"The money will come from his Savings Face Account" I lke it! I bet Anutin's got a "big one" (Sexual innuendo intended!)

"So what if someone died" Think I'll put your name forward for " Humanitarian of the Year" award!

"the Thai government claiming Chinese are allowed back into Thailand" You have to be one of "The 120" desirables wealthy coming to Phuket last month last week next week Oh, never mind! P.S. Sorry about your cats!
