seem to remember that Siam did not "rush to condemn" Imperial Japan when it walked through south east asia............

Cyprus hands out EU passports quite happily for rich people. Also Malta.

and long lines in the 7-11 while the price haggling is taking place....

In true Thai tradition... a senior official is inspired to tell the RTP that they should actually do their job for a while......to show how much they care.

but maybe soon.....?

but lets blame the foreigner anyway........

Unfortunately the Philippines will get the government it deserves.......

"How can we forget about our national treasury being ransacked? Even the Central Bank did not have an inkling that it was raided, our reserves were gone, there was no money to be found. Where did it go? How can we forget that?" Lacson said in a statement on Wednesday. has nobody thought of asking Imelda? Would that be too easy?

"economic data suggests strongly that foreign tourism income has a far higher impact on the country’s economy than originally thought due to its impact on confidence and the level of indirect economic activity generated." WOW - they are looking at economic data?? Who could have predicted this? Surely they need a new committee of 30+ professors from Chula to study this new economic data in great detail - maybe a year or so.....

I thought the plan was to send thousands of unskilled workers to Saudi Arabia now? Easy.... solved.....

yippeee.... tiger penis, rhino horn and pangolin scales will improve our reputation and increase (QUALITY) tourism from China......

"Whenever the situation demands it" -- election defeat followed by coup???

and may fit muslim standards of behaviour.....

"chairs the sub-committee on the organisation of electrical cables" lucky that they already have such a subcommittee - that will save 3 years. I note the words "electrical cables" and I suspect there may be a get-out clause in this....... if they only bury electrical cables and leave all the data cables for somebody else.....

Finger on the pulse of the cutting edge of science.......

The Filipino will get the President he deserves..... and will deserve the President he gets....

Wow... Imelda must be rubbing her hands together already in anticipation of the "tributes" she can expect.....

Let us hope they do not make budget savings on maintenance and safety......

"The deadline for the government increasingly appears to be July" oh dear , TAT will need to find a new slogan for the new coup during western peak tourist season.....tsk tsk tsk.....

The Saffron Mafia has the respect of the buffalo population, still......

who was leading the pointing ceremony?

Does a German professional footballer not count as filthy rich in TAT eyes?

and the Chinese cultural influence promotes pale / white skin in asian countries.

That will improve his credit rating....

Actually it is very simple - the rich and well-connected go to Chula, the easily misguided idealists go to Thammasat, the late developers go to Ramkhamhaeng, and the buffalo go to Rajhabat. There - solved with a gross oversimplification.. TIT
