MyFriend You

I was hoping for an update on Nong Kim and the others that were injured in the fire, instead I got 'fire n brimstone' negative comments, unecessary bickering and shows of stupidity.............there is a time and place for everything, I just don't think this is neither the time nor place for negativity with so much attrocity concerning tnhios incident........................Peace

Are you a retiree? Do you travel out of the country anytime? Are you a tourist under 50 who wants to stay long time in Thailand?

If you are a retiree who just lives a quiet life in Thailand then I don't suppose it will bother you too much even if the next Thai adult who walks past your house becomes the next PM, he/she will probably have much the same mentality.

Actually a double rertiree, over 70, and will have a quiet life irregardless of who is PM of Thailand.     I just enjoy reading all 'the sky is falling if this happens' preachers on Asean Now.             Peace

DPM Prawit claims Prayut may be able to stay on as Thai PM for 2 more years

In that case god help us all. That is all we need, a continuing Junta in this Banana Republic of Thailand.

I'm trying to think of all the ways this will affect me......have come up with nothing......maybe if I was a business man, or something like that, it might affect me............if it is successful, then it gives him 2 more years to plan the next coup.....................Peace

you want to teach kids while holding a big stick in your hand in an aggressive manner?

 

why not teach with 100 guns strapped to your body (for protection).

 

And we wonder why kids aren't learning.  

 

Thailand's English competency ranked extremely, even worse than Cambodia.

 

Falang teachers failing daily.....................

 

 

No, only based on kingstonkid's scenario above, I assume the 6 kids making all the noise in the back of the class are in a gang, and wouldn't hesitate to assault a teacher, farang or otherwise.   Thats when the stick comes out as a teaching tool to make a point..................as for guns, I don't own one, haven't in almost 20 years and don't see a need for one now..............Nuff Said            Peace

Big difference between your psycho uncle and a teacher or disciplinarian

The problem is that parents no longer teach kids respect anywhere anymore.

 

Let's look at it a different way.  You are trying to teach a group of 35 teens some are paying attention and are interested.  Some don't care

 

6 boys in the back are laughing carrying on and tell you to truck off we don't care.

 

How do you resolve the problem.

 

Oh yeah they are louder than you.

I await your solution.

 

 

My first thought was "send them out of class, with a note to parents, you want your son back in my class teach him some manners first'...........then I thought, it depends on where the school is ....... USA - I'd just call Securirty ...........Thailand, I'd have a big stick in my hand (fdor protection) and the note - give it to them, and step back.  Yep, I'd probably lose my job.   BTW I am not and never have been a School Teacher, but have taught Troops on all corners of the earth, some real badass folks - and learned the hard way, you sytand your ground 99.5% will back down, it's the other half % you have to worry about, like bringing a gun back to school with them.     Peace

The bleeding hearts here that say corporal punishment should be banned are the same ones that let their kids yell and run around restaurant or will try to negotiate with a 5 year old that wants a toy or candy.

You absolutely go off your nut if you saw me or my daughter and son in law

Grandkids want to cry and throw a fit first it is mocking them then it is a slap on the ass.

 

Daughter doing well grandson just graduated and accepted to university in Canada

With 35 students in a classroom you do not have the ye yo play games 

No one is saying YOU can't discipline YOUR child, but NO Teacher or anyone else outside the family has the right to strike any child..............just because the Catholic School Teacher beat our azz with a paddle, pinched our cheeks, pulled our hair, doesn't mean it is right....................my uncle in law made the mistake of smacking my daughter across the face for refusing to get him a beer from our Fridge.  He got a helluva lot more than he gave her - think I broke his arm, maybe a couple of fingers, we didn't see him for two years, and that was to put him in the Psychiatric Ward of the hispital.

No money for the parasites bleating about "save the dogs".  I accept that some people are genuinely concerned but for others it's just cash cow,  as a previous poster pointed out "follow the money" 

My feelings exactly, ever see the vehicles they ride around in, all very expensive Toyota Highlanders, and Misubushi Pajeros.   Here is a read oit of their "Expenses"  It appears they are worth approx $5,000,000.00  accoerding to Charity Navigator.com.

Eating dog... so what.

A bit like the aversion in the UK and elsewhere to horse meat

They have specialized resturants in Belgium dedicated soley to Horse meat, not well adverrtised, but you will see a store with a horsehead over the door, or a picture of one in the window.

If it sounds to good to be true??  It probably isn't.        Peace

...........................and so it begins, another cash cow for the Malaysian's.....................next thing will be - charging them with possession of illegal drugs after testing positive.       Peace

Who goes upcountry and flaunts such wealth??????   I once considered building a 100 million dollar mansion in Nan, but after one second I realized why draw all this attention to myself.

 

Look at me, I'm rich!!!!!   Inside, I have lots of rich things!!!!

 

This is why I live underground off the coast of Pattaya in a submarine.   safe.  for now.  

Does it have an Engine??

Thats so sad that you are afraid to buy in the wifes name ,our house is in Banglamung on the dark side ,in my wife and sons name ,i trust them with everything including my life .

by the way the bank valued our house at 4.7 we got it for 3.5 million ,but had rented for many years ,one in the next street to us is on the market at 6.5 million. by the way its a very good location .

I agree there should be a degree of trust in marraige, but, and there is always a a 'but' sometimes it's not the wife's fault, they can be manipulated by family, especially older children, some fall into gambling w/o the spouces knowledge, loan sharks etc etc etc. - and there are plenty of unscrupulous lawyers around.   I had a long term non-sexual association (5-6 years) with a Massage lady, very legitimate traditional Thai Masseuse, I loaned her 500,000 baht to purchase a home for herself in Bang Saray..........there was no hesitation on my part, as I trusted her.  She still worked in Na Klua and eventually paid me about 50% of the loan, I forgave the rest as a Song Krahn gift.  I visited her a few times at her home in Bang Saray, very nice little 3 bedroom cottage...........not far from the Sea  -  had I been smarter, I would have invested in real estate there 'way back when'.  Think I'll pay her a visit when I get back..................Peace

I will most assuredly be corrected  -  but aren't VPN's actually illegal in Thailand.........I seem to remember an obscure law that prohibits any sort of encryption or masking of data signals.   What company in their right mind wiould allow remote work without a VPN               Peace

Sorry, I am addicted to Durian, and the smell is one of the things that keeps me coming back...............Eaten it in Thailand, Malaysia, Indiocesia, Vietnam., Laos, Cambodia and of all places - Hawaii................????  ????  ????   Peace.

To save money, they used the Pilot of the original crash as the Driver of the flatbed transporting the chopper to repair shop..............or maybe the Army has this problem??    The lack of skilled pilots is now causing chaos at our airports     TIT

Will it also work in Philippines/Vietnam?  I would like a dual SIM with 5G that works in all 3 countries.  It's harder to get 5G support in all 3 than for 4G/LTE.

 

Finding phones that support all the bands I want is the hardest part.  Specs for all the different country variants are not always accurate or easy to find in one place.  

 

I wish there was a website where I could type in the countries I want it to work in and it will come up with all the options and what bands it supports.  Yes, I know there are a few websites that kinda sorta do that but they are not always up to date and accurate so I don't always find them that useful.

Its made in Vietnam, works in Thailand, can';t vouch for PI but assume it will.  My wife traded the A71 for the A73 since it has two sim's
