Grunts

Hi, i do not need a ride but i wanted to say how generous an offer this is. It is nice to know there are still good people out there. Thank you for restoring my belief in human nature. 

Hi King Alfred,

Many Bangkok International schools run Summer Camps and many run camps through all the holidays.

It can be a way of actively employing staff during the vacation, introducing new staff to the campus, offering a way for existing staff to earn some more pocket money, or help parents who are busy working themselves.
Anyway, contact schools direct or go to http://www.isat.or.th/ for their websites and contact info.

I am going to help out at Charter IS this summer.

I do it for free so they find it hard to refuse my support.

Good fortune.

Hi All, I am a newcomer to this forum but I have followed the threads for a while now. Driving, or more accurately, poor driving, is something that really gets my goat. However, I believe partial blame lies with the authorities who simply ignore illegal driving practices. If the appropriate authorities were to take a zero-tolerance approach to (all) drivers using phones, overtaking illegally, driving on the wrong side, the wrong way, no lights, etc perhaps things might change. The total disrespect for basic driving law appears to be almost universal. Nothing will change until there is a motivation to change. Another annoying factor is that millions of baht are being spent on new pavement/walkways and roads (Srinakarin) and as soon as they are complete what has been produced is nothing more than a new thoroughfare for motorbikes. Should we be tramping along the road as they seem quite comfortable driving on the sidewalk? And lastly, when I take a taxi and the driver starts on the phone I ask him nicely to stop. If he refuses I take a picture of him and tell him I will send to the traffic police. I get some laughs but mostly they down phone and we both have a safer trip.
