So many April Fools, amazing...

His relatives say he was swept away in a landslide

Yup, swept him clear to Cambodia...

Just what we need: ORANGE SHIRTS!

Another crackdown cracking me up at the crack of dawn. I say: lower the skirts over the knees and show your cracks instead, that should keep everybody happy!

Some ideas to replace those lame game shows on Thai TV: Who's on crack??Whose crack is it?

Having seen other examples of letters written by Cambodian government officials in the local papers I'm not surprised Google hasn't bothered to respond. The quoted text of this letter isn't a lot better:

...devoid of truth and reality and professionally irresponsible, if not pretentious...

Pretentious??? Until these so called diplomats can start communicating in an adult manner the whole world will either ignore them or laugh at them.

I assume the Cambodian government used Google Translate to come up with this sentence...

"We are now at war with the military and I appointed myself a leader of the Democratic Alliance Against Dictatorship to fight for democracy and the red-shirt people accepted this," Khattiya said.

...so easy to become a leader, just appoint yourself...

From Patthanakarn, Bangkok

Okay, I'll try something a little different. Rather than planning a "meeting", I live on Sukhumvit Soi 24, a 5 minute walk from Emporium down the soi. If someone or two or more would like to come over to informally chat about getting this idea moving, let me know. I'm retired, so I can be available almost any time, although prefer afternoon or evening. The only day I'm not available is this Monday (Dec 28th).

I sent you an email w/my contact info via your profile.

As to the venue, how about the Starbucks in the emporium suite next to the Emporium, easy access by BTS and not so difficult finding parking there. The lounge there is pretty big (but too crowded on weekend?) and if we decide to go out on photo shoot we can go out to the Benjasiri Park next to it.

Ok with me

It seems to me that coordinating the different availabilities of any interested persons is the problem to get an initial meeting of the ground. Maybe, in order to achieve a substantial first meeting, it should be held on a weekend day in the evening when most people might be available. This group then could discuss the next meet according to their preferences and announce it on the forum, and then maybe get also some photography done.

Maybe I found this thread a little too late, but for what it's worth I am definitely interested in a photographers' meet here in BKK. I am quite flexible re time and place...
