Popular Post webfact Posted March 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2023 The Technology Suppression Crime Division of the Thai police is keeping an eye on the forthcoming April Fool Day in a general election year. Police from the Technology Crime Suppression Division worry that the English love of annual fun on April 1 has been adopted by Thais on social media in the last few years. So they are again reminding everyone this week that the (vague) computer crimes act lays down penalties ranging from 100,000 baht fine to five years in jail for false data which is likely to damage the country’s security, or might cause a panic, or could simply damage other people. To date, no actual prosecutions have ever occurred arising from the first of April’s “speak play” or “poot len”, howbeit with a couple of near misses. The advent of coronavirus in early 2020 led to a spate of long lasting Fool jokes about protecting yourself by drinking cow urine or sleeping with a sliced onion, but police expect this year to see a switch to politics with a general election due in mid May.

Popular Post Bim Smith Posted March 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2023 If you're stupid enough to fall for the old cow urine joke then there is no hope. In other news there is a severe shortage of calculators in Thailand during the month of May. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HuskerDo2 Posted March 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2023 Awww.. are we afraid of offending someone with a joke? Sad world we live in these days. FAR too Woke!! On another note.... when they mention 'sleeping with a sliced onion" I have two thoughts. Firstly, HOW can anyone take offense to something like that? In what way would it harm anyone? My second thought is.... how do they know about my ex-wife and what it was like every night for me? 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
