Today in the Bagkok Post

Thai news is freaking wild. You know how the Boston Globe, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, etc. are always so depressing and filled with stupid shit noone cares about like articles about health insurance? Definitely not here. Every single article is some fantastic story... half of it has to be made up. I bet there's some crazy Bangkok Post "Journalist" walking around coffee shops laughing at the people reading the thing with their jaw dropped. Oh, and probably 60% of the stories have to do with animals which is a huge plus. Take this for example:

The article is about people trying to export rare asps in their suitcase or albino tortoises in their trunk. One guy taped a newt to the side of his leg before getting on a plane. I think the article even mentions a unicorn.


Then there's this...


When a town floods in the United States, it sucks. All your stuff gets all moldy and water damaged and it's a big hassle... but when it floods in Thailand, your house becomes an amphibious refuge. You go home after a hard days work and sitting on your lazy boy is a freaky iguana... Chameleons in your sock drawer... monitor ate all your shaving cream... skink left the garage door open.


I don't believe this needs any commentary:
