"PM Abhisit Vejjajiva drinks coffee at the Old Market in Suphan Buri’s Sam Chuk district. Unesco gave the market an Award of Merit for the restoration and it gave a plague to the PM yesterday."

Source: The Nation, December 13th. 2009. One more reason not to buy their paper. No proofreaders.

I gave up on The Nation completely the other day for referring to the Red Shirts as a "mob" before their protest had even begun. Calling it a "rag" is doing a disservice to ripped up pieces of cloth.

You don't understand. 'Mob' is Thai / Thai English for any large crowd of people, it doesn't carry the same connotations. Yellows were referred to as a 'mob' as well, and both groups often refer to themselves in that manner. They've borrowed the word from English but it doesn't mean the same thing here.

For sure the spelling leaves a lot to be desired.

You obviously never read the Gaurniad. :)

(aka the Guardian, a notable left wing, ex-broadsheet, British newspaper famous for it's typos)

I gave up The Nation completely when they sacked my friend (sub-editor) -nearly 2 years ago- and they owed him 6 months of unpaid salary.
