Thailand on Sunday (August 15) managed to top the leader board of a popular online game called Popcat, in which players gain points with a click of their mouse or a tap on their smartphone.

I've also been 'doing my bit for Thailand' with this, contributing towards their tally, when I'm sitting on the throne. It helps pass the time.

I sometimes wonder how we survived before the internet.... I certainly know it's helping me now.
