This number comprised 335 people who had entered Thailand illegally

Strikes me the Thai customs & immigration network must be as good as non-existent for these huge numbers to enter illegally. Still, that's a pretty slick way of coming up with these new pick-up stats. And so enlightening that the TWO Cameroon illegal immigrants were given special mention.

Sorry to spot this thread so late. If you can get Ibuprofen in Thailand, that's rated slightly higher than Tramadol.

Is it a lower back tweek of the cervix that hurts like phuque yet can be triggered by something as innocent as  . . . well, as innocent as that, too. Let me know if you're still suffering, cos I may well have the remedy.

It only matters that the Supreme Leader is pleased…nothing else is unimportant.

 

 

Thanks, Hayduke . . . a Freudian slip of the highest order and, anyway, if the PM didn't gorge on these little shreds of comfort, he'd only be making an ass of himself in another department that's trying to stay out of the limelight, e.g. death penalty for DUI killers that got kicked out of court and Chiang Mai's fires that are still burning one week after he'd told them to go out. Who knows . . . this might be one of the very last bits of pleasure that PM 'lemon curd' receives . . . as a politician, that is.

PM pleased, Bangkok named most popular city for Japanese tourists

No doubt these were PM 'lemon curd's very own word's. In the wake of tsunamis and radio-active fall-out, even Bangkok may just be deemed liveable.

and the couple’s whereabouts are not known.

Ossy Herald Report just in: Rumours gain momentum, now, that the couple have been housed in a huge inflatable dinghy provided by the RT Navy, of course, moored on the Choa Phraya, across from Government House and flying some new sort of flag, resembling a single finger, held erect. Pictures to follow, they say.

I do not find any evidence that this seastead threatens national security, I will not ask the Public Prosecutor to move ahead with that charge,” Col Siriwat said.

 

Thank-you, students, for your attention to this, our three-hundred-and-thirty-fifth lesson in how to be an international clown. I hope you took special attention to the splendid mike and name-board usage that Govr Supoj employed, whilst urging 'sensitivity' in this process of grabbing a floating homestead from the sea.

And what further mess Lt Col Siriwat Inyim, Deputy Chief of the Wichit Police, can add to this lesson in International Tomfoolery, we must await the combined findings of Security (aka Gen Prawit & Co) and the State prosecutor . . . let's say around Christmas-time, unless our seasteading couple have upped anchors and pissed off to somewhere offshore to a less scary kingdom.

after truck damages jumbo jet wing

Talk about flying on a wing and a prayer . . . a pretty big prayer from now on, I guess.

Truth is, this is all to distract from the Q1 figures that I've just heard about . . . and they do need manifold praying.

"The whole picture" it is not.

For me it's just too small too read easily, even after zooming in.

Quite so, B - nothing other than cheap-skate, short-cut taking (like Thai drivers negotiating junctions) reporting. There should be a law aggin it.

I'm left to wonder if Boonrod will ever give up his secret and divulge how long he was in the water and how he got there.

Surely there must be someone who shouted 'dog-on!' as the careless pooch forgot he was on his master's yacht as he did his triple-sulko from its diving board.

Yes... the people who use the 2.3 Billion accounts are wrong and you are of course right !... 

 

Or... as with any other tool, when used sensibly with moderation Facebook is a handy platform for keeping in touch with friends, family, organizing events (i.e. Weekly football matches) and selling excess stuff... all very sad, right?

Fair argument, r_s237, that applies to the majority of FB users, I'm sure. Good that you include the key word 'when' though, since sadly there is, as is clear on a daily basis, a growing minority of senseless folk who, if asked about moderation could do no better than point out that it was Florence & The Machine's latest hit.

Little strong feeling on the service, personally, apart from regretting its invention and the time-affluent public who've pleased Zuckerberg no end by making it the world's biggest ever time-waster. Like I say, little strong feeling.

After their 2-week visit, my kids didn't nickname Thailand 'the Kingdom of Dog' for no good reason. The privileges that appear to apply to dogs, e.g. no limits to late-night noise, aggressive behaviour and shitting whenever and wherever the mood takes them, gave them a gloomy picture regarding the respect that human beings should be accorded, but which all too often isn't.

Is Thailand not known to be the site of touching thoughts, unleashed imagination, unrestrained reverie? Only here could Prayut think of becoming a Premier.

Yes, Lupatria; so sad but probably so true, but mai paen rai . . . as they say in East Lancs.

Weather Underground shows that the chance of it raining is about the same as the chance of it snowing here in Northern Thailand over the next 10 days. 

Yes, but that's only underground, connda. What about us poor dudes that live above ground?

Why is it that this man, so patently inept at anything to do with good governance, is so capable of successful at making me need to run for the sick-bucket?

Funny pic, looks as if he was on the potty. Maybe Thanathorn gives him the runs?

Think he is constipating by the look of his hardened face. Chocked full of regrets and remorse. 

Makes a change from being chocked full of bullshit. Maybe he's constipating concentrating on what crap he's going to say next.

"Cos we've barely enough bahts to rub together . . . that's why, my little sunshine."

"Look, Sunshine, we all know that the world is full of liars. Now, you better go and play with my i-phone . . . before I say something real bad."
