Can't make this sh!t up. When you think you've seen it all, they always have a way to surprise you.

One of a myriad of things that tells the world whose side they're on. Cobra Gold? US navy port calls? Mere facades and smoke screens that does nothing more than to keep $$ flowing in.

one in the head and one in the chest, to make sure he does not try it next time

If you're going to shoot someone, that would be the proper way. Crippling can come back to haunt the shooter in different ways. For one, in the US, the bad guy can sue and potentially win.

The quick exit system has been implemented in Australia for several years already where you slide your passport into a machine while your picture is take and away you go, Aussies and non Aussies alike...

Meh. My country has it even easier. No exit formalities whatsoever.

Singapore's in bound auto passport lanes are only for Singapore citizens or resident visa holders.

Wrong! Don't state things you have no idea about.

Singapore and many other first world countries have inbound auto gate systems. I guess they are not as concerned about their national security as Thailand.

Expensive but easy. One of those countries that gives a passport for a wad of cash. 

May be it just goes to show you how profitable a scam call center operation in Calcutta can be.

Don't seem to be any different than the current ones. At least visibility-wise.

They are too occupied putting out scandals-du-jour and addressing b.s. issues like these to deal with the real problems.

New government. Business as usual. 

How often do safety protocol questions need to be prompted for the same problem before something is actually done about it?

But then Thai football has been jystifying one humiliation after another in extra-Asean international plays as "to gain experience for the future" in the last 40 years while actually going backwards. Tiny Estonia awaits eagerly tonight, btw.

They are civilian peace officers and not military. The purpose of uniform regulations is to enforce good order and discipline but they've proven over the decades that that's not working.

"put the breaks on" or brakes?

The writing quality of these articles is atrocious.

How many police chiefs are involved in the arrest and what kind of handcuffs do they use to make witnesses to question if they were, in fact, handcuffs? Hmm..

the LTR program will attract wealthy, ‘high-potential’ and talented individuals

You have to meet all three? I don't see too many Elon Musks knocking on the door.

I think it's safe to assume 'wealthy = high-potential or talented' in Thailand.

I'm not in the market for a Thai girlfriend, but I couldn't help but notice that Café Amazon girls are, more often than not, polite and beautiful. Some are also quite flirty.

Have you looked at Swensens? ????

I don't know if the CCP is bothered that the culprits' nationalities are still being named. 

How about  psychological tests for propensity to air-rage, while at it?

Just to agitate Cambodia.
