webfact Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Red Lanterns Not Hung To Fix Junta Bad Luck: Govt By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter Government House staff decorate the building with Chinese red lanterns on Thursday BANGKOK — The government would like to clarify something: No, the lucky red lanterns placed Thursday afternoon at the prime minister’s office are not meant to deflect bad mojo brought down by the breaking of a lucky lotus bowl. What some are calling an attempt to reverse bad fortune, deputy prime minister Wissanu Krea-ngam maintained the lanterns are strictly for observing Chinese New Year, which began Thursday and will peak Saturday.

nev Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Great government tactics, when something is true come out and deny it's not true, I like it! It might catch on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coulson Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The first one to smell a fart is usually the one who wields it. Nice try DPM, nobody would have cared about the broken vase until you brought it up. I'm sure the majority of Thailand knows that it's Chinese New Year and don't really care about your superstitions anyway. Now where's the real story, like the 5 hour immigration queue at Swampy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a couple of delays up to 1.5 hours....5 hours never!!! Do tell. Because 200.000 chinese are arriving tomollow. I've been in the qeueu at swampy for over 3 hours...many things happened, chinese being yelled at (for qeueu jumping) and personally brought back to the end of the line by the IO....another one made a picture of the qeueu and had to delete that on the spot, she refused and got arrested. Many travellers were in panic since there were no ballpoints availlable for the paperwork.. It will happen again tomorrow i think... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
