It’s Friday and I’m sure everyone could do with a bit of a chuckle. This little article should give us all moment to pause…and have a little laugh. Of course, if you are offended by well-aimed satire (or by anything that could be construed as insulting the Thai monarchy) you should probably go here instead. Unless you already took up one of these jobs…in which case…
No dessert for you

“the band lacks tightness”; this has to be the worst political offense and a major threat to national well-being. The police sure know their priorities. Maybe there is reason to update the Longman’s dictionary’s Thailand entry and demand that the previous printing be destroyed, now that all music is on time and off-tempo musicians are in jail. Nu rak muang thai.

Notthenation is certainly very perceptive.
This was definitely good for a chuckle. I like the part about the kid who fled the country.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
