Is this toad a general or a minister or what? Get the titling of this gentleman, best known for his little naps everywhere, right. As head of the National Water Command he had N I N E years time to get his act together but he must have had bigger fish to fry (pun intended)!

Now that makes sense; get the very shaky house back home in order - or at least try it. He might not be around for the next ASEAN meeting anyhow .......

Lock down the country immediately and hunt for those dirty farang who brought in the disease. What's next, the chicken cough or the buffalo fart?

No issues with trannies yet there is a slight difference in body posture, only for those who attended biology classes back in the day though .......

Recalls Obama's visit to Thailand having tea with HM while the Chinese President went to see the sitting Thai prime minister for advising the next few instructions from Beijing - clevell, these Chinese plofessionals ????

A sad life came to an end; did he eventually manage to obtain British citizenship? He failed on various attempts, despite the loose change, reputation and his attempts to shoulder-rub with royalty. Maybe he knew, what really happened in that Parisian tunnel some 26 years back........

The Chinese have always been the better chess players while good old uncle Joe is still roaming, slightly lost though, the lawns of the White House ????

I had a restaurant for many years and in regular intervals I got email offers to "boost" Tripadvisor ratings. For USD 400 the offer claimed 400 four and five star ratings from all over the world. I reported that to Tripadvisor and their laconic answer was, that there is nothing they could do about it. Well, for one, if you use i.e. Agoda as a booking platform for an accommodation, the rating window opens only, if you paid for the service - here an overnight stay. Unlike Tripadvisor, where every Tom, Dick and Harry can vent his spleen. A simple system would have been to scan the receipt of the meal in question to be submitted together with the rating. Best is and remains word-of-mouth ....... me thinks!

Bottom line is simple "8.2 million baht is the going price for keeping the shrimp prices low" and the decision makers (to burn the 8.2 million) did not even see a single lower-priced shrimp either ????????????????????????

How many women among the five pictured? They certainly have "shoulder" qualities ????

If it ever happens, and that is a very big IF , then the Chinese will do it. Too big, too complex for the Thai government (irrespective of who habitats the government house); latter only interested in the massive kick-backs. Here the question comes of course, if and how Singapore would react as it would take the entire transit East-West out of the equation for them. And, in all fairness, having seen both the Thai and Singaporean way of operating ports, the Thais are generations behind ????

Correct, Thailand should focus on quality tourism - quality over quantity. The visa-free country should get 45 days instead of 30 - covers 90+ % of all travelers in that group. The group of those countries requiring visas will not change. Immigration to be massively lightened by all this unnecessary burden of bureaucracy, forms, blue-inked photocopies, photographs etc. etc. etc. Do away with TM6 (only applicable now for overland arrivals), hence of no statistical value any longer as the majority arrives by air. Do away with TM30 as more than half the Thais do NOT live at their registered address (see bureaucracy as well). Do away with the 90 days nonsense, it gives Thailand and East German STASI taste - to say the least! Ultimately, train all immigration officers in English to a conversational level - it is scary how poor their English can be!

Well, what does it cost the taxpayer to keep these two monsters alive for a month - considering their relative young life? Who guarantees that they will get to reason and never ever do such a thing again? There are three reasons for death penalty; rape, murder as a guardian (be it old people or young children) and drug dealers. You do not make these crimes "unhappen" but they will never ever be committed by the same people. Life sentence, no parole, limitations of 25 years etc. etc. etc. - Fact is, that there is hardly anyone serving the full "life" sentence and I wonder, how big the "repetition" case is. After X years in the slammer they had enough time to build up even more evil and hatred. We might have to agree to disagree on this!

Just imagine, they let him in jail for the next few years ....... out of sight. They could do what they wanted, plunder more troughs and the electorate would not really care. His party is toast anyhow .........

Naps 'r us then!

The Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Romans all the way through the Inquisition, Napoleon, Stalin, Hitler, Kim Il Sung, Pol Pot or Newin had one thing in common. They scared their underlings for power and, regretfully, were mostly successful. Covid 19 was no different; most governments misused this highly contagious flu to scare the "*ç% out of people and creamed off zillions of dollars in "fighting" against humanity's nemesis. This planet has been facing the ever-evolutionary flu, all originating from the virological family of corona. Knowing what we know now about "Covid 19" these days, it is up to each and every individual to query the serious threat to society based on "two new cases" of a flu virus. Latter is evolutionary and will do everything to survive by adopting continuously. Every North European or North American can confirm, that flu is, predominantly, a standard "winter nuisance"; some years you come down with the flu, other years your body manages to sail through without impact. Every year a few hundred thousand (mostly elderly or people with health pre-conditions) regretfully die on health deficits which are facilitates by the weakening of an evolving flu virus. "Pure" flu deaths exist as well but it is almost impossible to put a percentage on that small number. I took the public statistics of an European country and compared the total number of citizen living in the country and compared the total number of deaths in the same country - over 20 years. And, guess what, no spikes nowhere. Before you would die of cancer or heart weakness, the last few years you saw "Covid" in lieu of the afore-mentioned. It is like AIDS, nobody dies of AIDS but the body's weakening due to AIDS facilitates the death which a person might avoid, if NOT infected with AIDS. In closing, be careful and keep an eye on your health but keep the whole subject within reason and common sense. Two cases in a population of 70+ million ...........? The blackmailers now will refer to "it always starts with two cases" - your call!

Despite being critical about how business is handled here; such surcharges are not permitted and I never ever came across a vendor trying to add commissions and fees. There are "cash only" deals, clearly marked - that is OK. Anything else you can take up with your credit card partner; mind you though that American Express is a charge card and not a credit card and vendors flatly refuse AMEX cards for its outrageously high commission to be borne by the vendor.

I was late once (2022) and fined officially THB 2,000 - in Chonburi that was.

I think it is simply impossible after 10,000 kilometres only - although these air filters do not cost a fortune to replace.

Whatever the do-gooders and tree huggers opinion; the death sentence would have served society much better than feeding these two monsters for the rest of their lives. It must be the objective of society's gate keepers to ensure the safety. Rid the society from such terrible monsters - once and for good. You will not make anything unhappen but those two would never ever create trouble again and the taxpayer would be not unhappy too!

I would start with some clean up among all those unsolved murder cases ..... might be more effective than glass and aluminium together. Latter is definitely the poorer choice as far as environment issues are concerned and many beer drinkers might agree to the fact, that a beer from a can tastes not as good as from a bottle .........

The entire new placement of government is a poor soap opera and as it does not essentially correspond to the electorate's votes it is possibly not the best of soap operas. Thailand did better in the past and that includes the endless production and broadcasting of ..... soap operas!

Maybe someone resorts to a final solution; this guy has been in the (bad) news for a very, very, very long time -

Well, everybody must eat ..........
