i don't think he means "the lesbians"

"He said he did not expect the situation to improve even if the authorities arrested everyone living near the dykes."

What a weird statement....................

i think a good place for donations will be the RED CROSS. they should have transparency for their book keeping. I hope.

having been in the airport during the hoarding of these goods i guess all of you a right. too much BU**LSH*T about th epolitics. most of the clothes we helped to pack are now floating down VR road in the crappy water that is there. the wastage of the food is incredible. i helped to unload mote than 100 KG mushrooms, that were left for 2 days before being used. 300 KG frozen meat that was left out for more than 2 DAYS.

try stop the crap flying about whose blame. we all know the people in control are a bunch of useless prats.

why not arrange some transport and someone to get the stuff out of there to distribute it. some of it can still be salvaged for sure.

i helped to unload about 100 diesel engines into the cargo area. water pumps too.

stop your mouths and get some action started please.

Press release

The Learning with smiles.

Due the the impact of the floods we are going to try to open more branches. The flood is affecting so many places and there are so many displaced people.

We are close to having to leave don mueang airport. This will be tough. This has helped to open the aims of the organisation to cover more of the afflicted areas.

I talked with a government official earlier this evening and told him of the plan. He whole heartedly approved. J

We are now looking for both centre coordinators and even more teachers. We will try to open the centres as and when we have adequate people to work each learning centre.

The first number I have, is of the guy who is coordinating the Chaeng Wattana refugee centre. I will contact him tomorrow to try to open the doors for the new centre.

I know of the refugee centre in Bangkok University and the Rajamangala centre on Ramkamhaeng road. Please can you inform us of any more centres that there are, and of the availability of any staff to help us out.

This is tough, (a cliché is coming up) but it for the kids man J

We are currently running a makeshift classroom for some of the children at the don meuang airport flood relief camp.

There are some 2300 people in the terminal building in tents. I am helping to co-ordinate the development and running of the classroom.

We have one classroom at present which is on the 3^rd floor of terminal 2 at don meuang airport. In the old CAT office on the right hand side of the terminal.

We are currently running three classes per day for a small group of kids, and some parents are now becoming interested in learning a bit of English.

There are A LOT of people there, it will get pretty grim down there before not too long as the people start with the frustrations of thinking about their current living conditions and what they have to face when they get home.

Our goal is to give some structure to the children who are there. Now they are meandering around with not much idea of what to do apart from wait for the next meal as they have no way of getting one for themselves. The few kids we have already are eager to sit and to learn. It is brill. J

The feedback is wonderful, a kid with a smile and a bit more knowledge is an amazing combination.

Any help that you could provide for us would be amazing, with any materials, teaching hours, helping with the classroom, decorating the room to look homely for the kids, and colouring in or just smiling.

I have been living in Thailand for 6 years now and teach as Satit Suan Sunandha, in the Dusit area of Bangkok. My girlfriend, Siwaporn Janpuak asked me to go along to help at the airport on Monday. We helped packing and shifting stuff around to help. I have been there each day and on Thursday I started to help the Thailand Response Television Team. They had an idea to set up a few classrooms with some teaching and activities for the children. I am now helping to co-ordinate the running of the classroom with help from volunteers.

Thank you in advance

happy new year

i have a comment that is about as useful as her financial and landowning credibility -

in the first photo, the one with the dark coloured dress - SHE LOOKS LIKE A MAN.

erm, poor road engineering

erm advise people to slow down

OH MY GOD - pass the buck then patronise

...

great stuff, thanks for the generosity

90 - 180 grams or kilograms?

thought by definition a tsunami was a really really big wave

also really lucky that there was a cable car operating there, i didn't know there was a cable car service available in pattaya

He may even take to dousing him with petrol and setting the house on fire,

His friend even had to leap from the blazing building to avoid being roasted.

surely if he is doused with petrol he would be BBQ'd anyway?

14 ringet lmfao

well written doggie, too easy to jump on the blame bandwagon.

bastard

was it aliens?

maybe like the army request for loeads of hardware then the events that took place near the temple.

mmmm? more budget?

saddest story i heard in a long time.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

i have seen so many hi so gimps treating staff like scum. they order them around and expect the class system to support their ignorance.

how much money, who started it. who cares really?

the blokes face looks like he had too much plastic surgery - the 800,000 baht is probably to fix his hook nose.

if it had been non-rich/non - jewellery shop owner/non - (gay looking) models no one would have ever known about it.

so, what do the trees get?

everything is a thai invention. cars were invented in thai land, come to think of it - the wheel was invented in thailand. the pocket watch (for all those thai time keepers), water was invented here along with glasses to drink it out of and plastic bags in which to sell it.

rain was invented by someone special, potatoes are native to this country, it was some pesky european that told us they came from american soil.

can anyone list anything that was NOT invented in thailand?

surprised it's not a chocolate starfish

how much will go to the pockets of the already rich education ministers?

i must add that i taught a university seminar a couple of weeks ago, it was very very hard
