Laughing Gravy

cool - they'll be able to re-use all of the campaign literature & stuff they had from last time.

What was it - September 1999 ?

I remember the police stopping almost every car on Chaengwattana Rd at certain times & breathalising them. Then suddenly - it all stopped & back to normal.

I hope it lasts this time...

Thats another absoultely outrageous funny thing from Taskin. It is another chance for the already corrupt Police force to get another little earner on the side. Until the population demand that corruption is stamped out and take action, anything the Police do is for the Police and not the benefit of the people. Taskin knows this as he was once on of them and it could be said still is.

Thailand and it's police force are a laughing stock and are the mafia in regulation uniform. What about Song Kran more people die then but who gives a flying F***.

It is sad really that it seems like another policy will wipe out something in 30 days. :

Taskin is funnier than Tommy Cooper

Gotta be Bangkok Pattana.  My mate has just secured a job there and will be starting in January.  Well done !

You have to look at the past exam IBGCE results, the waiting list to get in and as a teacher I would say the salary they pay the staff.

Ask the school on its retention of teachers.

As someone who works in an International School and I have to say is not one of the top ones, I do get to meet all the other staff and parents from the best schools.

It would have to be Pattana, Harrow, Shrewsbury. I can't say in what order but they are the most prestigious.

The reason people send their kids to an international school is for English speaking, western teaching practices and hopefully as limited Thai education practices as possible.

Even the best schools here can not compete with the good schools in the west. The students get special treatment for universities as they are overseas candidates, regardless if they are farang or not.

My advice to the original poster is evaluate your priorities. If your child is going to be educated here for their entire school life, then the number one school isn't required. if you plan to take them back to the west then they will struggle to catch up.

Good Luck

Thailand is a constitutional monarchy. You just can't complain about either as you will end up in the river or in Jail.

To the original poster, remember this. Thailand has a lot to offer, it is not Nirvana, but it still is a third world country. It has many human rights violations and is very different from the western culture.

You just cannot complain here and excpect a civilaised response. Complaining here isnt accepted or appreciated.

As a friend once said to me "look at the bigger picture".

If what really bothers you is worth leaving, then go, if not just put it down to the fact that Thia culture is different and will take generations to change. No it isn't right all the time but we are guests here in this country.
