  1. Rather generous of you. Put a decimal point between the 1 and the 5 and that would be more like it IMO.
  2. PM, Govt Warned To Not Repeat Mock Jail Sentence For Yingluck How about mock elections?
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Chapter 5: How to get all that lost money back into bent people's pockets.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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..
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Reduce import and excise tax and introduce a VAT. Mmmm? Seems like kindergarten was back in for this one. Shhhhhhhh! No one will notice.
  17. Not scaremongering. Pushing an agenda. Plenty of practice at this over the last 3 or so years.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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."
  22. Money than enough for decent educution facilities, more teachers, better equipment and more nurses for hospitals, employment programs etc, etc. I mean there must be billions of corrupt money.
  23. 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
  24. 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.
  25. I think this point needs some expansion i.e. why it failed to form govt by using the conjunction because. Everyone knows what needs to be written after the conjunction. "The reformist party won last year’s national election but failed to form a government because.......... ."
