This from our war correspondent, Tim 'the sharky' Shark.
Motorbike Taxi guys think they are cops.. They are not cops.. They are just dickheads.. But they fool tourists into thinking they have authority.. All day yesterday they were confiscating the blue PVC water cannons off people.. Fair enough those things are so strong they can take out your eye.. So they are doing a good thing by getting them off the street right ??? The Motorbike Taxi guys out front of my place had confiscated around 30 blue PVC water cannons during the day.. So Songkran is finished for the day.. Everyone is getting food and relaxing.. I leave my building to grab some food.. As im leaving i notice the Motorbike Taxi guys have set up a stall, and are selling blue PVC water cannons for 150 Baht each.. Ha Ha.. What Scumbags.. Same thing will happen everyday over Songkran.. And it pretty much sums up how shit works in Thailand..
They made some good whiskey money yesterday.. By midnight they had sold out of water cannons
