Three decrees by Thaksin and Co that astound me

1. Closing of petrol stations at night to save money!?!?!

2. Attempting to ban surfing the internet whilst inebriated.

3. Closing of Alcohol outlets in the afternoon.

Unforunately you seem to have completely missed the point. In most of the countries in Western Euyrope sensible legislation has dramaticly reduced the numbers of road deaths etc. Alongside this has come a liberalisation of the laws when alcohol may be bought - for intstance pubs in UK no longer have to close in the afternoon. If one seriously thinks that stopping people from buying in the afternoon will make any difference you will be sadly dissapointed, this has been demonstrated elsewhere already, thus the banality of this Thai legisaltion.

The booze thing has been in force for months in Pattaya.

I travel a pretty large mileage every month and the figure is more or less constant, closing the petrol stations does not save me one iota.

If you mean electricity consumption, this is minute compared to industrial and general domestic consumption and to cap it all the service station shops stay open with most of the lighting.

Furthermore what about all the staff that suddenly have been laid off?

Yet again what about some poor bugger who has to travel a fixed route every night and cannot complete it on a single full tank? His job or his delivery is lost.

As for the internet - oh well! But who can blame me for taking that seriously in view of some of the other whacky stuff they come out with in Taksin's ideas factory?

[wilko]

Oh yes...2 more..

mass registration of SIM cards

I agree - I remember reading that article, thinking "this is probably the April fools joke, but then again, TIT- you never know"....

After all, this is the guy who was trying to bring peace to the south by dropping millions of paper birds on them........

These kind of measures are reminiscent the kind of thing a primary school class might dream up as their first project on the environment.

As for Mr Pong – one can but many can’t –

And oh yes, I AM home!

Home is where you feel comfortable.
