Despite appearances, the creature - known locally as a kha-nyou - isn't a rat at all. Robert Timmins described his tasty new discovery as a "spineless porcupine." At that stage, however, he'd never seen a live specimen so branding the enigmatic creature a coward might have been premature. For all we know, when ambushed by Laotian rice farmers brandishing sliced bell peppers and pineapple chunks, the bushy-tailed beast might have shown conspicuous bravery.]]> http://www.mangosauce.com/thai_secrets/new_species_in_lao_kebab_inspires_1million_prize.php http://www.mangosauce.com/thai_secrets/new_species_in_lao_kebab_inspires_1million_prize.php Thai Secrets Mon, 14 May 2007 21:50:37 +0600 Jail for Thailand's YouTube fans Fans of the banned YouTube video-sharing website will soon face "severe punishment" under a draconian new cyber-crime law.

Last Friday, I placed an order for a MacBook Pro, a 30' display and accessories at The APPLE Store in Siam Discovery Center, Bangkok. The total came to 188,000bt. Paid with a VISA Card. The APPLE employee would deliver the setup later. While waiting for the delivery at my condo, the APPLE salesperson, phoned me and claimed to have made a mistake on the bill and wanted another 12,500 before delivery.
