Big Joke still laughing: Royal Thai Police delay investigation
He'll be retiring somewhere overseas with a nice little nest egg and a bunch of money to stay stum. Charges are brought and go through the mock justice system and that will be that. It's very interesting this one. I just hope the military and pollies have lot's of stuff on them bubble to the surface. Top cops are corrupt but the military top echelon are a grade above.

Rather generous of you. Put a decimal point between the 1 and the 5 and that would be more like it IMO.

“Kaeng tai pla” rated the worst dish in the world by TasteAtlas
The world's worst dish! Well this is just nonsense. Is this the level of articles that AsianNow are going to keep subjecting us too? I'm only speaking for myself but who else is interested in this rubbish? Bit like it's going to be hot tomorrow.

NACC probes “tea money” demands to get children into Khon Kaen schools
Just another very, very, very, small tip of a very, very, very big corrupt iceberg. School directors are as bent as the rest who are in a position to be corrupt. Rotten from top to bottom and everyone knows this. Changing it is the big challenge. The next coup (on the near horizon IMO) might once and for all sort it out. The military won't succeed in another coup. The people have had enough.

Thailand plans to extend minimum wage increases to more regions
Absurd. You do it for everyone or you don't do it at all. Not just to the selected but to everyone. One could think only those sectors with large kickbacks will be considered.

Thai health pushes for alcohol-free Songkran celebrations
Thai health pushes for alcohol-free Songkran celebration Delusional Thai health pushes for alcohol-free Songkran celebrations Sad thing is the minority elite conservative wowsers have a lot of influence aka money and power. Alcohol free Sonkran is of course just insanity raising it's head. As for the Thaiger GPT article it's a waste of electricity. I would like to see the questionnaire that came up with the results shown. Complete nonsense. This is just complete rubbish not even closely related to reality. More junk from The Thaiger GPT.

A barrage of accusations against the government as general debate begins
Sadly this country is bent from the very top. It is wat it is. This is why Thailand will always linger on the 3rd World boundary. The military and the elite hold the country in their corrupt hands and will keep their money and power by all means at their disposal. There is only one way to change this but will it happen.

Thailand to Face Unprecedented Temperatures
I remember once in Adelaide it was 48°C in the shade. I put a thermometer in the sun. It wasn't good for it. Maybe 60°C ish in the sun.

Court Accepts Petition, Seeking MFP Dissolution
Court Accepts Petition, Seeking MFP Dissolution Prayut's Junta's Court Accepts Petition, Seeking MFP Dissolution No suprise here as with the already concluded outcome. The military/elite will not give up their wealth, corruption and power. If you do not support the military/elite you are not allowed to take govt. Srettha and Thaksin are well in the firing line. IMHO I think another coup is in the making.

Yingluck Being Named UN Special Envoy For Myanmar Could Be April Fools’ Day Prank
I'm confused. Unconfirmed hearsay as opposed to confirmed hearsay? Who writes this rubbish? Do editors still exist in this wonderful new world of ours.

Thailand to Face Unprecedented Temperatures
Ah! Come on it's the tropics no such thing as summer and it's 3 seasons. HOT/HOTTER/HOTTEST. Add some intense humidity, some storms and occassional cool/cold days for good measure. TIT.

Health Ministry warns against eating geckos for sexual benefits
Lizards are eaten all over Thailand. Cooked. Not Geckos though. Complete waste of time warning from the empty heads. Idiots want to eat geckos thinking they'll get a hardon, let them chomp away. The Lao Khao will kill them before the geckos will. True finger food. BBQ not bad at all. Goong Kayote. I've had better I think than this looks like but it's tasty and quite something else. There are also health concerns regarding parasites. Don't worry about lead in the pencil with this one just enjoy and if you're with a Thai big brownie points..

Thai government considers recriminalising cannabis
However, he estimated that the personal gains could increase to tens of billions of baht [in a few people's pockets] if the law on cannabis control is passed.

UK and Thailand to boost scientific research and English proficiency
Well I have to say this is probably one of the great out of touch comments for a long time. May I suggest drunk Glaswegians (English native speakers) be hired to encourage the learning process and the understanding of spoken English. This is just a corperate deal. Happens every now and again and nothing changes. International schools maybe but these are for a very small minority of the school population in Thailand. The privileged few.

Normal temp for April? My guess is yes and my guess is Issan. These nonsense weekly/bi-weekly excuses for writing articles about the hot season being hot HAVE TO STOP.

UK police catch British pedophile at London airport
Interesting comment. Child brides. Definitely Western. Child prostitution. Yep. Not Asian or Arabic but Western. Can you please base your comment on something. Anything but not the Catholic Church of course. Already normalised there centuries ago.

Thailand to Face Unprecedented Temperatures
Thailand to Face Unprecedented Temperatures Another rubbish headline. Seems someone or something doesn't know the meaning of unprecedented. 43°C-45°C is without doubt hot and April is shaping up to be a hot one BUT these are not unprecedented temperatures in the hot/dry season. 46°C+ for a few days and then it becomes a story.

Foreigner Questions Thai Dowry: Netizens Respond
So her family knocked down the price 330k to 230k. They were negotiating with him to drop the price? I DON'T THINK SO. Sloppy if any editing. "Married in 2023 to his 47-year-old wife from Isaan, after four years of online courtship, he agreed to pay 300,000 THB but was later negotiated it down to 150,000 baht and 80,000 baht worth of gold, reported Daily News."

More thought bubble idiocy and populist nonsense. "Let's do this." "Good idea. How will we pay for it" "Dunno." "Excellent idea." "Thank you. More whisky anyone?" Loud applause! Morons

Big Joke woes: Warrant issued for money laundering
Big Joke woes: Warrant issued for money laundering "The outcome of this legal request remains to be seen, .... ." This means the issuance of a warrent has not yet been granted by the court. Once again a complete rubbish headline from pseudo journalists.
