My ex Thai Girlfriend was an English Teacher in a Government School, she invited me to sit in & listen to her Teach English..
1; Her English is not good enough to be teaching it
2; Most of the kids aged 9 to 12 Years old spent the whole lesson playing with their Telephones,... Telephones at 9 years of age !!
I was told by another Teacher, they cannot see themselves every leaving Thailand so why should they learn English
I had problem with a Thai neighbour, he called the police to try settle the matter, my Thai wife asked for a Translator to translate what the Police were talking about, he said he was a Lawyer, & that i should forget about going to Court over this matter because being a Farang you will never win...I replied how does it feel to be a Lawyer in such a Corrupt country.....No answer was his reply
Problem is,.. the Police Farce being Thai they drive the same as the rest of these idiots, My Thai brother inlaw a Policman, listens to me complaining about traffic laws, and accidents, & cant understand why...So, no hope...
