" Thailand Tobacco Monopoly’s production will likely fall to 17 billion units this year from 28 billion units produced last year "

Clearly Excise Tax Act B.E. 2560 was a smart move by the government !

"The cops were probably "off duty" when they escorted the convoy of tuk-tuks around town, "

Doesn't appear that way.

"Police in Chiang Mai said they take drinking on duty very seriously and will deal with two policemen photographed boozing on duty."

"Defence Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwon: “I used to be punished, but I survive.” "

Yeh, mores the pity!

Better do his gf "Tob" next I think.

Visited Bangkok Hospital last week for a consultation about a urological issue.  Car parking good, reception excellent, consultation costs OK, indicated operation cost OK and at a time of my own choosing (within reason and availability of the surgeon). Place is like a 5 star hotel, most staff have good English. Estimated costs for operation given in writing, but only valid for 60 days.

Changing troughs !

" erecting speed limit signs "

Yeh good idea, that will do the job no doubt !

Spending money they haven't got on things they don't need!

Shift down a gear, mmmmm, I loose face if I do that !

"Yearly tuition fees for the 2017-2018 school year range from 534,300 to 950,700 baht"

Not for your average Somchai then !

I guess it would be too easy to have an on-line questionnaire, then capture and analyze the responses?

Thais do love their bits of paper.

Thailand 0.4.

Hope he took his worm for a gallop for the 1 million baht.

Looks like some Turks have been on a training course in Thailand !

" numbers that have been selected and certified as auspicious by a guru on number-based fortune telling. "

Sums up the Thai mentality so nicely.

It seems that not only Thailand has a problem with keeping track of its undesirables !

If they bury the wires will they be able to find them again ?

In order to get a "Tax Deduction" you first have to pay tax I guess, which bars the majority of rural Thais from benefiting ?

So how do you distinguish a legal checkpoint from an illegal one ?

Indeed. And only sending Mattis is not exactly the height of respect! Next we'll learn the UK isn't sending the Queen, or Charles or William, but someone like Andrew! Oh.

Yes, "Airmiles Andy"

Along with at least another 31 dignitaries from foreign countries.

Why is only the USA so newsworthy.

The French person is referred to as she and he in the OP.  Is she a she or a he?

Yes.

Presumably the Mother could have taken her daughter back to Thailand with her, then the kid and Mother could be happy together and the father could work, after all what is so special about a "British education".

The rules are there to stop free loaders.

That's it, you put your finger in the top, well done, now you try "Piglet".
