Popular Post rooster59 Posted May 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2020 The week that was in Thailand news: Hallelujah! At least a semblance of sanity is returning to Thailand I'm not a religious person, more a devout atheist, yet were they angels I heard when my condo management decided to open our swimming pool at last? Nah, it was a more earthly noise; I mistook the screeching sound of the BTS trains, weighed down by the crowds returning to work, for something celestial. Having lived in Thailand nearly four decades Rooster often confuses angels and their sounds, if you get my drift. Still, it was a great swim on Wednesday on a beautifully clear and quiet Bangkok day. Trooping down to the deserted pool (are people still scared?) with my gleeful chicks armed with balls and rubber rings. My seven year old got her first sunburn and I strained my back with the first serious exercise since February. Another detriment was getting incredibly hungry. Swimming is something I have taught all my children to do, quite adeptly. I say "taught" but really it is just encouragement and repetition. With about as many children drowning in Thailand as dying on motorcycles, I figure it is an important life skill. Despite being a teacher for thirty years, I mostly stay out of my kid's formal education. After all it's better to have someone else to blame when it all goes pear shaped (like always having the Thai wife do the navigating in the car). I can teach them other important things.I steadfastly pass on my native tongue rarely indulging in Thai with my kids. I teach them the difference between Marmite and Vegemite while retaining an appreciation for both. I instruct them in moderate irreverence; if it descends into anarchy Mrs R takes over to reinforce the "Three Rs" taught at their Thai school.....religion, royalty and rote. Though I was happy that she agreed with me that the online lessons for the kids were so dreadfully dull as to be worthless. I shall continue to teach my kids self sufficiency, bread making and frugality until the school belatedly opens on July 1st. One must instil values in one's children. Like reminding them of the importance of being Asian when it comes to giving their respected dad half their salary. My eldest - a temporarily poor equities trader in Canary Wharf - pays for her mum, she's not daft. She says she will find funds for the Sunshine Retirement Home IF I make it that far. (Though I hope she doesn't think that will be an English care home where the inmates have been dropping like flies from the lurgy in recent months). I taught both my now adult children to play Scrabble. My son, now 26 and waiting for a few years for the university in Liverpool to open again, has two words after I introduced the wonderful world of crossword gaming to him. Child abuse. Life for Rooster started to resemble a semblance of reality this week. This was mirrored in the news. After starting 90% of my daily Thai to English news translations with "Covid-19" in recent months, it was almost a joy to get back to some honest to goodness road rage, senseless and needless murder with a slathering of Thai and Farang drama and banality thrown in for good measure. Almost.... After the opening of the pool I decided to venture out onto the mean streets of Bangkok. At least 98% of people in masks, some hiso's even in shields! I needed to shorten a long list of things put off because of lockdown. First trip to the mobile shop that I reckon sold Mrs R a dodgy battery. Strike one - I paid an extra 200 baht for a better one that is just the same. At least I didn't give in to buying a new phone as suggested by the owner who I now refer to as Amah Khee Gong at home. Then it was off to Lotus. The mobile shop had kept my phone for the afternoon so it was an honest breeze getting past the QR code brigade. I decided on "no have phone" rather than "mai mee thorasap" as I didn't want an inquiry or to use a pen. (Apparently old westerners in Pattaya are having problems with QR codes. They think it means Quarantine Rations. But I do sympathise; I grew up in an era when we used to throw stones at the geeks in the computer club because they were as square as the screens on their silly machines that would never catch on). Lotus (are two branches called 'loti?) delighted me with delicious nine baht lemons and 29 baht a kilo spuds. The latter went excellently with a free pizza delivery, promised on a previous occasion when the overworked motorcycle guy took over two hours from oven to door. My word those Grab and Food Panda guys are like buzzing insects flitting about the city. If you took them off the streets there would have been few bikers left. (One of my "steeds" is awaiting a spark to reignite it's potential for mayhem on the roads). Apropos, this week came news that 40 of those delivery dudes had been hoaxed in a bogus mass pizza and Oishi party. Next stop were the banks to get the two remaining ATM cards updated to the new 6-digit system. I'd forgotten my passport. Driving licence "chai mai dai kha". The first arranged it but said I had to bring my passport in on collection, the second shook her head wearily behind a mask, shield and makeshift screen. With the handy disguise of my my multi-rewashed Hello Kitty mask, I grumbled about being made to feel less like an old customer and more like a leper. Next stop was Big C. After registering at 36.5C or thereabouts for about the fifth time that day, I received what looked like a yellow Star of David sticker for my arm. Whatever, I wasn't there to buy pork but some cut price boxers. Finally to Homepro for a door knob that was duly fitted by our condo handyman who I call Egor. The other guy is Lurch. On the plus side, it is understandable that they know far more about knobs than me. Back home there was just time to paint the children's Wendy House fashioned from a fridge carton. The wife looked on admiringly but I was careful not to lower my guard and spill the beans that we have spent so little during the lockdown, 30,000 baht this last month. We'll see what damage there is when the air-con enhanced electricity bill arrives before I start getting generous. Like my return to normality so the news followed suit. Only less mundane! Here in no particular order are some of the best Thai based stories of the last seven days with a smattering of Whitehall and White House for good measure. Enjoy! 