I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to report a crime to a Thai police station.  It can become a somewhat surreal experience.

7 August 2012: House Speaker Somsak Kiatsuranont was criticized by the opposition Democrat Party for changing the House agenda. The speaker had ruled that the debate on an aborted NASA weather research mission should be cancelled. ‘Parliament has the obligation to debate issues of national importance,’ said a Democrat MP ‘and since this matter was referred to Parliament by Cabinet, the Speaker has no right to cancel the debate.’

The scene is an investigation room in the headquarters of the Royal Thai Police. A Police Captain is checking the football section of Naew Na for possible crime leads, while a technician is hunched over some electronic gadgetry. From time to time he punches a button. From the next room, visible through a one-way mirror, come the kind of groans and moans that normally form the soundtrack of a porn movie. A Police Sub-Lieutenant is seated at a desk holding a pencil over an exam answer sheet as he writhes and jerks about.

Pol Capt: Bugger. I had Denmark down for a draw.
