I wonder who thought up this scheme ????

My personal savings probably should be higher, but I prefer spending money on nice things and holidays etc now whilst I am still young. I have an international teachers pension in the UK and also pay voluntary NI contributions too.

My salary is exactly the same as I am still working full time. 

Seeing as Chaeng Watthana and most other Thai government offices haven't even brought in the idea of staggered lunch breaks (most of the places fully shut for one hour) then there is no way something like this is plausible. Another Prayut idea with little thought or planning as to how it would be implemented. 

Expensive, but it is a fantastic school and definitely the best British curriculum international school in Bangkok. 

They are one of the largest international schools with well over 2000 students so it is clear that there are a lot of parents happy to pay those high fees. The people who are benefiting the most are the staff that work there and will be given free education for their children. 

It will never happen. 

Absolutely impossible to control. 

The contract should stipulate any extreme circumstances / force majeure payments. However, being a government school I doubt these things are factored in to a contract. 

No you don't need a job offer. You can just go and apply. 

Those new buildings due to open in the next year or so could become redundant. The big project near Queen S MRT and the one not far away from Asoke on Phetchaburi MRT should definitely be worried.  

They continually mention the 'second wave'. There has not been a real first wave, and as history has shown in pandemics, a second wave would come much further into the future.

It seems like the CCSA are talking about a wave that lasts a month or two before moving onto a new wave which is completely and utterly wrong. 

Truly scandalous how much this company is funded / rescued by tax payers.

One day there will be a real exposé on THAI and how it has been ran. 

If the group wants to seek the truth, they can find it from evidence in legal cases, some of which have already seen verdicts

????

Yes, all those legal cases that have been fairly dealt with by the Thai courts.

We're now hearing that malls might not open til June. Hopefully that's not true! 

Where was that mentioned?

I imagine it will be another 'jobs for the boys' appointment.

An interesting definition of desperation.

 

There are families in my village who are desperate to feed their children.

 

Mainly day labourers, don't qualify for assistance.

Of course, that is the unfairness of life.

There are millions of poor people all over the world. I don't live in a village in rural Thailand so that rightly or wrongly doesn't impact my day to day life at all. 

Another 'order'. These droughts and floods happen each year and there has not been one plan issued by these guys about trying to fix them. 

I hope so. Desperate to get to ikea (yes I know you can order online but not everything is available on there).