1. Drama of the week - especially for the forum curmudgeons who relish a hearty Thai bash - was the story of Ron, 86, who was rescued by a Liverpudlian after being allegedly mistreated and starved by some local family who kept him upstairs atop some pallets. A crowd fund was set up and he was due back to Blighty on Eva today. His Hua Hin savior, praised online as a superhero, quickly faced accusations of ripping people off in real estate. He was none too happy when I spoke to him about this, but after I managed to get a denial of sorts, he put Ron on speakerphone which proved quite a challenge for the octogenarian. Still, the war veteran and ex-cabby, two related fields of human conflict, expressed his heartfelt wish to return to Thailand one day. Not to hook up with another Thai woman but to reunite with his dog. Oh well.... 2. Dozens of hotel pool villas burnt to the ground in Hua Hin after sparks from burning fields nearby set them ablaze. The same thing happened last year. The disgrace that is crop burning has to stop both here in Thailand and in the rest of Asia. The cleaner air many of us have been breathing, as well as a host of other positive changes to the environment during the pandemic, must serve as lessons. Recently it was reported that national parks could close for two months a year. That's the spirit! 3. That bloated beast of the skies, Thai Airways, filed for a version of bankruptcy. Creditors can Whistle Dixie while the airline starts running into yet more billions of debt. Six thousand people face losing their jobs. They will buck the trend by going from inactive posts to something more constructive that, in time, might add to the Thai economy instead of bleeding it dry like the thirsty elite do with their so called "national carrier". 4. Most clicks of the week went to a Thai teacher trying to teach English online. Her pronunciation left a little to be desired. When I heard it I thought it was some new dialect of Asian-cum-African extraction combining sounds like those guys who click their tongues mixed up with weird tones. Bloomin' expat whinging about theThais' English, I hear some say. Well I know how the woman feels. I was a Thai language teacher here for twenty years. Mind you, my pronunciation has always been my strong point. And if I ever got too far out of my Thai comfort zone I could always switch to English. The lady on the TV didn't have that option; reverting to Thai would have meant a colossal loss of face, something as a barefaced farang I never needed to worry about. 5. My colleague "Dan About Thailand" wrote about how much he has learned during his lockdown with family on the beach at Koh Chang, about how he hoped his life would take a new path. I wish I could say I have learned something. But as I said in a previous week all I can pinpoint is that I am not as much of a hermit as I thought. Oh, and that I am quite useless at baking bread. 6. In Suphanburi a lottery seller took umbrage with a municipal "jobsworth" (my word) drawing blood and causing stitches after whacking him over the head with a coffee cup. It had been a disagreement over an overzealous mask wearing request. Not to condone his behavior, but being a closet anarchist some of these local officials remind me of the traffic wardens where I was born. Will bad karma be visited on them one day along with the people that attack them? 7. Thai drama of the week was undoubtedly the 70 year old grannie motorcycle taxi rider who murdered a young security guard. Jobsworth was not the cry this time though the guard may have started it. Gran couldn't believe that a swipe with such a small fruit paring knife could kill. Clearly her Khun Khrus didn't teach her that when you take a knife to a fight you may have to pay the consequences. 8. That pathetic, needless death in Bang Plee was reflected in Bang Bung, Chonburi, where a three year old toppled into a bucket in the loo while her cousins were otherwise engaged in the pointlessness of online lessons. Little Am died for nothing. 9. Down in FQUOTES (the Former Queen Of The Eastern Seaboard) another motorcycle taxi rider (my, aren't they mischievous!) made off with a foreigner's 10,000 baht he was doling out to the needy. Police are looking for a man with a number on his back, with no passenger, no helmet, weaving from side to side after consuming a vat of Lao Khao. Plod are working through 10,000 suspects. 10. Officials at Suwannaphum (my spelling) discovered there were three Nigerians hunkering down at the airport these last few months. Last week it was just one. Seriously though, it would have been better for the authorities to offer something more than Mama noodles to help these desperately stranded people caught in transit without visas. Is that so hard? 11. A NIDA poll captioned as Freedom vs Health told us that 78% of the Thai public wanted to keep the bars and clubs closed that infuriated the forum faithful no end. The people were also in favor of keeping the curfew. Not surprisingly this emboldened the National Security Council to recommend that the emergency measures continue for another month. The Covid Committee lapped it up and approved. Goodness, how these generals love their control. One likes to think that when this is all over there might be a reckoning. Then Rooster awoke.... 12 A reckoning is what will be coming in the UK after a series of gaffes and patent deceptions perpetrated on the British not least about those care homes. I have claimed in previous columns that the Thai and UK response was equally good and equally poor. I am starting to think that Thailand, with its handy recourse to authoritarianism, has leapt ahead in the credibility stakes. Over in the US of A its leader lurched and leered from the sublime to the ridiculous getting involved in a pathetic spat with the equally idiotic leader of the Democrats then swapping his Dettol for some other unapproved remedy. It's like Looney Tunes over there. 13. In Lopburi the tourist police took pity on another Brit who couldn't pay his hospital bill. I feel sorry for some of these foreigners in Thailand who have been unable to plan their retirement or have contingencies against change. But this one had a car for goodness sake and was on his way to visit friends. The report never mentioned if they could help. Thai police were also filmed (by themselves) offering the long arm of the law to a broken down motorcyclist. Well, it made a change from honest cabbies. 14. Again in Pattaya the traditional massage shops begged to reopen. Let's hope things end well for them though perhaps not in a happy ending. 15. Panasonic announced they were sacking 800 and moving some of their production to Vietnam. This thrilled some on the forum who are members of the SS........Schadenfreude Society. Finally, the railway police arrested a man and a woman in Hua Hin with 19 kilos of "ice". At first it appeared like finally some good work from plod until the name of the lady was revealed. METHanee the Mule kind of gave it away.

