Girls just wanna have fun.

Why don't they rename it the National Anti-Taksin Commission and be done with it?

I wonder whether the package contained assembly instructions.

Very sad; you can't teach people commonsense.

We've heard this one before. Same music different orchestra.

Given that the alternative is "Vote for us or there will be another coup" I wonder why anyone bothers to vote.

Waiting to find out the penalty for floating krathongs in shipping lanes.

Just trying to think of a "return address " I can put on a few lanterns before releasing them near Dom Mueang tonight.

"Innocent until we prove them guilty...however long it takes"

Very few lanterns ever reach a height that would be remotely dangerous to an aeroplane and even if an aeroplane did hit one I cannot imagine there would be any serious consequences. These are flimsy constructions with a candle for propulsion. Are we seriously expected to believe that a 747 can be brought down by a candle?

Come to think of it I am now concerned about flying at any time if that is the case.

Death penalty my rump.

Get the fishing gear out.

The problem with these situations (as with war) is that the dead can't do the lecture circuit informing people how being killed sucks.

The cause is a national trait: lack of empathy.

We are fortunate to have such a magnificent police force, without which I am sure Thailand would rank far worse on this list.

Don't be surprised if the gold medal is for attending, and silver medals are awarded to people who arrive late.

In the decade since fares were last increased inflation has increased prices by 50%. That is the root cause of the poor service some drivers provide. This half-measure is pitifully inadequate and will ensure truly capable people find a better job.

Martin Clark us in for s surprise when he logs into TV today.

I just hope (but doubt) that the British police have a good idea how things work here, and know how not to be taken for fools.

How very crass, giving out the man's identity before notifying next of kin. Imagine learning that your son/husband has died from a newspaper or, worse still. A website.

Perhaps the "disease" killing tourists on Koh Tao should be addressed first.

At the current rate we will need several of these if we want to see over the pollution.

People are being very unfair to the Thai police.

I am sure any day now the investigation into these murders will be handed over to the crack team that is investigating the disappearance of Jim Thompson.
