Winniedapu Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'm sure that this story is just the tip of the iceberg, I'll wager that there is rampant theft/fraud in Thailand by Govt. employees. Even if the swindlers are caught, all they ever get is a slap on the wrist and pay some pathetic paltry fine, zero deterrent when you consider the sums of money they are siphoning...TIT, same shit, different day... Fully agree. How likely is it they got caught on the first time out? Not very likely I suspect. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloooooo Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 My local school gives out cartoons (big pack) of milk to the kids, instead of giving them one per day . So maybe it was just the kids giving the cartoons to their parents and they take it over the border to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halloween Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 a lot of thai children don't seem to like their school milk. my stepsons bring bags full of this milk home with them at times, rather than throw it away it is been given to children who have milk drinking relatives at home. i sometimes don't buy milk for my morning cereal for weeks. perhaps a school found a way of generating a bit of income this way instead. As I understood it some years back, the milk is offered to all the children but many don't like the taste and refuse it. My girls did like it, and every few weeks brought home a 24 pack tray, which they consumed at home. As a child, school milk was compulsory in infant's school. I used to buy a straw with a flavour insert each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he said that was his first priority. Not doing terribly well then, is he? Crime at all levels is increasing at about the same rate the economy is crashing.

Must confess to a bit of a deliberate wind-up there, but the yellow brigade with their obsession with the Thaksin tribe do get boring unless you poke them with a sharp stick from time to time. Nice to get a reaction. There is no established link between the milk in Cambodia and any Thai governmental organisation and it could all be entirely innocent, however the fact that it even got to the newspaper highlights the assumption that everyone makes that corruption is involved. Having promised to tackle corruption, that does put it into the PM's court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbj2 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I thought that most Thais lacked the genetic adaptation necessary to digest milk and other dairy products beyond the age of weaning; if that is correct, what the hell are they doing giving schoolkids milk? There's the excuse; milk is harming our kids,so we gave it to Cambodia to protect them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 We've received less milk this year as well. I've noticed since it's what I've used for making pancakes before, now I've had to buy the milk myself. Most likely skimmed off before ever reaching the schools.

Place your bets now ladies & gentlemen as to who's behind this unique scam,- today's favourites in the running are... rogue monks, inactive-posted MiB, Trawler owners under restriction, Tour-bus drivers still on the run, Or maybe you'd like to bet on the 'outsider'..within the cartons of milk shipped over the border was a cache of tiger-parts destined for a chinese rail-investor..??
