So what does "wind down" mean?

Almost the same! Isn't the English language wonderful!

I see the Chief Master General has already cracked down on Dunkin Donuts!

 

Aren't the black beanies and belts a mismatch with the brown-shirt costume?

 

...and then those bright red ropes and mix of silver and gold shiny badges make it look more like clown than  "crackdown" attire. ????

 

I do love the Gestapo hats in various shades of brown, as opposed to the the black ones a la SS!

So much more Desert Fox Rommel than Auschwitz!

Obvious they were allies back then mainly due to similar fashion tastes!

Is there an authority who might get the bright idea that all those raids and razzias on foreigners might have a negative influence on tourism?

Who writes these headlines? Wind up means to close something down. They seem to be doing the exact opposite here. Not even a mention of Prawit so no watch pun either.

 

Maybe the same author helps create the catchy slogans so beloved of Thai authorities: 

 

It's like Google translate from Thai.

I'm sure it reads well in Thai.

 

I keep getting he for she  and cuddle?

And bright...  = chai = yes.

Big Moo... well yes, I can understand why, (and I do know Moo does not translate to cow...)

 

Should the headline read "Big Moo brings home the bacon"?

Looks like big moo has eaten all the bacon. 

Eaten the whole Pig.

 

Do these guys go through a fitness assessment?

Harassing and making more difficult for the LEGALS.  

Well, hopefully you Bangla boyz are clear of the Nigerian lasses who smell like baby elephants. Send them back to BKK soi 3-5, and by the way...........take an FFFF...ing shower.

How can it be negative to get rid of the scumbags? The sooner they get out the better.

Yeah lets go for the easy target, the lowest hanging fruit shall We? Pat ourselves on the back to show how clever we are (even though most of us have broken the law sometime in our lives). Good grief!
