There's a lovely photo of him looking furtive with the self-raising flour minister in this morning's BP.

'In principle' means by saying it we don't need to actually do anything. Like 'there is no prostitution in Thailand; no corruption in Government/industry'.

Sorted.

Does that mean they will stop protecting the viewer by pixillating guns and cigarettes despite both being sported by the BIB on every corner?

I've got déjà vu. Every other politician has said this for the last 18 years of my life here yet nothing has changed.

Meanwhile on the roads ... NONE were spotted saving lives or alleviating traffic congestion.

Six photo-cops proving Pattaya Police do work (as male models), contrary to the rumours that they do nothing.

as opposed to the usual humorous ones?

Another triumph for Pattaya's invisible police; they are labelled as predatory yet ignore the brainless, selfish drivers who will block lanes at every junction with their Me-First mentality. Two cops at ANY Railway Road junction would yield thousands of baht per hour in both legal & illegal 'fines'.

China - the hub of exporting disease. Or the lung ailments could just be a by-product of dirty air to which the Chinese contribute generously.

His background is in construction so he is building his PM ambitions.

I was referring to the use of the phrase 'over-educated' when applied to Thai youth!

Until you are on the wrong end of their poor service. Take my bank ... please!

Not a sign of any of the 100 officers as Pattaya traffic ground to a halt caused by logjams of selfish, dumb drivers here for the annual firework display.

In Thailand?

On account of the cash inducements; the 1st tranche of which have already been paid and spent.

I've said this about Thai workers in whatever job they are 'employed' in. There is a genetic predisposition towards work avoidance sometimes requiring greater amounts of energy than actually working.

'the Assistant Chief of Police, the Police Commissioner, the head of the Immigration Bureau, and the Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand,' - Four of the Best Purveyors.

'Thailand, who has no dog in this fight,and were there to earn a living, should sue the Hamas and all other terrorist groups in the international court of law for compensations for lost of life, pain and suffering, Hamas has billions and so the other groups, let see them justify the atrocities they have inflicted on the innocent Thai workers.' Thai lawyers are far too overworked to consider any new cases. They are still working on appeals dating back ten years.

Slow Horses S3 E1 out Dec. 1st.

A good trick for an admiral. He's only here looking for draft-dodgers.

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin will be taking credit for this, unaware that Thais are considered worthless as bargaining chips in a stand-off. I note that of the others released, at least FIVE were over 75 & at least one over 80. Hamas is now reaping the whirlwind.

How easy is it to take my car? I accept it will be a righthand drive amongst most lefthanders.

Boat Story - one episode in & I'm hooked.

So he'll never do any time and some selected local cops will get new cars.
