BANGKOK - Five thousand shirtless protestors descended on Government House early this morning, creating widespread indecisiveness among police, politicians and military leaders.

тАЬThere are two likely explanations here and a third quite interesting one,тАЭ he told NotTheNation. тАЬOne, with the arrival of the Thai hot season, the Red Shirts are finding it extremely arduous and sweaty to protest so they took off their shirts. Two, a splinter group has formed that is cleverly defining itself by wearing no shirts at all. Or three, DJ Station closed very, very late last night.тАЭ

That's hillarious. It's like something The Onion would come up with.

Edit: I just noticed that the story isn't from The Nation, but from Not The Nation, presumably a Thai version of The Onion.

Yes, Not the Nation is very funny and has the style of The Nation down pretty well, but I think it may be time for a redesign.

That club advertising on the front page sounds like just the thing to appeal to some of our Bangkok members and any others who like to disparage Pattaya (The Cultural Hub of Thailand!)
