Joke’s on ‘Big Joke’

Why do so many events in Thailand read out and entertain like soap operas? The latest episode is the Big Joke lawsuit against the prime minister for moving him to another post.

Big Joke is nothing but a swaggering braggart, a self-aggrandising policeman, (really nothing more than a high-grade civil servant), who was for himself only, garnering headlines on a nearly daily basis.

His constant bullying and bragging about how he cracked down on immigration violators with harsh words, and threats of severe punishment was his typical trademark.

Big Joke is indeed Thailand’s big joke. Even a well told joke becomes quite boring after a while.
