Most of my students seem not to like the masks. I love the masks though, and always tell my students to wear them if I see their faces without. I will certainly keep wearing face masks in the years to come. I don't care what anyone thinks about it.

I know how crowded it can be. There are even direct international flights from Narathiwat Airport for Hajj. The only time of the year when aircraft fly anywhere else but Bangkok.

Absolutely. But how? I live in Narathiwat and people have given up hope long ago. After all these years, you learn to live with the violence.

If you look up my posts, you can find exactly where I said so. *proud*

You all know I called this out. Now give me the respect I deserve. These extensions will continue until the emergency decree ends. Mark my words.

I wish I could. But I can't add anything useful.

I know people in the top of society. Yes, all the way to the VERY top. They've assured me the extensions will be extended after May. If there's no one you can believe, then at least believe me.

The emergency decree is still in force. The General will keep it like that until the elections next year. Maybe by then they will also abolish the Covid extensions. Trust me. I know what I'm talking about.

Yes, and the extensions are expected to continue until further notice, probably at least until the end of the year.

-The driver must be the legal owner of the car. -The car has to be paid off completely. -The windshield cannot have a film of more than 40%. -The car must have Malaysian-style black stickers (with white characters) with the Thai license plate letters translated into Rumi (Latin) script. -Your local DLT office must provide you with an English sheet/leaflet of ownership. -Once having crossed the border, you must get a Malaysian car insurance policy asap. Either for one day or a whole year. These are the requirements on top of my head.

Changeing the Thai education system would take much more than two years. It's unrealistic to expect that to happen in a short "recess", which it really wasn't. I am saddened by the continuous negative comments about education and teachers in particular. The teachers have to do their jobs as they were taught themselves. To blame them for the system flaws is pointless.

This thread is amusing, the OP seems to be a condescending *#@& and my years in this country have taught me no school would wanna hire someone like that anyway. Just my 2 cents.

As a teacher myself I am really happy to go back to in-person teaching. Yes, I got paid in full every month, but I'll gladly resume my normal teaching duties for more normality.

This particular school was on temple grounds. The monks must have wanted to make a point.

Here in Narathiwat everyone and their granny sells krathom from pick-up trucks on the main roads. I've never seen a police car anywhere close.

If I were you, I would wait another year until the weather improves.

He looks like he had a good time as a handsome top breeding twinky bottoms. Mmmm...

As western farangs we can afford it. For me it's no biggie and I won't drink a glass less because of it.

Guilty until proven innocent, huh? I guess you don't know many Muslims, otherwise you wouldn't spout your islamophobic <deleted>.

The insurgents are basically all Thai citizens, though some hold dual nationality. Lately there has been an influx of Arabs though, many of whom are there to propagate the "dawah" movement.

It's all in one's mind. The first time I went to Yala I thought it was really dangerous and scary, but I quickly learned that not all is what it seems.

I live in the South myself and can confidently say the people, including the conservative Muslims, are some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet.

And so it ends. Don't say I didn't warn you, Captain.

Even Filipinos, Bhutanese and other low-wage NNES Asians need to sit the exams.
