Badly dressed boy on the left or what .. Can't imagine LFC & sponsor's would be too flattered either about their name spread across the front of a fakeing faker .. 

Sounds more like a sexual offence.

Or was he a dodgy fakhir? (It does come from the Arabic 'faqir' - a poor man. Quite apt.)

While some university leavers are able land decent jobs in a country where paper qualifications have always been highly valued, many find themselves forced to settle for something far less prestigious and well-paid than they hoped.

 

Every year, an increasing number of graduates ends up earning a relative pittance in coffee bars, retail outlets and other dead-end jobs where their hard-won skills are under-utilised. In a shrinking and increasingly specialist jobs market, such second-choice employment does not always end up being temporary.

I wouldn't deny that.

One of the dancers in the GoGo Bar I owned had a Thai degree in mathematics, but soon realised she would have a better life with a ferang husband.

The Government Lottery Office invented the QR code system to prevent con artist from cutting and pasting numbers to forge winning tickets. But the gang has beat the system by successfully printing a fake QR code to paste on the forged tickets.

I see the Lottery Office is on top of the system by using a QR code to prevent this happening.

they found that the school used temporary power wires at several spots

Often these are 'permanent'.

How true.

Sadly in this case, I bet the 'temporary' cable became 'permanent', then after the electrocution it instantly became reclassifed as 'temporary' again, to try and avoid any blame.

Would anyone have a link to this news article in the Thai press?

A leading Bangkok traffic policeman has revealed that 30 major intersections would be fitted with cameras to fine people going through red lights. 

Isn't that a misprit?

I always thought it seemed to be: it was fine with people going through red lights.

Nothing proven, says minister, as HIV patient claims cannabis ‘cured’ her

What a misleading headline. More click-bait?

A senior Thai Red Cross official also said yesterday that, so far, there has been no information that cannabis can cure HIV. 

Dr Praphan Phanuphak, director of the Thai Red Cross’ Aids Research Centre, said he suspects cannabis oil made the patient in Phetchabun feel better.

The Deputy Government Spokesman, Lt. Gen. Werachon Sukondhapatipak

I didn't realise we had a deputy government?

How come all the cuties sit at the front? Surely it must detract from he who must be voted for obeyed?

Perhaps he can pen a new ditty along the lines of the lowest hanging fruit is not always the juiciest?

With the state of retail at the moment , I would say this is supremely mistimed.

No problem. The retailers can just increase their prices even more, to cover what I'd guess is their exorbitant rents and lack of sales.

Have they told the Chinese websites?

If this worked, then Lazada would surely sell a lot less products, given the amount of cheap Chinese goods they sell already, that appear to be very close to the original.

"and the plant can be boiled and drank as tea to help relieve hypertension."

I would have thought that was pretty obvious. I assumed it made everyone really relaxed.

Farmers can contact the local agricultural extension offices to learn more about available services. 

Ha ha! I hope the agricultural extension is nothing like an immigration extension. Can you imagine locals having to cope with that?
