looking at the pic, do they still actually pack thier cans by hand, wasn't that process replaced back in the 19th century.  I hope they wash thier hands after the toilet break.  They are not even wearing food preparation gloves which I thought were mandatory.

I have been in a few of these factories... They do have automated packing machines... these workers are doing QC and QA... either checking the consistency of the packed cans, or adding fish where some are missing.

But, rarely have I seen them wear hygienic plastic gloves... though the level of cleanliness and hygiene will vary between the factories, depending on their size and which label they are packing for. (Clover Leaf, Bumble Bee, etc.)

The red shirts' proposal is very advanced for the Thai political party system. If primary elections are adopted by the Pheu Thai Party, the party might become a real mass-run party, but Thaksin and his clan might lose their grip on the party.

The Tea-Party comes to mind!

Is it my imagination, or are all English-language marketing slogans in Thailand based on the rearrangement of six or seven vaguely positive-sounding adjectives, half of which are never used by sentient native English speakers? I suppose we should be grateful they haven't used "upscale" or "trendy". Actually, that might work. "Trendy Thailand, For all Your Upscale Lifestyle Needs".

Their English skills don't include "Neutral" Adjectives... so they don't realize that both 'Amazing' and 'Miracle' can be used both ways, Negatively as well as Positively... They are not uniquely and solely Positive adjectives.

But this is Thailand... TIT and correct English from the government would be an Amazing Miracle!
