Thailands Hom Mali rice has fallen a lot in quality over recent years. It now knows it cannot compete so does not intend to enter and have to submit the truth.

Open all hours, and that's not just the bars...

Maybe the farmers should be a bit more pro-active. All the money goes to millers and traders.

This is the new cultural heritage.

Jeez, a water-filled pee-up now given Unesco status?

Indoctrination for the masses to keep the elites companies productive.

And continues up to the age of graduation from university.

Boom times ahead then...

The old saying, "when one door closes another one opens"... may prove to be the opposite for this training officer.

What, no police or Generals... ?

Thailand has to keep the lower income workers to maintain international companies producing goods in Thailand. Only the upper level of civil servants, bosses, and elites can afford large families. Trouble is the lower end make up the majority of the population... What a conundrum for the government to sort-out. Increase wages to increase childbirth... loose manufacturing. I suppose they could specify girls only, then in 18 years time they will all be working in resorts helping out TAT with tourist numbers thus increasing the GDP.

200,000 baht per child per year from age 0-18... or forget it.

The whole political arena is a circus.

Quietly at home well out of sight.

No worries, the paid-for doctors will qualify that he so poorly he cannot be moved until his pardon date. Thailand stinks.

Bangla area?

Fun times ahead by the look of it... for those in or wanting to go to the UK

Been out of the UK for 15 years... is 38,700 GBP an average single income or is it on the high side?

So are they saying that the spouse resident in UK has to have a single gross income of 38,700 GBP to be able to bring their married partner to the UK? And that this has to be proved to gain an entry visa to the UK.. Those in the UK with a permission to reside will not be retrospectively affected?

Sure does.

Gotta make room for all the free-loading illegals claiming asylum.

Come ye come all ... bail us out.

All okay if it's done fairly and transparently....

Ever wondered what happens to all the drugs that the army and RTP get their hands on. Ever seen it transparently disposed of and verified by independent witnesses?

High temperatures and high humidity over the weekend, had a slight shower Monday night which was only slight. Today Wednesday it's stinking hot again, at 15:00 it's 34C
