We will know after This Year's Songkran Festival. Won't we? Another bloodbath coming up!!!

It is important that the people know WHO their Master is. Saying more than this may be dangerous to my health. End of Story.

I can just imagine how the armies of the other SEA countries would react after reading this thread. Sorry. Have to stop here because further comments may be harmful to my health and sanity.

Premature e jac ulatio n?

After flirting the the Chinese... this is going to be an uphill battle.

Lipstick on a pig comes to mind.

I exercise my right to self-censorship. Posting my personal view regarding this topic may be bad for my health. I guess that sums it all up - really....

Sick!

You don't Understaaaand! This is like Pla Raa (fermented fish) but using Ratus ratus norvegicus.

She should go to Singapore and say that she is too ill to go to court. That worked for someone...

And then I think of the investigation into the Park with those statues, the drafting of the new constitution, the investigations into the microphone system at the government office, the plan to purchase submarines and then I...

I am surprised they did not do an alcohol breath test on the 3 offending cops. Oh! I forgot, the motor cycle patrol cops let them go away and did not detain them. Hmmm makes sense to me.

You don't understand. Those policemen were teaching these students a lesson. The students must be thankful to those three teachers.

I am pretty sure a few years of pretending to be too sick will solve the problem and avoid a court appearance. After all, this is how cases involving the Amart kids are expected to end up. Really sorry for those two hapless University Students. I wonder if inviting those Hong Kong experts are going to discover a case of sudden unintended acceleration of the vehicle. Perhaps it was caused by a very heavy right foot on the gas pedal?

In the mean time, 17 provinces were declared as critically affected areas by the drought (22 March in a major Thai News network - Thai PBS).

Bravo! I applaud this student-mom.

Really?

I rely on Chiang Rai Kruang Yen (along Phahol Yothin Rd). near Sip Paet (18) Mituna Road. They repair refrigerators, freezers, air-conditioners. They do house calls as well. Decent service - not outrageous price.

Please stop! I can't take it anymore.

See that rotten core. Clearly the work of that insidious and silent Mr. T!

Okey! TERMITES. Got it? TERMITES...

This APP does sound quite threatening to the Native English Speaker who wants to have earn a living in Thailand teaching English and expecting to be well paid for it. Well, you have to admit that there is indeed a danger in Technology taking over your job. Of course an APP does not have the kind of inter-activeness a NES would be able to provide. One advantage with the APP however, it that it will probably not molest your kids. It also doesn't possess fake credentials.

Leave everything to the Thais, you mean? Seems reasonable. Plenty of Thai paedophiles out there; and never a shortage of Thais buying their qualifications.

Please don't put words into my mouth.

Ooh, you have got a bit of a bee in your bonnet about NES teachers haven't you! We're not all disciples of Garry Glitter you know!

I don't think this app will replace the human teacher. Rather think of it like an interactive dictionary or phrasebook. It could be a useful tool for learning/studying the language.

Whatever floats your boat. I already rely quite extensively on an online translation service that is quite spot on. Yes, I do read Thai and use the app to write in Thai - something I still have to learn. But is it just too daunting for me hunting and pecking at those Thai Characters on the key board. Bee in the Bonnet? Hardly. I don't give a rat's ass about NES. Just saying it like it is.

Kind of like what the Chinese Government is doing right now to prop up their dwindling economy. Throw money at the problem and with a more auspicious position of Uranus, hope the problems will fade away.

He probably has small hands.

On another note, flashing cash and flashy cars proves nothing. People have been murdered for much less - such as hurting his feelings or causing him to loose face.
