    Agree with Berec, immediately above. But the example he gives applies only to retirees. We are not tourists. I would guess 99% of tourists do not ever visit Immigration offices. They are here for two weeks then go home. If they polled us, a number would express concern at eighty year old men standing in a queue in 30+ temperatures for an hour.

    How? Do candidates outline their policies? Do parties have an agenda that they present to the public? 'We are anti-corruption'. From what I hear, the voters sell their vote to the highest bidder.

    How easy it used to be when Barry Kenyon and Tropical Bert used to hold court on Soi 5! And you got 800,000 to spend on local businesses.

    Lots of looking over her shoulder and wearing a mask?

    Fair enough; case dismissed.

    It saves spending money on safely disposing of the waste oil?

    Thai politicians become politicians in order to partake of the abundant corruption; they're hardly likely to root out their raison d'être.

    Is there a score for military leadership? Any for the number of medals worn without buckled knees? How does gardening and housekeeping improve a soldier's military competence?

    He has a fine sense of irony. He obviously said this with a straight face; tongue in cheek under a rapidly growing nose.

    Has he got a part-time job with TAT?

    When Prawit first came to power, his annual stipend was under a million baht YET he banked FIVE million for each of the next five years before enacting a law that did not require him to declare his 'unusually rich' status.

    Loved this comment earlier - '100 Immigration Officers to Be Charged' - is this figure from the same office?

    How can a 14 year old own a motorbike?

    What was it about the officials' behaviour that led the victim to conclude they were fake?

    I am looking to hire a car for four days in Khon Kaen. I've checked a number of sites belonging to the big names like Hertz. I've not found one with fully comprehensive insurance; is this a thing in Thailand? Anyone recommend a good company either at the airport or beyond?
