rcav8r Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 - We was actually planning to open this route next week, says Khun Somchai of State Derails Department. This train is notable to rail off in Patong, and we are working on a solution, says Khun Maibpai Igrotfai. I thought his name was Khun MaiBpai Changrotefai! AF !!!

astral Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Good one............... "derailed because it ran out of electricity" was the bit that gave it away. Mind you some Thais can make stupid statements like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) someone had to be the first to say it directly ... and take the air out of the joke ....

cbatson Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I noticed while I was posting my reply just shortly after this thread first appeared, that some replies would be there and then disappear on the next refresh. Seems like someone was actively monitoring the replies and temporarily hiding those that pointed out it was April Fool's Day, in order to keep the joke going. That's why, once they're unhidden, there's so many redundant posts about how it's April Fool's Day. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard W Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I noticed while I was posting my reply just shortly after this thread first appeared, that some replies would be there and then disappear on the next refresh. I think this is the standard operating procedure for the April fool. The cunning thing is that there are many ludicrous statements, but none individually more ludicrous than what one actually sees in Thai news reports. Sometimes the names are the only sure indicator that one is looking at an April fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
