Can all you faithful news hounds out there keep us all posted on any of the latest "crackdowns" currently ongoing in Thailand. Provide details as you see them and I will submit a weekly summary. Its a dirty job but someones got to keep track in the land of crackdowns. Summary will include effects, usefullness and how long they last before dissapearing into the ether!! "Crackdown, Thai Rak Thai working to make itself look good in the paper"

Yes, could be a cracking title for a new forum

I want to set up a league table of crackdown effectivness, I think the ratings will be very low in all honesty. A crackdown here usually involves one token arrest and a lot of colum inches then dies out pretty quickly. Todays crackdown is food toxin levels, I shall keep my eye open for it's falure in the near future

Just don't make it political at all toastie!!! try and keep it amusing.

as if it would be anything else!!!!! crackdowns here and amusing go hand in hand

I just went for lunch, I donth think the crackdown on illigal food additives has filtered through yet

The crackdown of not selling alcohol between 2-5pm seemed to be working in Central in Phuket.

Not only did a uniformed guard came (after my squabbling with the cashier for a 2 minutes extended period) and took away the half dozen of liquid gold, he even shut the transparent plastic canvas on the beer shelves, right in front of me!

BOOOO HOOOOOO

looks like toast wars is out of a job already

The crackdown of not selling alcohol between 2-5pm seemed to be working in Central in Phuket.

Not only did a uniformed guard came (after my squabbling with the cashier for a 2 minutes extended period) and took away the half dozen of liquid gold, he even shut the transparent plastic canvas on the beer shelves, right in front of me!

BOOOO HOOOOOO

That crackdown is limited to quantities under 10 litres.

I'm well under 10 litres. No one was allowed to buy anything alcholic, not even a bottle of SPY.

Sorry, you misunderstood me... what I meant was you are allowed to buy if you are buying quantities GREATER than 10 litres.

Sorry, but couldn't be arsed copying the links as there's soooooooo many of 'em 

lets see what we can do with a few of these:

Narathiwat voter crackdown: Did they find out that some votes had actually been cast in favour of TRT?

Ko-pha-ngan speedboats: dunno anyone been down there recently? I susspect they are still packing in the drug addled and drunk like sardines

Sexually explicit advertising + Net Porn + pornornography....Has anyone been to the first floor of Pantip plaza lately? a resounding non crackdown crackdown

Chang Mai crime crackdown: bwahahahahahaa!!

Phuket fakes crackdown: another hearty Bwahahahaahaa!!!

Logging crackdown: I mean all you have to do is get down to each areas forestry department and take a look in the car park, takes about 5 mins to catch the perps

Second drug crackdown: make sure you are not even carryig asprin, or you will become another dead drug dealer

the rest I will work on for the weekly round up

laters

Weyhey! Another one!!!

Although this one does lean more towards the sensible side of things...

Don't know about "just central BKK" but it is certainly being imposed (for the moment anyway) in Chiangmai.

Toastie,

I was going to keep this quiet but I had better come clean,

I have just found a crackdown the back of my shorts.

Yeah, but I thought it was a speed boat going straight from the beach to Samui that sunk, wouldn't standing at hat rin pier, restricting the amount of people getting on boats there, only make more people get on boats on the beach!?!

Well, they've cracked down on 'inappropriate' television content, or say they will. One of the dating shows has ben catching ###### as being on at the wrong time of day as it makes a bad impression for youngster, or I think that was the argument. Blood letting and such, full-speed ahead.
