[Local officers inspect bridge in Koh Chang’s mangrove forest]

"Local officials and reporters inspected a bridge..." 

 

Looks more like they interrogated the bridge, and it confessed to a crime. 

[Death in custody: Relatives doubt police claims]

"...he ran off and after a 150 meter chase fell over. That's what caused the widespread injuries, he said. " 

 

How many times did he fall over?

 

 

[20K fine and two years in jail - police warn public not to step out of line at Songkran]

"A large number of locals and foreign tourists flocked to Bangkok’s Khaosan Road last night (Wednesday) to engage in Songkran water fights, despite the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s ban on the usual widespread splashing of water for the third year, to prevent the further spread of COVID-19...The only big events allowed are cultural ones. "

 

Both the jails and government coffers should be overflowing by now. Unless tourists breaking the law is now considered a cultural event. 

[Study: Cambodia is one of safest countries in SEA]

"Cambodia is one of the safest countries in Southeast Asia."

 

If that's true, heaven help the rest of Southeast Asia.

 

As reported here, it appears that violence is increasing in Sihanoukville, or you can look up: "Cambodia gang violence".

"...the exchange of opinions, cooperation and the creation of promising atmosphere..."

 

Is it possible to translate that into Thai?

[Firebrand Chuwit says GI’s in Vietnam war left "legacy of sex culture" in Thailand]

"But Thailand had a big sex industry long before the GI's and foreigners ever set foot in the country..."

 

And way before then. It has always been a matter of supply and demand. Eve had something Adam wanted and he was willing to give something in return (Rumor has it that he would take care of her sick water buffalo). If there is no demand, then the supply of a product or service disappears. What Chuwit is talking about is nothing more than what particular form that service takes.

2 magazines worth of bullets.

It's a proven fact that worldwide, 82.842089% of reported statistics are made up on the spot.

 

Seriously, does anyone truly know how many people are living/visiting/hiding out in Bangkok?

My wife uses these a lot. Fortunately, she spends all her money as soon as she gets it, so there's nothing in her account to steal.

Plus, there's a good chance if someone steals your wife's card, he would charge less than she does. So, why report it if you're saving money?

 

[Police seize illegal sex toys in Bangkok]

"A Thai man and his Vietnamese wife were arrested for illegally importing the products over the border into the north east and distributing them for sale online over the last two years."

 

I suppose people will have to revert to the only sexual performance enhancer legally available...Lao Khao.

[44-year-old man dies after being run over by train in Chonburi, police believe victim was intoxicated]

"...the victim was likely heavily intoxicated."

 

Heavily intoxicated Thai man dies as a result of his own irresponsibility is NOT NEWS. The more i read about these events, the more I am convinced it is the norm. Especially during holiday celebrations.

[‘Make peace with Sinovac’ if Thais wants to get back to normal, official says]

"The lowering numbers was in-part due to the inoculation efforts of the government and the use of a Sinovac + AstraZeneca cocktail, according to an official at the Ministry of Public Health..."

Can we see the research results please. How do these numbers compare to the Control Group who did not get anything, or the group who got a placebo? I sure hope you aren't pulling these numbers out of your ***.

“If we sat around and waited for ‘better’ vaccines then we wont reopen until the middle of next year...”

Ah. The real reason for the rush. I wonder if the scientific community (sic) in Thailand ever heard of the old phrase "Better safe than sorry". Or, is it only about the money?

I see, now Thailand is saying they never got the paperwork ... or at least no official will dare admit having received (and ignored) it ... under risk of being sent to an inactive post no doubt.

"...never got the paperwork..."

Most likely meant the BROWN PAPER ENVELOPE. Which is usually all their work involves. 

 

 

[Sinovac has one big advantage over other vaccines, official says]

One anonymous Thai health official, vs. the rest of the world's health experts. Hmmm. Sounds scientifically sound to me. 

[Online learning opens up huge can of worms as parents get direct line into out of date Thai Education System]

"...now online learning has given parents a realtime window into the classroom.

And many do not like what they are seeing. "

 

I don't understand why they are surprised at what they are seeing. It should be deja vu to them, since the methods and substance of the education system has not changed in decades. What might be confusing to the student who is "learning' online is that they actually have to learn the subject matter, however outdated, and not get credit and recognition for being the first one to respond to the teacher's request. Even if it is the wrong response and has nothing to do with whatever subject is purported to being taught.

Can anyone reference for me the scientific papers where they have tested the effect of mixing different vaccines?

We don't need no stinkin' scientific papers.  

Can anyone reference any kind of scientific evidence that the "education system" actually educates the students? They are programmed to obey, not to question, and to follow the herd. So, they will believe whatever they are told by authoritative figures. Even if the results are catastrophic.  

["Honest" Anutin defends himself and vax rollout especially Sinovac and relationship with Chinese]

"...self-appraisal on all that has happened since late last year he praised everything about himself..."

Can't get a more objective, non partisan appraisal than that. Next thing, he'll be wearing a caped outfit, with a big "S" on the front, claiming to be able to fly.

 

"...his own performance, just like his PM, had been based on transparency and fairness and justice. "

Fighting for truth, justice, and the Thai way.

Is anyone else wishing for a freak snowstorm in Thailand? Make a nice picnic basket, go on a roof and watch Darwinism in action. That's entertainment.

 

[Jo Ferrari latest: Bail opposed as former cop says he was only doing his job - he denies murder]

Case closed. If you can't trust the word of a 43,000/month, salaried cop with close to a billion baht in assets, whose word can you trust?
