Anyone with a decent motorized scooter, tuned-up wheelchair, or even functional zimmer frame was already out the door

 

Odds were on the tuned up wheel chair at 2:1. the scooter was 3:1 and the zimmer frame 8:1

 

Sergeant Colonel Vice Umpire General Somchai Brigituan, who was booking the bets had also disappeared by the time order was restored...

from my bridge club in Huahin right now :

 

Sorry everyone there will be no bridge for the foreseeable future.

The Thipurai City Hotel was visited by Police today and the management were told we had to show them our licence .

We are now in the process of finding out how to obtain one. We were told we could not continue to play bridge there until we get one.

We will update you as and when we have further news

Hope to,start up again soon.

 

Maybe Kong know how andbwhere to get such licence :)

"One frail, elderly woman in a flowery blouse, leaning on a walking stick, was

into the police van by a fellow bridge enthusiast as officers with shiny badges around their necks looked on."

 

And the writer is supposed to lived in Bangkok? Has he ever even see a Thai policeman? :p