Popular Post Samui Bodoh Posted May 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) An interesting read as always, and a welcome recap of the week. 32 minutes ago, rooster59 said: Goodness, how these generals love their control. One likes to think that when this is all over there might be a reckoning. Then Rooster awoke.... In this 'Week That Was', we saw the tenth anniversary of Thais being killed/injured in the streets of Bangkok; it was a tragic element of the (on-going) events of 1976, 1992, 2006, 2009 and 2014. Yes, it is true that some of those events aren't completely 'Black and White' and that good people can disagree, but I hope all would agree that when citizens of a country are killed/injured in the streets of their capital city with few repercussions, it leaves a stain. A very ugly stain. If ever Thailand is going to progress politically, there will have to be a reckoning for these past actions; the thing about stains is that they fester, they blotch, they spread, they discolour things, they mar and scar the places they exist, and you can never really forget about them or ignore them, no matter how hard you try. In a similar vein we saw, with both hope and trepidation, the on-going re-emergence of pro-Democracy/Civil Society groups. I wonder what tactics we are going to see; the previous use of the laser pointers was brilliant as it drew attention to their message without causing any damage. Will we see 'flash mobs'? Some new graffiti (will Thailand's Banksy emerge?)? More music/music videos? Peaceful sit-ins? Demos on campus'? Targeted economic boycotts? Some new and even more creative methods and techniques? I still recall an interview with a student activist during the uprising against Mubarak in Egypt years ago; she was asked "Where did you learn to do all this?". She smiled and replied "An on-line University course...". I have great respect for those willing to take risks to create a better society/country for their fellow citizens. And, despite some setbacks, I take heart that every time there has been a reasonably free and fair election in Thailand over the last 30 years, the 'Establishment' has lost, even if that didn't mean actually ceding power. It is a truism that any society or country, especially a diverse one like Thailand's 70 million people, will have a variety of political opinions; methods need to be created for them to be aired constructively. One of the lessons of the last 50 years is that when political opinions aren't permitted to be expressed constructively, they might be expressed destructively, and that is not a long-term recipe for a healthy and productive society/country. Thailand's old paradigm is coming to an end and a new one is slowly forming; I hope that it (eventually) becomes a positive one that reflects many of the desires of the average 'Somchai on the street', but that is far from certain at the moment. Many will argue, with justification, that Thailand's Elite and Military are simply too 'dug-in' to ever be ousted, but when a society faces massive economic dislocation(s) and (especially) hunger, all previous truths are suspect and it is a leap into the unknown. Interesting times. Edited May 24, 2020 by Samui Bodoh Lack of Coffee 12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bluesofa Posted May 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2020 Thanks for the enclosed humour.

StevieAus Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 “ With about as many children drowning in Thailand as dying on motorcycles” I trust that was use of journalistic license as they say, I find it hard to believe that drownings would be that high. Notwithstanding, I totally agree in training them to swim when young, our little one was in the water before she could walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say but you are slightly off in your claim that the origin of the word JOBSWORTH was taken from a 1960s mantra. In fact, it was first used during the 1960s (you are correct there) but it came from a song titled "Jobsworth" by British/South African singer/songwriter Jeremy Taylor and refers to a low ranking official who follows instructions and procedures to the letter. It is often done just to p**s a person off and to make the low ranking urchin feel important, i.e. he is powerful and your are nothing. It could easily be applied to many Thai IOs dealing with our visa problems, who will tell you things like all orders must first be placed in writing in duplicate or triplicate with the appropriate department before being submitted, etc. and only when such supporting documentation has been received will we be able to, blah, blah, blah.

Stargeezr Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 A great read, and you are right about the USA, there are 13 states where the virus numbers are increasing but it looks like Brazil is in the race as well. It is always sad to hear about young children dying, because of inattention of the adults around. I hope that the International travel starts with even a few flights to get the last of the stranded people back to their countries or Thailand. Over a half a million people have died of the Covid virus, and the USA will be more than 100,000, but with 300 plus million, they may slowly get a more serious attitude about the virus. Looking forward to next week, Enjoy the pool and the cleaner air. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
