Marvo Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The sad thing is that I read this crap coming from the Thai government EVERY day! What we hear today is no less believable than any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBN Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Never fear, if you are a Thai Visa forum member. I have it on good authority that TV admin is in negotiations with the relevant Thai authorities to get TV members exempted from this ban. Obviously, this privilege will be extended to mods only for a trial period during Songkran but then may include members with up to 500 prime posts. Newbies will, unfortunately, not qualify but mods will also be extended the privilege of longer happy hours and additional discounts at selected TV sponsor establishments for alcoholic beverages. This will be facilitated through the issue of a special TV membership card indicating the special privileges for the holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunkeyDorey Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Songkran alcohol ban canned, crackdown on alcohol postponed to April 16 Alcohol crackdown to start April 16 Massage parlour minimum age The Muslim Cancer is in full swing in Thailand. Restriction of personal freedom and choices. 'Too many rules' as wisely said by my friend who has recently moved to Cambodia. Time to move on after 14years.

Targus Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Not sure if I read all this right... does it mean that on Saturday night you can't go out and have a drink with your meal? And does it mean that on the weekend there will be loads of people out on the roads, drinking alcohol they bought at other times? Not quite sure how this is going to work...The over 40 thing... maybe it would work if people who are actually qualified can keep their jobs, seems a bit over the top... Has anyone realised that it is April 1st and all this could just be a joke - I cannot believe that anyone could be serious about banning anyone under 40 from giving a massage!!!!

And working very hard at it too. I make note of "very tricky" at top of page two, because while editing, my post disappeared again. Still it was very funny.

barnsleyman Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The government is also requiring all food shops andresturaunts to only open one day a week in each district, this would ensure that all inter city taxi and bus services are used to capacity. To ensure full employment for the hospitals it is a requirement that all operators of transport vehicles have a a blood alcohol reading above 0.08 at all times.

tranquillize Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 All i can say is wow. 2 more small steps toward a dictatorship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrecker Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Another proof that the Democratic Party is under the complete influence of hardline Muslims in the South from which they draw their main support. Banning alcohol or even floating the idea on a National Holiday makes no sense. The ban on people working under 40 in a massage parlour will only encourage people to prostitute themselves in public places, like Lumphini, unprotected and with a very big chance of being harmed. I suppose that this is the price we have to pay to keep power hungry Suthep where he is now. Never mind the fact that he will meet fierce opposition from the Mammasahn in his government, the minister ofCommerce, who runs one of the biggest Massage Parlours in the business. And I can tell you out of experience that you will not find much employees over 40 there, unless you refer to the agents of the girls. The bottom line is that both attempts to belittle grown up Thai people are completely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultramann Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Anyone thought about the fact that today is APRIL FOOLS Day? C'mon....C"MON this has gotta be a joke. If it's not, it confirms my belief that generally speaking, the Thai's thought processes are a bit "stunted" and often underdeveloped. But that's also why the world loves coming here. It's the opposite of the adult world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
