Why don't the young Thai netizens start posting other Police officers, Military officers, Gov MPs that seem to live outside their means.  Put them all under scrutiny and lets see if any good moral Thai's can do something about this.

The current laws forbid it so it would be 'suicide by cop' to even attempt it.

Suwat tried to limit the damage apologizing for the incident - one that he simply couldn't hide or deny due to the graphic nature of the video - saying that there were plenty of good cops as well as some bad apples. 

Silly comment.......we all know what happens when you put 'some bad apples' in a barrel of good ones!  I also think it should read 'plenty of bad cops as well as some good apples'.  Someone send him a copy of Serpico please!

A herb with woowoo powers to treat asymptomatic Covid patients, promoted by the government, despite experts warning against it as it only lead to people having false hope, risking further infections, as the herb has no proven effect in Covid treatment, nor does it have any other proven health benefits. Could just as well swap it out for some Timothy grass and the gullible would claim effects like no tomorrow.

Also cures erectile dysfunction, athletes foot, and balding, as well as promoting increases in breast size overnight while whitening the skin.

I purposely leave some documents unsigned or left out completely (but in my bag).  It gives the IO a sense of superiority  and keeps him/her from having to come up with some harder to provide requirement like 6 copies of my dog's birth certificate or photos of all my in-laws printed on green paper etc. 

In this way the officer has shown he knows more than a farang, he feels complete, and the application will then proceed smoothly.

Better to lie than lose face (Thai Culture 101): The boys in khaki have made such a mess of this pandemic that they have no choice but to fiddle the books to maintain some semblance of face.

Follow the money:  Everything bar kidnapping tourists and forcing them to come to Thailand has been tried in order to bring in the cash (see TAT ludicrous projections and plots) and failed.

These two themes alone are enough for me to believe the good doctor' claims.

Gave up on Jett after three episodes (what was that all about?) 

 

Will start River today as my evenings viewing, hope it's more interesting than Jett 

 

 

Totally agree Daffy, I couldnt even finish the 1st episode and that is extremely rare for me. 

River is a really good show and had me totally absorbed.

Not sure where you are but in BKK i see almost everyone with a mask the only ones that did not have a mask were some construction workers.

I live in Isaan, I couldnt say what is happening in Bangkok.

Judging from my experience yesterday I would imagine the Thais were not wearing masks.  My 1st stop was the local service station:  owner, wife, and two attendants, none had masks.  2nd stop local photo shop:  two in attendance, old lady had mask, young guy none.  3rd stop:  a govt office:  approx 6 in attendance all wearing masks however two of them, who I noticed were quite attractive ladies and wondered whether that was relative, wore their masks on their sleeves even when wandering back and forth to adjoining offices.  And friends call me paranoid coz I dont like to leave home?

He looks like he is looking at someone off camera with an expression on his face asking :  "Are you real certain you want me to read this out?"

Myth & Mogul: John DeLorean

In the automotive world, John DeLorean rose from engineer to executive to icon. But under the hood of his self-created legend lies darkness and deceit.

While watching this series my mind kept jumping back to a series I watched a couple of days before and I could not get over how much these two characters had in common:

Dr. Death: The Undoctored Story

Follows the whole and real story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch told by the people who survived it.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15066502/

Both of these guys could get caught red-handed standing in front of a burning house with a can of petrol in one hand and a Zippo in the other and would not only claim total innocence but would declare that the fire would be of such great benefit to the residents, the city and the whole universe. 

I also think its a good reminder that its not just in Thailand where, if a lot of money is involved, you can get away with murder.

they wouldn't let me take my bag on .....

Looks like they are measuring it to be sure lol!

However one thing you need to be certain of is the weight.  I have witnessed bags being checked while boarding from transit lounge where it is too late to remove any items and give to friends etc seeing you off.

Remove the bullet and see if it came from a police issue weapon

I would say it has CIA written all over it.

Why not make it just 1 day, that would be just as idiotic as 7 and coming from TAT no-one would be surprised.

Thailand firmly back in the top five of tourism countries in the world. 

Why stop there?  Go for number 1 and just retract it later without shame like you usually do.

I'd rather know why none of them dont work.
