msc 17,762 Posted October 13, 2016 It's 5.23pm Thailand time right now, so not long to go if there's fire to this latest smoke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted October 13, 2016 It's 5.23pm Thailand time right now, so not long to go if there's fire to this latest smoke. Just the usual stuff: tense media race to be first to cover "the story". Some false starts are only natural since everyone knows his death is imminent. I'd only take these reports seriously if they came from (or were corroborated by) the Palace itself or (online versions of) Thai broadsheets or major Western news agencies (e.g. Reuters).
