Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Kittiratt Na-Ranong expects the event to run smoothly despite political protests.

"Those who plan protests should be reminded that we should do anything to impress our guests," he said.

Is that an indication the red shirts are or are not going to riot?

I put this headline in the same bracket as the often heard "Chairman gives full backing and support to his manager" football headline,  which is often seen shortly before the mentioned manager is sacked by the chairman.

#5338312 Vietnamese Pick-Pocket Gang Arrested At Bangkok Lady Gaga Concert

Posted Thai at Heart on Yesterday, 11:33

Pattaya daily really needs some better journalists.

Did these pick pockets actually do anything more than be in possession of some phones and a couple of tickets, and flying on an aeroplane together.  Note to journalist, when writing a stroy about an arrest, it is useful to actually catalogue some of the ACTUAL offences.

"US Embassy complained over Lady Gaga's fake Rolex tweet" - how about complaining about the appalling English in that headline?

#5329430 Lady Gaga Fans Gush, Critics Blast Fake-Watch Tweet: Bangkok

Posted xthAi76s on 2012-05-25 06:13:45

LMAO!!  Score one for the home team.  Great comment.  I'm starting to admire Gaga now.

Quote

Many were angered by the singer's remark on Twitter, where she has 24 million followers. Some fans called it offensive, insulting and bad for the Thailand's image.

What is worse for Thailand's image is ... all the stuff that happens in Thailand like the sizzling illegal goods trade that has been going on long enough (say the past 2 decades) that it is world renowned.  Thank goodness she didn't mention anything about the sex trade or this little country would have been up in arms.  They are so overly sensitive here about image.  Here's a tip: if you are worried about your image, then CLEAN IT UP.

These comments would tend to come from two kinds of Thai people.  

1) the moneyed, English-speaking, partially foreign educated Thais who MUST refuse to believe that Thailand is still in the dark ages so that they can justify their position in what they want to believe is a modern, fair, competitive and open society.  They certainly do live in a Thailand completely different form most of the other population.

2) the terribly educated but deeply nationalistic Somchai who probably can't tell you one important recent event about any country outside of Thailand that doesn't involve consumerism.  This Somchai is very deeply proud of most anything Thai and seems to find it very difficult to find anything in the Kingdom to criticize.

Actually, no, you are not, and, if you actually knew what most of the world thinks of you, you might REALLY be upset.

"She came to our home, but instead of admiring us she insulted us,"

Well, it is what it is.

Any comment would be superfluous.....

#5326599 Thailand's DSI Chief Is Proving To Be A Powerful Political Tool

Posted Roadman on 2012-05-24 07:33:45

Head line should read "Yet another example of Thai political corruption"

The words democarcy and Thailand do not belong anywhere near each other. The governance of the country is a joke.

Even many Ozzies have trouble understanding Julia Gillard's broad Orstraylian accent! Can only wish the PM good luck with all that!
As she has trouble comprehending any level of English, I don't imagine that will make any difference.

can they talk about important things like

1. why is Australian wine so expensive in Thailand?
2. why do i have to report every ninety days to immigration
3. why can Thai students work in Australia without a work permit

All overseas students can only work 20 hours a week not full time in Australia, other restriction also apply they do not get a free kick. I know because I empolyed them in my two Thai restaurants, students that is.

Working twenty hours a week is more than enough for most students!
.....and PMs apparently.
