Thailand has no clout with China, and China couldnt care less anyway. You can raise concerns until you are blue in the face. The reality is most will be paying China for Mekong water one day - and yes, loans will be available.

The atrocities that the military in Myanmar have been getting away with finally draw a complaint from Thailand. 500 B and a Wai. 

I love Koh Chang but I must admit I have not been caught up in ferry queues once. Thinking of going there soon. Anybody know what covid paperwork is required - I have one unvaccinated person in my party. Were there any checks?

Just saw this - good news - apologies if it has already been posted (couldn't see anything). Australia also recognizing Sinopharm.

Nice undercover police work.

What about Sinopharm?

Is it possible that the Chinese have the expertise and experience (Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macau)  to carry out this capital project at a price acceptable to the Thai lawmakers?  I wonder.....   Not too far from the Chinese province of Sihanoukville. Maybe they can link Koh Kut as well.....  The potential is huge.....

Yes, the Chinese could do it. If Thailand doesn't have enough money, they can work out a good deal - pay them back later. No problem. 

Can't wait for the movie!

Good luck to her - trying something different to engage her class. I shudder to think what online learning looks like at most schools. Teachers are increasingly expected to become 'TVesque' screen personalities in these times.

OK, so one-third of the country are clueless? Seems low?

 

 

It was only a survey that was responded to by 1744 people. Most couldn't understand the questions. 

Good luck to them both. I just hope he keeps a number for a tattoo-remover up the other sleeve.  Otherwise it's long sleeves forever.

Foreign teachers are not included in the governments 'planning preparations' !?

Most international schools in Chiang Mai opened on the 1st June. No vacs for teachers or staff.

I assume the son has also been grounded by Mum.

They had paid 3,200 to 3,500 Ringgit (a little over 20,000 baht) to an agent for a journey that included a ride in a long tail boat in Songkhla

Looks like tourism is recovering.

I guess the hotel manager just arrived back from vacation and said '<deleted>'! I just hope they managed to grab the soap and shampoo, and of course a quick raid on the mini-bar before their relocation.

It's not acceptable she has flouted the rules. Let's face it, she is in the spotlight because that's her job. There are thousands more lesser knowns that have probably been equally complacent. Let's just hope....

Sadly this kind of tragic event happens in most countries.

I hope teachers didn't write this English version - got my red pen out already. Good luck kids - this is sure to keep your education up to standard. Just need the internet now.
