» Re: "PM 'understands' students, warns them against bias", (BP, Feb 27). Like me, I suspect that the patriotic Thai students protesting for a better future for their nation did a double take when the PM piously intoned that "The most important thing is the law".

Born to love noise

» Daniel Reid in his June 3 letter, "Kill noise monsters", is right. There is a department to deal with noise pollution. I found this office at the Bangkok City Hall about 15 or so years ago, tucked away in a corner, staffed by 10 people, all who were playing computer games when I walked in. I was there to file a noise complaint. None of the staff knew where to find the complaint forms to fill in. When a form was eventually produced, there was little enthusiasm for anyone to listen or help out. I finally went outside to find "someone in authority" to light a fire under these people. At least I got the ball rolling after a few hours that should have taken a few minutes.

Responsible Thais were shocked to hear Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon say the reason the al-Shabaab terrorists attacked the DusitD2 Hotel in Kenya was because the hotel "has delicious Thai food"; and that it was "good enough" that Thais were not among the 21 dead.
