  1. Thais have eyes bigger than their wallets, and need to show off their "wealth" .
  2. I have helped teach English (volunteer) for close to 20 years in many many Thai government schools in Udon Thani Province and have NEVER witnessed any sort of physical punishment to a students by a teacher. I would have intervened and contacted the school director immediately if that happened.
  3. Koh Larn is not worth the trip anymore. It used to be a very nice quaint place in the 70's like most other nice touristy places in Thailand. Most have now been totally over run and destroyed by tons of tourists and less than friendly locals.
  4. So very sad. Meth is out of control in Thailand as in most other countries.
  5. Facebook is a useless gossip platform that provides no redeeming value. Ban it now!
  6. No common sense at all. This is what happens when parents do not manage their children correctly. The Line app as well as all other similar apps should be age restricted.
  7. This same nonsense has been stated many times in the past. I'll believe it if/when it happens.
  8. No DL, and I'm sure no helmet. The mother needs to be held responsible for lack of parenting.
  9. Plagiarism in Thailand? Come on get real. Just like no prostitution in Pattaya 555. I recall speaking with a former student of mine who told me flat out she bought a research paper because she had no time to do the work herself.
  10. Welcome to Third World Thailand which will never progress further. Sad but true.????
  11. This guy is a teacher????? He needs to be prosecuted for sexual abuse & rape as an underage person does not have the ability to permit sex with an adult especially one who is in a position of authority. Disgusting !!
  12. I would be willing to bet that most of those in debt are government employees who have big eyes and small wallets. They borrow against their future government pensions, life insurance etc etc just to "show off" their supposed wealth. This is not second hand information as most of my in laws are supposed "teachers" who are deeply in debt. No common sense at all !
  13. Safety is not a part of the majority of Thais. Always the easy way and not the correct way.
  14. I suspect it will work here in Thailand as the different plastics can be sorted by low cost labor and then be recycled into new containers or whatever. The problem in the US and other western countries is the lack of cheap labor to sort the different plastics etc.
  15. As usual a bit late now the "genie" is out of the bottle.
  16. It used to be a really nice place many years ago (70's). Simple bungalows and lovely people.
  17. The US just loves to stick it's big nose into other countries business. One can only guess just how much "back door" support is being funneled into the Thai government.
  18. If the footwear got jammed then the escalator is incorrectly adjusted. The "combs" are set wrong leaving a gap between the steps and the combs. Just so typical slipshod work. The "combs" or the steps are incorrectly adjusted. It has absolutely nothing to do with stepping off the escalator.
  19. Please name 1 country who elects their PM/Pres directly. I personally know of none so what's the big uproar about?
