The moral of the story is you just can't trust LB regardless of what field they 'work' in.

Was it really 42 million in cash or was a large amount siphoned off (highly likely) before they declared the total of 42 million?  You can't trust the BIB when money is found.

There goes the neighbourhood .......... again.  More zero baht tours and as keithkarmann says maybe new variants of covid.

^^^ Thanks.  I thought they may be some sort of money laundry schemes.

63,589 projects that will require a total of 337.7 billion baht in funding to implement by 2024.

So 337.7 billion baht in the trough.

When will this farce end?

I am always amused at these stories.  The article says cash was discovered but not how much.  Would some go missing when the BIB grabbed it?  You can bet on that.

About time this sort of thing invalidated insurance for all drivers and the companies employing them - except for victim claims. Meaning the victims get a payout but the driver and company pays for their own repairs and a 100% increase in next years insurance

If they carry insurance.

Along with not being able to purchase alcohol between 1400 and 1700.  There is also the ludicrous defamation laws.  Thailands laws are way behind the current norm in western countries.

Idiot.  Does he not know you can easily buy the stuff here.

Forty billion baht is a lot of money.  To drag it out to the never never appeal everything even on the flimsiest grounds.  Obviously the BMA don't have the money.

Which is? I am intrigued!

So am I.  How can these companies sustain hundreds of millions of dollars a year?  There must something else going on.

I doubt the Cambodian street sweepers in our village get anywhere near 300 baht a day each.  Maybe 300 split between the two of them.  They are fortunate that this is a large village (over 250 houses) and that a number of residents regularly give them food.

His overseas piggy bank is not full so he will hang on until it is.

At last a good story on TV.

The accompanying story does not say how much cash was found.  I'll bet London to a brick that the amount handed in was way less than that found.

Where I live now, we get supplied with biodegradable plastic bags for food scraps which we put in our green bin which is also for garden disposal all free of charge and also, we get a small kitchen bin we use for food scraps I have not used a rubbish bag for shopping in years have canvas bags for shopping 

We bury all the biodegradeable food waste in the garden or put it into a recycling bag.  There are lots of worms in the bag helping to break down the waste.  It takes about 12 months for the waste to turn into fertile soil which is put into the garden.

The 40 or so party jumping are only interested in self interest, calculating the best chance of getting their snouts into the swill trough.
