I think it does not really matter if they build a fence or not. If there is a fence then I am sure someone will make sure that there is a blind spot or a hole or whatever. TiT

Is it any wonder that individuals are available to be the grunts if they are getting 10,000 baht?
What lame answers since I am sure that the proper funds were there to put the proper security in place. As long as I have been here it never ceases to amaze that so many things go undone yet priorities can be put on 7 million junkets.

I'm glad they were referred to as "throwers" near the end of the article, as I thought the term "tossers" was a bit derogatory to this enterprising pair.

"However, the warden said, the wall needed to me 130 meters in length, but with the budget allocated they could only erect 90 meters of fencing."
Could it be that the budget would be sufficient, if not for 30% (not much!) disappearing in someone's pockets.
