Monk scoops 18 million baht in the National Lottery





Picture: Thai Rath



A Buddhist monk in Surin has won 18 million baht in the National Lottery draw held yesterday.



Phra Somthip Ananyo - or just plain Somthip Jaemsai - went to Jorm Phra police yesterday evening to register his claim.



He showed his three tickets, that were bought in the local market, to reporters.



He asked police not to reveal his temple's exact location and his address saying that would be dangerous.



He arrived at the police station with his father, relatives and other monks.



He said he would spend a proportion of his windfall on "making merit".



He plans to go to Bangkok to claim his fortune in the next few days.

Maybe he doesn't want snap.

Anyway, maybe this thread (as it's of no use whatsoever) could be commandeered to be the parallel thread to @rob.doc 's to permit members to post other than "attendance" information in connection with the SF get-together (as it does not appear to be permitted otherwise).

Ok, is there going to be a disco? My shirt could use an airing

We normally "hit the town" once most folk have left the Get-Together. Maybe Coffee will kindly act as our guide.

I've never been guided by coffee hitting the town, more likely Carlsberg

Hopefully you will not be "hitting a few bar owners"!

[Hopefully there'll be time to make all your innocuous comments here before the thread is closed.]

As I recall the server inquired, "Are you gentlemen into dudes or ladies this time around ?" (555)

I always imagined if I got through my 20's without meeting Lola, I would be safe. 555
