New advice from the alleged 'government' of Thailand
A man walked into a Bangkok restaurant. Sure, why not?
He grabbed a glass of water from a waiter and poured it over a female who was eating. Bad choice.
His target is "Nong Ploy", an arena-muay Thai champion. She proceeded to begin to teach him why he shouldn't do that...
The disappointing denouement: Police and friends arrived and fined both of them 1,000 baht for disturbing the peace before she could beat the living crap out of the guy.

So, finally, Thailand goes all serious on marijuana.

TERRORISM BIDEN
The current president of the U.S.A. feels the sadz about the 9/11 hijacker Number 20 and wants to release him from prison.
Mohammed al-Qahtani, another Saudi, was supposed to be one of the hijackers but he had visa problems and couldn't make it on time.
His release is so he can be treated at a rehabilitation and mental health care programme for extremists in Saudi Arabia.

British comedian Jimmy Carr, who played Bangkok that one time, has dug a hole oir a grave for himself with a tasteless joke about Germany's Holocaust and Gypsies.
His current take:
"I am going to get cancelled, that's the bad news.
"The good news is I am going down swinging."
The worse news is the renewed rush to censorship by alleged "political leaders" everywhere.
The video at the link shows current events on this story. But there's more, everywhere.

QUICK REMINDER 2015
Thailand is still holding two Uighurs over the terrorist bombing of Bangkok's Erawan shrine that killed 20 (mostly overseas) Chinese in 2015.
No trial. Just throw them in a cell and hold them.
