Ra Ra Anutin Thailands greatest vacs machine ????

I'd stop there Sammie, before you get yourself into shedloads of trouble!

It simply cannot be.

No Thai of such stature would do such a thing!

Sounds like we have an International smorgasbord here of Variants, guess it might be time for the Kentucky Derby to have its own Variant.......

Ah! A smorgasbord eh? ( No I am not Canadian!)

I might have known that Scandinavia was behind it - bloody Vikings, always were trouble!

Yes OK, whatever...

Actually, there may be a problem with this railway, which is that while Thailand and possibly places further south may benefit, as will China, Laos is unlikely to benefit at all despite footing much of the bill (depending on what you read, somewhere between 4 and 7 billion USD). Laos could demand payment for trains travelling over their tracks (a bit like payments for overflights). Something that China and Thailand have not factored into the equation.

"Panzers vorvarts" or whatever the Chinese equivalent is!

Meetings will be taking place in June on how the line might cross the border into Laos connecting Nong Khai and Vientiane, the capital of Thailand's neighbor.

You know, given that crossing the Mekong River at Nong Khai is pretty fundamental to the whole project, one imagines that they would have given some thought to the matter from the start!

I reckon that they will have to build some sort of bridge ????????

They paid the appropriate people to make sure they got on the list of approved quarantine facilities.

Every baht should be accounted for. it's shocking the amount of money given to an education system that consistently under performs and is so badly equiped. I hate to think what percentage of 332.4 bn goes missing.

Estimates vary, but there seems to be a concensus that somewhere around the 30% mark is at the very least inadequately accounted for.

Of course it must be remembered that the education budget also funds a massively bloated uniformed beaurocracy, that will almost certainly be stuffed full of creative and informal fiscal practices. It is certainly not just the schools or teachers.

Most people seem to be misunderstanding this nugget. and Thaiger definitely wet themselves on it.

 

CRA can source Sinopharm.

 

That's it.

 

Unbunch and dry those panties.

 

 

Before we get too excited - this "transfer of responsibility" could also have the effect of shutting down any discussion or meaningful news on the vaccination programme.

Looking closely at the photographs on the OP, I just love the "Shaun the Sheep" tee shirt!

Has the fellow no idea of dressing respectfully when interacting with Thai officials?????

There's enough Mr Bean characters running the show in Thailand anyway .. 

I was going to suggest a suitable cameo role, playing the premier amongst VIP visitors who swung by during the rescue...

A prime candidate for the role!

TAT persons.

Government spokespersons.

Imagine having to lie constantly, and live with the fact that everyone knows that you lie constantly...

Finance Min explains 500 B Baht loan:

We haven't any money, and we need the cash...

Phew, that bought us about a week. Now lads, what are we going to say when some of them do turn up on the 7th and there aren't enough vaccines?

Yes of course they did.  It was a plan to make a plan on how to start planning a plan.

They had several committees working on it in fact.

The second largest and second most expensive parliament building in the world, after Ceaucescus "Palace of the People" can be seen in the pic above. 

Hopefully the majority of these drongoes will eventually meet a similar fate to the deluded father of Romania for their hubris and crimes.

Oh, wouldn't it be funny to see the look on Ceucescues face ( when the crowd started to boo)  multiplied some 500 times!

My point is that we are not children. Neither are many of us Buddhists. Banning things in the name of one particular religion is not really an intelligent way to run a country in the 21st century.

 

 

I'm sorry, I am simply unable to reconcile "an intelligent way to run a country in the 21st century" with the current regime...
