Abhisit and Thaksin

As everyone knows, former Prime Minister Thaksin and colleague Abhisit are very concerned about the fate of the poorer Thais. So they decided to investigate together. They hired a private jet that of course flew over the Isaan.

After some time observing the land below, both agreed that poverty reigned supreme in Isan.

"Let's throw down a 1000 baht bill," said Abhisit, "at least we'll make someone happy."

'Very nice', replied Thaksin, 'but if we throw down 10 bills of 100 baht each, we will make 10 people happy!'

The pilot mumbled angrily in the argument: "If you both jump out of the plane now, you'll make everyone happy!"

Generals

During a nice dinner, the conversation turned to Thai generals. "Well," said someone, "I think they're all stupid, and the Supreme Boss most of all." He was immediately arrested by a policeman in plain clothes who, sitting at a nearby table, had overheard everything.

Some time later, the friends got together again. “Remember that arrest? He got thirty years in prison!'

'How can that be,' said another, 'slander is only a year or so, isn't it?'

"Yes, he did, but he was eventually convicted of betraying a state secret!" 

Issues

God once invited three Southeast Asian prime ministers to listen to their problems and give them advice.

The Cambodian Prime Minister spoke first. "When will we leave the shock of the killing fields and become a nation of good Buddhists again?"

God thought for a moment and said, "A hundred years from now." "Oh," lamented the Prime Minister, "I'll be dead long ago!"

The Prime Minister of Laos asked the following question: 'When will we become a real socialist state after thirty years of revolution?'

And God answered, 'In two hundred years'. The prime minister said with tears in his eyes: 'Then I won't be alive anymore!'

Finally, it was the Thai Prime Minister's turn. “We have had 1932 coups since XNUMX. When will Thailand get a real democracy?'

God was silent for a long time and then burst into tears, "I won't see that again!"

complain

Long queues of travelers waited at the Lumpini subway station as crowded trains passed by. One man said angrily, “The government is so inefficient and corrupt. Why can't they solve those traffic problems? I'd like to tell that prime minister the truth and kick him.'

The people around him cheered and said: 'Great, do it, also on our behalf. We'll keep your place here.'

After a short while the man returned dejected. "Did you kick him?"

'No Unfortunately not. The line of complainers there was much longer than the line here!' 

Select

Someone had served their time in the afterlife and would be reborn. God gave him three options for his next life from which he had to choose two.

Those possibilities were: being a Thai, being honest and being intelligent. Because he knew that Thais are the happiest people on earth, he naturally wanted to choose a life as a Thai. He found it difficult to make a second choice.

God helped him: 'If you are Thai and intelligent you cannot be honest. If you are Thai and honest then you cannot be intelligent. But if you choose honesty and intelligence then you can't be Thai.'
