Thaddeus

Photos of the misspellings quickly surfaced on the internet and were widely shared on social media, with some commentators taking offense at the error.

Does anyone find cow pat moo offensive or just funny.

Some people need to seriously get a grip.

Anyway, if I had a half-Thai kid, I'd be asking my wife some pretty serious questions.

I have and I don't see what the big deal is. Sometimes parents are the ones to make something into a problem. My little girl is loved by many including family and neighbors. No problem.

Think you grabbed the wrong end of the stick there.

The member appears to be inferring that both he and his wife are Thai, or neither is.

Both arms wind-milling and lips moving.

This is the fourth consecutive year the country has been given this honor from the prestigious travel magazine.

Considered prestigious where and by who?

There's a clue in the lack of a u.

In what regional Thai dialect is a Westerner (Caucasian) called a flaung?

The posh one where they go to the sharr to bathe and put mootard on their cress sandwiches.

This must be rubbish and the U.N must be trying to tarnish Thailand's reputation. TAT paints a totally different picture, tourism is booming, numbers are up. Thailand is also expecting it's GDP to rise 3.5% on the back of tourism. Thailand will be raised to number 1 after TAT audits, checks the maths of these uneducated foreigners.

...............No, no, the Thai's accept it, but it's someone else's fault according to the OP. Nowt to do with us guv!

I can see you are English.

He may have been English before they put the shackles on him.

(sorry Chooks, just a joke )

Have the UN never heard of Trip Advisor?

Wow. Tripadvisor's credibility just took a nosedive as far as I'm concerned.

Did it have any before?

Any website that requests content from contributors but has a ''you pays, it stays'' policy should not be allowed to fool a blind man on a dead horse.

The core of the issue is latent hostility of the Thais towards the Chinese since they disrespect Thais and treat Thailand like a trash dump.

Yesterday the wife was on the bus from Bkk back here to Jomtien with her 8 year old niece. Chinese couple took their seats and when my wife said something to the bus porter in Thai the Chinese called her a bitch in English. [emoji35]

Chinese aren't the only ones disrespecting Thailand. Even thais have little apparent respect for their environment. Listening to Thais lecture the Chinese about manners is very tiring.

If u don't want them to come, stop offering your country as a tourist destination. If not, put up and shut up.

If you open house to visitors, it is very unbecoming to lecture them. Better not to invite them.

I know a cartoon about that.

Will someone remind them what Chalerm said?

I think the main problem lie in Thai mentality, it is very difficult for them to discuss a problem and compromise. To compromise is the same as not having been able to get what was wanted, it is lost face. Democracy needs politicians who are able to see the big picture and are able to go ways which suits the majority. As long as personal greed and making face rules I can't see democracy as a working tool for the Thai society. The disliked new election system will allow also smaller parties to participate in the government and force all parties to discuss and compromise, practicing democracy. I doubt that Thai politicians are ready for this. Sad but true

Fatfather

True. In Israel, Netanyahu had to ask for a two week extension to try and form a coalition. Trying to get smaller parties to form a coalition here would need a much longer extension.

Like a dozen of them in a restaurant, they would not discuss what they really wanted and was the optimum solution for all, they would just order two of everything and waste half of it.

"Dear Chinese!" Sulapon wrote. "This is an airport. You play cards in the middle of an airport? Have some respect. Don't think you can just do anything! #PleaseShare."

Completely blind racist moron!

He passed the Thainess test with flying colours.

Prime example of a xenophobic educational system.

Sorry Thaddeus, but I disagree with you for a change. I truly believe the average Thai could not give a rat's ass about anyone playing cards in the airport.

This is fairly typical of the many threads that start off with Chinese tourists doing something wrong, and ends up with the Thais getting kicked up the ass for it.

We don't even know if this Sulapon actually exists, but if he/she does it is the reaction of a out and out moron, or a troll who just likes stirring the racial pot.

Not the feelings of the average Thai, at least not the Thai people that I know.

Please allow me to make a small correction then.

He is typical of the vacuous and vocal.

Empty vessels etc.

Next headline......

''Senior Doctor advises people to walk around holes''

And finally for the record yet again, I have NO support RED or YELLOW for those that use violence on innocent protesters and volunteers to achieve their political will.

No, of course you don't dear.

Sombat Thamrongthanyawong, yesterday called the kind of government that would eventually be formed from the new draft constitution "imbalanced", "weak", "unstable" and "disconnected from the people"

Now how is that any different from the governments Thailand has had for the last 25 years.

The spelling has improved, that's about it really, apart from the surnames getting longer.

You don't demolish bridges, you burn them.

Regain it's lead? That would mean at some stage Thailand was indeed the region's economic leader. When?

Yes indeed between year 2001-2006. Our reserve double, stock exchange outperformed regional, budget balance and fiscal surplus achieved, income inequality was the narrowest and debt to GDP declined from 51% to 40%. Thaksin was the PM then.

Thailand did well during that period despite that, not because of that.

Proving yet again that common sense is not that common.

Lecturing is the most efficient way to get information out, it also can be the least effective. Balancing your teaching style to combine, task based learning with lecture and rote memorization is probably the most effective.

For subjects that are fact orientated it is, history, geography ect.

For most other subjects discovery and how to discover is way way better.

A friend once asked me to find out how well his daughter was doing in maths (she was 9 years old at the time)

I wrote on a piece of paper 15 x 9 = ?

She just stared at it in a state of confusion.

I made it easier 15 x 10 = ?

No change..

I asked her why she couldn't answer that, she showed me the 25 times table that they had been given to memorise and said they hadn't got that far in maths class yet.

Who is to blame for the child not knowing how to multiply by ten by just sticking a zero on the end, the child or the teacher?

Had the teacher actually managed to work that one out anyway? and what sort of hissy fit would they throw when they were told (it was a large one btw)

Students have to be involved in class not just lectured to, and I see this article as a desperately needed breath of fresh air in a stale room.

Tarit, seeing his wealth and face disappear, shame heaped upon his wife and children. I wonder Mr Tarit, was it really worth doing the devil's bidding? Did you really not see that it was always going to end in tears?

Greed blinds.

Being raised in a system were short-sightedness is encouraged it is endemic.

Hang on a minute......

What's this, a quiz ?

It's multiple choice, very popular in schools and driving test centres here, I believe.

It's only missing #4, All of the above.

And of course #5 Don't know (which is never admitted)
