  1. May I ask if you are on the juice (steroids).... no judgement
  2. No you are speaking BS. The top % of the class in the final year are offered the opportunity to do Medicine or Dentistry via the governments 'quota' system. These students who have the absolute highest GPA in the class have to decide which career they want. They have to sit an entrance exam to actually get into either discipline. The exam for Med and Dentistry is always held on the same day so it forces them to only choose one. If accepted they have to sign contracts with the govt to work in the thai govt hospital system for x amount of years. If they break contract they have to pay 2 million baht. This is the system thats been in place for many yrs. The students who dont cut the grade (as above) can go to a private uni to study dentistry, for example, and its all high fees. So basically kids from wealthy families can still have their kids be a dentist.... But theres no opportunity for them to work in the govt hospital system. They get their training in the private clinics where they work....
  3. I like you way with words 'pick your pain' and 'taxation without representation'.
  4. But what you dont understand is that all students who want to study these disciplines have to be at the top of the class in Maths and Science in order to be accepted into the medical field. This is 100% factual and the reason why parents push the maths...
  5. It sounds like you're a teacher but maybe not a parent? Im both actually. I have to either 1. stay married and accept the situation and let her do whatever she wants with my child or 2. divorce and move out and let her do whatever she wants.
  6. Ive been married near 10 yrs. We have a child under 10 who's in one of the competitive Maths programs at a govt' primary school. I cannot believe how much homework and tests that my child has to endure. Its causing a lot of tension because I dont like seeing my kid getting woken up by my pushy wife at 530am and going to bed a 940pm tonight. So many hours of homework and questions to do from basically 5pm to 930pm tonight. Both of them are stressed by this stage of the night and I feel sorry for my child actually. I dont know if I can cope with years of this BS to come. If we divorce I worry about leaving my child alone with my wife who doesnt seem to care about the fact that a child that age needs 9 to 10 hours sleep. Im the one cooking healthy meals and if I go away my child lives off grab deliveries. My wife will not listen to me at all about these matters. I feel lonely in this marriage. My wife only cares about my childs success at school. The only thing that would save our marriage and sanity, in general, is if my child moves out of the program into a normal class. But cant see the wife allowing this. In summary, my wife is so caught up in her ambition for my child to succeed and be n.o 1 that she fails to see that its stressing everyone out and will probably be detrimental to our marriage that she doesnt seem to care about. If we finish we have to sell assets etc. Its would all be quite difficult. I would not know what to do with myself. Wondering if I should leave Thailand. I feel they both dont value my presence in this family anyway.
  7. 1. Can you recommend a good Podiatrist? 2. Where can I eat Oysters? Yes, Im another quality tourist that will be visiting Pattaya next week thanks
  8. Time has rolled on and the SOLANA <deleted> coin is down to 8.8 billion. Glad I didnt buy any
  9. I hate this breed of dog. We recently stayed at a dog friendly hotel and a guy had one by the pool and then took it to the restaurant. We changed tables when they sat next to us. Its the satin dog..
  10. good work. must have been stressful
  11. Next time ask them for the name of the antibiotics and tell them you will buy them outside. That will probably reduce the bill by 7000
