked" inside my friend's vehicle, causing it a total loss. Just lucky no one got injured there....

The cool daddy with the souped up car is called an Anglo Bogan, they spend most of their day stoned and pissed, talking about the burnouts they did and the footy, when the go on holidays they go to Bali, and spend most of their day stoned and pissed,

talking about the burnouts they did and the footy.

"3 point seven million times by Monday afternoon"

3 million out of 65 million, wow what a waste of time, I thought 99% of brits were childish whingers.

Oh well at least the pretenders look alike got his photo in the head lines.

He later broke out into song, singing " I'm on my wee from misery to happiness "

Would anyone like to hear the Benny Hill theme song, again?

Or the some mothers do have em, theme song?

Both have the same relevance

This is my favorite

What's the point if you're a powerful Capo tuti de capo and you live like a goat in a cave for

the rest of your life?......

I thought that they liked Goats ? Same as Greeks.

Spiro the sculpture was the best sculpture in all of Greece, he was known as Spiro the sculpture.

One day he got caught doing it with a goat, from that day forward he was known as Spiro the Goat Fker for the rest of his life.

the British only came to be, when the Anglos and the Saxons stated raping goats. Zip Boing!

Just look at that poor lady's face she is absolutely, devastated.

OK Meeter, we look for the bad man, sign here, this is standaard contract.

100 baht per hour and 30% of the bag contents

And No work when soccaar is on TWee

Looks like I need buy a few thousand pounds then

when you legalise narcotics drugs you will save Tax payers money on the courts,the prison system, hospital/rehab and other taxpayer funded processes related to that type of crime with its punishment and rehabilitation.

Treating Drug addicts as patients then putting them on rehab programs, takes the tax payer funded pressure off the courts and the prison system, leaving only tax payer funded addict rehab programs.

Thailand can't do this as the main players in the narcotics drugs industry ( as it is an industry ) are the police and military generals, province and local officials.

Saying that they are going to treat drugs differently and have a program for addicts is just hot air and telling United Nations General Assembly something that like to hear, looking to be doing something, when they really have no intention of doing so.

It won't achieve anything, more hot air from another Thai official wanting to be noticed and his photo in the media.

It wont stop them from driving when on drugs and alcohol,

It won't stop them from running away from the scene of an accident,

It wont stop them from overtaking on the left hand side at a rate of knots etc...

I have a friend in Australia who is a bus driver: he can't accept a glass of wine the night before he starts work, as the drivers all have a breathalyser test.

Wonder how that would work here??

They also need to have a full medical and psychiatric tests every two years
