OJAS Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 It is worth noting that the Pattaya News article was published at 17:45 today - nearly 6 hours after what I have always believed to be the noon deadline for April Fool jokes. Bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, I think! Or maybe the noon deadline for April Fool jokes doesn't apply in LOS?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Moonlover Posted April 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2022 I wonder whether they'll issue a timely warning that hurling buckets of water at passing motorcyclists is not a very good prank either. Or will that warning come too late as well? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unusual to see them go after them for stuff they did 15 years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon43 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I fully agree with the original report! I read early on April 1st how the government cared for the people of Thailand and the health and prosperity of the nation was their #1 priority. Clearly, this was an April 1st joke in very poor taste... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's all okay.... because those "pranks" are not confined to one particular date in the year, April 1, but are pulled off EVERY DAY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I think it might be more of an issue in countries where official statements tend to be more ridiculous than April Fool jokes. Thailand might have a problem there.
