Sure ... they have a minister who seems well versed on Australian drug laws with a great deal of personal experience.

Not sure that voyeurism is allowed on the TVF ... ????

You call it voyeurism, I call it fact checking 555

So, does that 96 include the 112 prisoners and guards announced today?

Sounds like some people can deal it out but don't like it when it is dealt back. Go Rooster!

I'm happy for you to point out any post of mine where I have been rude or disparaged any poster in this forum.

Thanks for your input ... 

You really should try not to denigrate your reader base.  It is getting tiresome.

Interesting that here it's referred to as a mob, but the riots in Myanmar are accepted as the citizens fighting for their rights.

I always wonder how they pick these people to poll and if they ever choose people other than politicians or soldiers.

I'd really like to see the number of tests conducted.  Without both figures how can you tell if there is a decline in people testing positive or just a decline in testing?

Isn't this what the protester volunteer guards were recently arrested for?

The Thai guy was definitely in the wrong however we don't know what caused the anger (maybe the Russian had a different opinion to his aggressor).  I still think that if I was there with my child I would have walked away.

And I thought it was just me who thought the author takes great delight in denigrating and alienating the TV audience ... I see like minded people commenting ...

"Don't be afraid of the virus" says the man who can use hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of elite healthcare and experimental drugs that almost nobody else in his country can access.

Tick for Amazon ... I'll make a point of buying a coffee or 2 from them next time I'm in Thailand ...

last time I looked at the water in Pattaya, there was raw sewerage floating past.  Hopefully Jomtien will miss out on that "beauty".

When are they going to start prosecuting the drivers and vehicle owners for this?  Brake failure is not an excuse it's negligence. 

This is pretty much like owning a restaurant that has no customers and encouraging your wife to eat there ... you are not really bringing in any new money.

Not much good building reservoirs if there is no rain to fill them ... until it rains it's just a hole in the ground.

Good on it ...

So for me the interesting take on this is that Farang and the tone it was delivered in is "using a derogatory Thai tone when describing Europeans" ...

Here we are embracing it because the Thais have sold us a story that it is just a normal general use for european people ...

With those names I wonder if they are Austrian rather than Australian?  They are germanic names.

you will note that the cane is burnt before it's harvested (see the image) and it's to clear out the matted lower growth (and snakes).  It is not to burn the residue.

This is not necessary when it's machine harvested, but when cut by hand it is ...

The solution ... create a pool of harvesters that can be cheaply hired by the farmers and find new jobs for the cane cutters.
