snoop1130 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O’Cha has agreed to allow organizing Loy Krathong events nationwide next week, the government spokesperson said this afternoon, November 9th. This came after disputed reports from some media, although not our own, earlier this afternoon. Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, the government’s spokesperson, revealed to the Associated Press after the Thai cabinet meeting today that the Prime Minister did not order the cancellation of Loy Krathong events as previously reported on some media and restated his previous decision of organizing such events.

Just more confusion. He stated gatherings were forbidden, no music, no fire-works, no festivals, no markets, no lanterns, but you can float your Krathong? Now he says events are okay? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gsxrnz Posted November 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2021 Back in the 70's in the United Socialist Democratic Republic of New Zealand (formerly known as Godzone) some idiot invented a beverage that looked smelled and tasted (at least a little) like whiskey. Even the bottle looked like an alcoholic drink. But it was non-alcoholic and marketed as "the drink you're having when you're not having a drink". The brand name of this beverage was Clayton's. To this day to somebody of my generation, if anything in NZ was considered to be fake, false, a copy or a failure, it was referred to as "a Clayton's" in the local vernacular, much to the chagrin and eternal embarrassment of the manufacturer. Last year and this year we have and will experience again, a Clayton's Loy Khratong, a Clayton's Christmas and New Year, a Clayton's Songkran and the list goes on. In fact I would suggest we have had a couple of Clayton's years. Let's hope we don't have too many more Clayton's birthdays before all this BS is finally brought to an end. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
