I just hope it meets in the middle and we can get some relief... 33C as I speak and very humid.

And China don't do anything stupid.

Considering they're illegal it seems strange you can find them on almost every market and online..

Searches mean nothing.

Clean up your own back yard first... Most of Thailand looks like a toilet, and most of the dust comes from construction sites, crumbling old buildings and a serious lack of national cleanliness.

A very sad situation.

China has had a influence on Thailand for at least 6 centuries, it's nothing new.

Before the flight even leaves Bangkok, alternative landing sites are already programmed into the flight data.

Back seat driver...

The Rice Department is a small department in the Agriculture Ministry, allocated about a 2 billion baht budget each year. This year, however, the department was allotted with 15 billion baht, to fund a program to cut the production costs of rice farming. Management of the fund has, however, been transferred to the Bank of Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives Seems like a skimmer scamming a con artist..

And the clock is ticking.

It's evident in every country in the world.. it's just the size of the divide that differs.

Maybe the USA will offer some F-16 A's which are gathering dust somewhere. Special offer price

A couple of hundred baht and 5 minutes work... why bother the owner?

As you say that's near you...

Thailand would never admit to an economic crisis.

In control more like.

It's a sink-hole...

So high ranking officials caught with their fingers in the till are being targeted by this gang for a fee not to provide incriminating evidence into the public arena?? Corrupt to the core.

So Cindy's bag went through X'ray in Bangkok prior to departure without the packages being noticed?

Not me...

Go on their way where????

Trying to extort money from the director General of the rice department is a no-no.. I'm sure he's above all that and would never be involved in anything "iffy"

Thailand doesn't give a rats-ar$e where or how un-cut stones come from... they're only interested in the best prices.

Free speech from the youth usual ends in jail time.
