IF the Norwegian didn't tell the driver he's almost as much to blame as the driver.

Looking at this chart, all the fake “ teachers” saying they are helping need to look in the mirror.   It’s an absolute sh…. show.   Oh, my students are great at English!  Quit lying to yourself and buy a new backpack! 

@BananaStrong I think the low proficiency would be down to the Thai teachers. they still teach the bulk of the English the thai students learn and not the FAKE teachers as you call them.

My personal observation is Thai English teachers have a remarkable understanding of English grammar - much better than most native speakers. Their spoken, unfortunately, is not good at all.

@HappyExpat57 So, Pointless then.  Doesn't really help you if you're English grammar is great but you can't speak a word of it. 

What's up with Thai men anyway? have they all got very weak bladders.    always see them relieving themselves in broad daylight. can't they wait till they get home for gods sake

Anutin opposed it before the meeting but i still haven't actually heard any news to what decision was made at  the meeting.         

Anutin is a right joysponge. same as the people on here moaning that they shouldn't be allowed to stay open till 4am. miserable old gits don't like the idea of people having fun.

Good news for everyone living near a pub/club that has a job and needs sleep.

Those dissapionted at having to go home at 2am instead of 4am could always go out two hours earlier so they are suitably smashed by 2am

@WHansen maybe not live near a pub/club if it bothers you that much, and as far as i know clubs don't usually have accommodation by them.

He's an idiot, for sure, but I'll take everyone in power who will try and stop this 4 am nonsense.

@LALes 4am Nonsense...... what harm will it do you exactly?

And then let all the customers go home in their vehicles way over the limit, no doubt. 

 such is Thai logic.

Thais were wearing face masks before covid.  There is the belief that it will stop you from getting the cold or spreading germs.  They were also worn against the dust and <deleted> i the air when it was high.

 

Thais have gotten comfortable wearing them and feel safer (rightly or wrongly it is how they feel)  It has very little to do with the government.  

Thai parents still have their kids wearing masks because covid is still in the school system.

 

As to people being punished for not wearing a mask that is crazy Thais understand that some people have decided that they do not need the ask and it is their choice.

 

Once covid gets to a point that it is not in the news and is not as prevalent in society then you may see people taking masks off but it will not be for awhile and will probably start with the young people.

 

@kingstonkid  I don't know why posts on here keep this myth going that Thais were wearing masks before.   Nonsense!  a small percentage maybe 5 % were, 10% absolute maximum (and that was only in Bangkok) but not the 99% now.

A crazy Education system is a factor.  As I don't think anywhere else in the world do you have a system were the students get a pass mark no matter what, even if they haven't turned up.  absolutely nuts! way to go about things.

I believe they do this so if the ticket gets stolen and there is a dispute about ownership,  some security is provided.

@cracker1 I actually thought it was part of the terms and conditions of winning it.  isn't that the case?

The list of tourist spots visited is ridiculous. More tourists visit Chachoengsao than Phuket? 

@madmitch  They must be counting domestic tourists, cuz you're right.  i have lived in Chachoengsao the last year and rarely spotted a tourist there. 

After working with Thais for a while,  i know they like to do everything last minute. very annoying. 

They wanna start in schools. all the classrooms have the lights on in broad daylight. enough natural light to see, I don't know what up with Thais, I think a lot of them don't wanna admit they need glasses. too vain.

It seems like all the people who are vaccinated if they do catch it it’s a very mild thing last thing a few days but yet after millions have received the vaccination there’s still people out there who refuse to get the vaccine TIT

@TheFishman1 their body their choice

That's not just a Thai thing. people like doctors get away with things like that all around the world.                  I can think of two doctors who got away with it in portugal????

You got too much money if you can forget 60,000 baht. i wouldnt let it out of my sight (not that id ever have sort of cash on me anyway)

making a statement on this like it happens a lot. more likely to win the lottery

Of course they're scrapping it because you don't have to wear masks anymore, so they can't fine you.    ridiculous statement

What's wrong with people
