Thailand's Dictator angry again
Thailand's undisciplined Dictator General Prayuth Chan-ocha tore into reporters in abrasive language Friday, reiterating that he would not step down ahead of March’s general election, saying oust me if you dare, jerks.
On Friday afternoon, he had to apologize for the crude words.

Pattaya News Flash reports about the funny side(s) of this World Class Resort.
Why not arrest the Principal?
The Nation reports that the police arrested a 32-year-old man transporting 495 kilograms of marijuana worth an estimated Bt5 million.
For many years we have been observing this recurring procedure: Police hang the small ones, warn the big ones behind the crime with quick success messages - and let them escape...
But the best
is yet to come: We update NightWalker's News Page as soon as we get new information.

Confidential: This is a Joke
Health Benefits, Risks & Nutrition Facts
A Banana a Day can keep the Doctor away
The Food Industry tells you to Consume Dairy Products, not your Body!
There's no animal on the planet that drinks milk after weaning - and then to drink milk of another species even doesn't make any sense.
And cheese, with its combination of sodium and concentrated butterfat, should not be part of your daily diets.
During life, lactose intolerance increases. It can therefore inflame the intestines and affect the immune system, as the body no longer absorbs vitamins and minerals.
Nevertheless, a pasta or even a pizza without cheese? Heaven forbid!
Fruit Juices increase the Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes
Fruit and vegetable juices are a highly lucrative business option.
The global fruit and vegetable juices market was valued at US$154 billion in 2016 and is still growing.
With the help of the media, the industry catched health-conscious consumers, telling them that a fruit juice can help to lose weight and ‘detox’ the system without missing out on nutrients.
Almost all fruits contain fructose, a natural kind of sugar.
Fructose doen't have harmful efects, as long as it not contributing to excess daily calories.
This is because the fibre found in whole fruits is intact, and the sugar is contained within the fruit's cells. It takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down and for fructose to enter the bloodstream.
But that's not the case with fruit juice.
In a fruit juice most of the fibre has been removed. As with ordinary sugar or honey, fibreless fructose is absorbed more quickly and is increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
It’s recommended by the World Health Organisation that adults have no more than 30g of added sugar, the equivalent of 150ml of fruit juice, per day.
Invisible for Motorists
Burned out by the sun:
The much-used zebra crossing at Tukcom (South Pattaya Road) has been invisible to road users for weeks. Obviously nobody at Pattaya City Hall cares.
Nobody cares

Tee Rak A Go-Go announced to open on February 14th. on Valentine's Day, its bar.
But the opening failed because the licence didn't arrive at time.
Nevertheless, since February 20th the club is open with all the necessary papers.
The opening was first scheduled for February 9th, obviously because 9 is a lucky number in this country. Nevertheless, we believe that February 14th was even more appropriate given the name of the venue.
In the next few days Pattaya's experts will certainly repair the non-functioning sign of the bar. In this High-Tech country you simply can't have fixed every single problem in time...

No Alcohol Days
Thailand's National No Alcohol Days include Buddhist holidays and election days.
On all other days alcohol can only be sold between 11:00-14:00 and 17:00-24:00.
Vendors caught breaking the ban are liable to a prison sentence of up to six months, a 10'000 Baht fine or both - but local Police use their own discretion to decide which venues need to be visited and fined...
Don't start laughing:
Do not try to buy non alcoholic beers (available from Clausthaler and Oettinger in this country).
The shops won't sell them during dry days.
Some not even sell Soda Water, because Thais and their Police associate it with (Thai) Whisky...
There's a sucker born every minute...

Smartphone Driver License not Accepted
On January 14th Thailand's Land Transport Department presented an electronic driver's license to the public and told the press that it goes live nationwide on January 15th, 2019.
But on January 15th, the Royal Thai Police told the media that it will not accept the digital driver's license touted by Transport Officials just a day before.

Milking Foreigners!
Thailand's National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department ordered that admission fees for foreigners at national parks throughout the country have to be 400 Baht.
Entry charge for Thai nationals remains 40 Baht for adults and 20 Baht for children.
To cover the inequity the local's prices are printed in Thai script only.
No progress on Jet Ski saga:
Pattaya City Hall still doesn't do anything to stop the scam!
All the announcements made during last year were City Hall Blah-Blah only...
As long as Jet Ski vendors - respectively their victims - fill up our officials' pockets nothing will happen!
Update (published by Pattaya Mail): Problems with Jet Ski operators unsolved. The boats are overloaded, don't provide lifevests for all passengers, are badly maintained and aren't covered by adequate insurance policies.
Pattaya's lazy and allegedly corrupt Officials promised to check owners, personnel and boats regularly, but they don't. According to Pattaya Police, it is common in this resort that foreign tourists get drugged and robbed in their hotel rooms, apartments or houses by prostitutes or ladyboys. Ladyboy Pick-Pocket Gangs are working almost daily on Pattaya's Beach Promenade! Never wear Gold in Pattaya! Between 30 to 50 snatching valuables cases are reported to Pattaya's Police every single month. Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings
