World Otter Day highlights conservation efforts in Thailand
huangnon replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Someone ought to tell that to the operators of tawdry 'zoos' here who keep the poor little critters in tiny cages, only let out to perform pathetic 'shows' for tourists. Hello "Underwater World" and "Nong Nooch Gardens". 🤢 -
RID Gears Up for La Nina with Strengthened Measures
huangnon replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's brilliant that Thailand has a taxpayer-funded org like RID and indeed a "Smart Water Operation Center" to handle seasonal rainfall. -
Srettha Promotes Clean Energy at 2024 EARTH JUMP Event
huangnon replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yep, he's all "show" and no 'go'. Basically a vapid distraction merchant. -
1,882 new COVID-19 hospitalisations and 16 deaths in the last week
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Basically, Thailand operates in the narrow little bubble of it's own language and culture. And superstition. Some "prominent" guy in a white coat and backed by some important-sounding acronym can say anything he wants, and it will go unchallenged here. -
Yep, watching this from my office window. Has expanded and increased a lot within the last 20 minutes. Maptaphut surrounding company sites have been evacuated already according to local news, just hoping fire fighters can get this under control within next couple hours..

Thai Toddler Murdered: Drug Addict Throws Child into Pond
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Eastern Thailand News
No good deed goes unpunished. What an utter nightmare for the toddler's parents. -
Unprecedented Heatwave Spurs High Power Demand in Thailand
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Well spotted. I didn't bother with much of the OP at all. Every time there is a smidge of "extreme" heat, rain, drought, or cold snap; it's "breaking all previous records", blah blah. You still taking these headlines at face value? -
Fake Cop Scams Migrant Workers for Cash
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Eastern Thailand News
Probably a relative or friend of a real (alleged) cop working there. Some companies working in this area (ours included) have been targeted by fake cops soliciting for 'protection' money, or 'donations' for PPE / bulletproof vests, etc. All scams when reported to the local officialdoms. -
Unprecedented Heatwave Spurs High Power Demand in Thailand
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Gosh! Another year, another "hot season" marked by temperatures in the 40's, the hottest areas in the North (Tak and Lampang). The only difference (in the 30 years I've been living here) is the reporting and the "fiery" graphics used.. 🤪 -
Giant Italian-Thai behemoth fights for survival and to pay wages
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My BIL works for them on a port project in Rayong. He has not been paid for over two months now. Rumours are that SCB bank is buying them out. -
Thailand celebrates UN’s International Day of Happiness
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yep, just another globalist acronym, seeking to centralize power into fewer (unelected) hands. -
Summer storm alert for 45 Thai provinces including Bangkok
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My lawn has been rejuvenated by the (so far) very light rain here in Rayong. Bring it on! -
Thailand must prepare for a possible influx of Myanmar’s young people
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I watched a documentary recently that stated a lot of those conscripts are drafted into military and secret police duties. Basically spying on their neighbors. -

Thailand braces for intense heatwave and summer storms
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Seasonal hot weather returns, as it does every year upon year. Hey, but let's use a bit of fear-mongering to steer the chickenheads a bit.. -
PM Srettha’s vision for Thai airports and aviation services
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Focusing on the thriving tourism sector helps avoid the criticism of the exports (80% of GDP) industries which are really in the doldrums right now. -
Thailand Plans Year-End Ban on Recreational Cannabis
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yep, another "grey area" where cops can make money on selective enforcement. Basically a 'gimme' to the BIB. Ho hum. -
Use Taylor Swift disappointment to fuel Thai soft power
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Gosh, Barry. I didn't mean to upset you so much.. Or indeed Taylor and her "Swifties". 😆 Good job she has such a sanctimonious soul like you to defend her, eh? -
Use Taylor Swift disappointment to fuel Thai soft power
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Get over yourself. It's just an opinion. The quote was from PT Barnum who was the godfather of promotion. Like you say, she is a multi-million dollar industry, has a big team behind her, managing her image, writing her songs, making sure she says the right things, etc. Tomorrow there will be another pretty face, when her 15 minutes are done. Big deal. -
Use Taylor Swift disappointment to fuel Thai soft power
huangnon replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Big deal. Anyone would think that Taylor Swift is some sort of musical / cultural messiah, instead of being just another vapid auto-tuned pop-star. Just shows that like PT Barnum once said, never underestimate the stupidity and bad taste of the general public. 🤣
