The chairman of the Thailand Laughter Club says that stress can be treated with laughter. It's a free medication that doesn't need any equipment. It can also be used for other afflictions such as heart disease, obesity, pulmonary disease, and insomnia. Laughter therapy can help any people facing problems or illness. Laughter therapy activates the blood circulatory system. Overweight people who underwent laughter therapy for six weeks lost between three and four kilograms without dieting. It's all very well for him to laugh: The chairman of the Thailand Laughter Club had a good living from his laughter therapy for the past 11 years... NightWalker's News Flash is a laughter therapy free of charge.

Be warned: He prefers to move around Pattaya on his 150cc(!) Chopper.
We are considering to change his name to NightDriver.

According to an intelligence report a military officer hatched a plot to capture returning Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej at the airport and to remove him from power. In 1991 Thai military overthrew then Prime Minister General Chatichai Choonhavan in a similar manner. The plot is linked to rumours that PAD (People's Alliance for Democracy) is in cahoots with some military officers who were involved in the September 19 2006 coup. Usually the airplane carrying Thailand's Prime Minister has to land on Wing 6 at the air force headquarter at Don Muang Airport. It is suggested that the plane should be rerouted to Suvarnabhumi airport. The incident shows again that People's Alliance for Democracy is a veil of the Thai military. The name of the organisation is misleading the public. PAD is not - and never has been - a democratic movement. It is well-known that PAD core leader Sondhi Limthongkul has high regard for the former caretaker of the Council for National Security (CNS) ACM Chalit Phukphasuk. The CNS was set up by the military junta.

Poor countries like Laos and Cambodia can boast some mobile technologies and services that Thailand lacks. Thailand's current political instability is the major case for the lack of third-generation (3G) mobile services in Thailand. Thailand's Information and Communication Minister said that he would push for the intruduction of mobile broandband services within the next 12 months - if the current government survives. 3G licences involve a broacasting component which is supposed to be the job of the National Broacasting Commission (NBC), which has never been formed...

The Assets Scrutiny Committee (ASC) wrapped up its task on June 29 2008, a day before it goes out of existence after filing four legal cases against ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra and cronies. The ASC was set up by the military junta. It was given the task of finding and punishing corruption during the Thaksin years. The agency had conducted investigations into 24 cases but has been able to file just four lawsuits against politicians, none of which has come to full trial yet. According to ASC seven other cases with completed investigations are being considered for possible prosecution. But ASC's investigations into five cases had been incomplete and the Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) returned them to the ASC for more evidence. Just another case of wasting taxpayer's money by the military junta.

75% of the world's 350 million Hepatitis B carriers reside in the Asia-Pacific region. An estimated three million Thais are thought to be carrying the virus today. However only 15% are undergoing proper treatment. Hepatitis B is a major health threat for the country as millions of people have the disease. But most of the patients only learn about it when it's already too late. Most of its victims in Thailand are males. The virus can cause chronic infection in the liver. There is no cure for the disease.

Cosy Bar 2, Krits Bar and Noi's Bar in front of Sabailand had to close to make space for a new shophouse. It is said that the new building will house new bars with (shortime?) rooms to rent on the 2nd and the third floors. Most of Cosy Bar's ladies and lady boys can be found at the new Cosy Bar at the Soi 2 Bar Complex, just at its main entry on Second Road. You can't miss the bar:
Just look out for Pattaya's most beautiful Lady, but be warned - it's a Lady Boy. Cosy Bar is also the working place of the pictured lady.
A real Thai girl.

Southwest Airlines will save $42 million this year with slower flights.
