  1. I have complained earlier here at this forum about the bad state the amusement parks have in Thailand, and this news is so sad to read. Children getting hurt! My children where asked a couple of years ago to join their school for an trip to the Siam Park, I refused to let them join and got soure comments from the other childrens parent for that.

    I can only say, for other parent to not let your kids ride hazardous fun park rides, they are just not up to safe standards.

    The safest time to go on one of these rides is after an accident like this... :o

  2. :D When will thry realize that in those tourist areas theywould make more money if they would change laws back to opening bars till 6am and it would help the whole country out!! What is the theory in closing? If they let one city stay open all hours like say Pattaya then eveyone would know where they could go. :D 24/7

    :o

    hey everybody! sober up and smell the coffee!

  3. How much is the pay?

    FOREIGN TEACHERS: Thousands to be recruited

    Published on May 23, 2005

    10,000 native speakers needed to boost primary level English-language skills

    The Education Ministry is to recruit 10,000 native English speakers to teach primary school students at government schools nationwide.

    Advertisements will be posted on the ministry’s website, with Thai embassies assisting in selecting candidates. Applicants must at least hold a bachelor’s degree.

    “We offer a one-year contract and free accommodation,” Education Minister Adisai Bodharamik said yesterday. The expatriate teachers would be sent to upcountry schools, he said.

    They would mainly be sent to primary schools with less than 200 students, he added.

    “During their one-year contract, we will rotate [them] to new schools four times so that they will see new things every few months and won’t get bored while staying here,” he said. He also believed that students would pay fresh attention to their class when new teachers arrive.

    Adisai said Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra agreed in principle with the plan to employ native English speakers because it would help boost students’ command of English. So far, he said budget for the plan had not yet been finalised.

    The education minister was speaking after he visited a school in Hanoi.

    During his trip to Vietnam, Adisai met with his Vietnamese counterpart, Nguyen Minh Hien. The Vietnamese minister promised to support his plan to convene meetings of Asean education ministers a few times each year. The meetings would aim to promote educational co-operation among countries in the region.

    Thailand has offered to host the first meeting.

    Adisai added that Vietnam government had expressed interest in educational services provided at various Thailand-based institutions such as Ramkhamhaeng University, Chulalongkorn University and Kasetsart University.

    He planned to invite his Vietnamese counterpart to visit Thailand in the near future.

    Vietnam’s vice education minister Tran Van Nhung expressed confidence that Thailand and Vietnam would be able to learn from each other’s educational system and drew out the best management plan for their own country.

    Asked about Vietnamese students’ talents in science, he said the tip was to have great teachers.
