Whilst we're on the subject of the heroics of the current Thai army generals... when I'm down by Tha Chang and the Royal Navy Club, they always look so proud whilst pulling up in their Benz', the door opened by their drivers, crisp white uniforms with hundreds of medals... Always makes me wonder: medals for what??? The navy only every had 2 battles from what I can make out - the battle of Koh Chang where a crappy old French 'warship' defeated their entire navy and the French took over half of the country as a result... & the kidnapping of the PM when the army sunk their flagship... Medals for what? Pride for what? Their history is a fuking embarassment!

Rant over.

Feeling very irritable today...
