The right time to look on the bright side

Well, here we are in 2013 and wondering, rather nervously perhaps, what's in store for us in the Year of the Slithering Reptile. Unfortunately, it will most likely be a grim year, but we'll leave the gloom and doom stuff for the experts. It is time for a bit of positive thinking.

No doubt we are in for another amazing 12 months in Thailand.  In fact last year we enjoyed a bonus _  2012 Thailand was not only "amazing", but it was also a "miracle  year", not that I can recall too many miracles.  I suppose simply surviving is some kind of  miracle these days.

You don't have to be Nostradamus to predict that in the Kingdom there will be some entertaining tales of alleged skullduggery emerging in the coming year,  featuring influential persons, with  daily front page  helpings of absurdity, silliness and ludicrousness, bordering on preposterousness.

    Thank you Crutch. You have made me excited about the prospects for the new year. But please don't go away from me. I need your wisdom and guidance to survive in this maze. The best wisdom for me is "stay home".

    About that "First Car Buyer" scheme: How many of the drivers of those First Cars are actually the buyers? Bet most of the buyers are nominees of people who already owned cars; simply wanted to get a shiny new SUV for Christmas!
