Thai Government Minister Of Culture Pissed Off At Saturday Night Live

February 4, 2013 by admin No Comments divider image

As I mentioned in a previous post, Protect The Image Of Thailand , it would just be a matter of time before the Thai Government, the Minister of Culture, or the Minister of Foreign Affairs opened their mouths and put their feet inside. “I am anxiously awaiting the response from the Thai Government to preserve and protect the image of Thailand and see which Thai Government Official puts his or her foot in mouth with more ridiculous statements.” Thai Government Minister of Culture Saturday Night Live I first heard about this “offensive” video on 1 February  from Tom at Isaan-Live , went to YouTube and watched it, had a few chuckles and then waited – waited for the Thai Government Minister of Culture to come out with the “damage to Thailand’s image” claim.  I got it today. Yes, it took the Thai Government until 4 February to issue their demands to YouTube to remove the video.  Once again, showing how stupid this Thai Government is, because all this now does is make more and more people want to go and watch the video

Khon Kaen Khon Kaen – Khon Kaen Retirement Sabers are still rattling in Bangkok as we await the results of the Prime Minister’s big meeting to discuss options on Preah Vihear. The Thai delegation will present final arguments to the International Court of Justice on Preah Vihear temple ruins 4.6 kilometer land clarification in April, and will discuss strategy on Friday. Preah Vihear National Park Sanity needed in temple row is the latest from the Bangkok Post, an editorial by an unnamed writer on Preah Vihear which talks little about sanity.

Pattaya And Phuket Thirty Day Crackdown Dog And Pony Show

January 13, 2013 by admin No Comments divider image

Khon Kaen Khon Kaen – Khon Kaen Retirement The Royal Thai Police have announced a 30-day crackdown on Thailand’s tourist areas of Pattaya and Phuket to give the impression they care about foreign tourists’ safety. The Pattaya and Phuket crackdown show started with a parade, as do most big events in Thailand, but will do little or nothing to decrease crime, will show a few glorified arrests in the areas (arresting ladyboys in Pattaya to be released 5 minutes later after a 100 baht fine is the norm), and then will be declared a huge success. Pattaya and Phuket Crackdown This Pattaya and Phuket crackdown will be just like the Seven Dangerous Days of Thai New Year in Thailand and fail miserably.
