The chances of a 4am national nightlife curfew are looking dim. Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul says his ministry strongly opposes the measure.

And of course charge more for 'falangs' 'cos double charging is all the rage. The rage comes free, from the overcharged customer.

Why is it always Phuket? do these t u r d s have something vested of interest there? Or is this a political ploy to sway groups over to the regime side.
