  1. Maybe they can start a Thai jungle foraging website now that they have one confirmed “avoid” delicacy.
  2. With so much interest in revealing and prosecuting Chinese “investors” of late I wonder who in power feels that they have not been getting their share of the action. Lots of Chinese in Bangkok ducking for cover the last two months.
  3. Exactly how is this making it safer to fly? Has there been a uptick in bombs smuggled in women’s mascara containers?
  4. You are right of course. I looked up the glide angle tables for that specific model and assumed no major weather/wind and the glide angle is approximately 45 degrees almost regardless of altitude.
  5. I am not a pilot so no judgement here. I thought these small propeller driven planes had a large amount of glide factor. Such that they could at least make a horizontal landing. This plane is going down at 90 degrees. Now I will have to find some other myth to console myself when flying in small aircraft.
  6. It’s a step in the right direction. However, as with all things like this in Thailand there will be no follow up or enforcement and it will end up as one more useless set of laws that sit in an ever expanding book of unenforced laws. A pity, some worthwhile ideas here.
  7. I am going to take a wild guess … the people whose emotions are “stirred” are fat people. Is it possible then that being fat encourages healthy eating habits. What nonsense.
  8. Have you considered asking her? Maybe even telling her how this makes you feel?
  9. Sure blame the survey. If you don’t like the results you see then deflect the blame back on to the survey methodology. Couldn’t possibly be the antiquated education methodologies, and years of under investment in education to blame.
  10. This must be a crushing disappointment for the government. After these years of committees and inaction they still have seven slots to climb to get to the top position. Hopefully they can shake off the disappointment and get back to doing even less than before. Surely with a bit of luck, the right weather conditions and the usual ruthless efficiency of the government that coveted #1 spot can be theirs next year.
  11. Disappointed in the reactions here. Perhaps humorous for you but consider how the family feels when you post.
  12. It’s about time. One step at a time I guess. All they need to do now is fix the curriculum and hire all new teachers actually educate the kids.
  13. How about showing just a tiny bit of journalistic professionalism and a touch of curiosity. It’s an obvious question … why after a seven year ban would smoking rooms be reintroduced? What circumstances led to this being considered again? I don’t expect a real answer to this question, that is just too much to imagine. Just a bit of effort to shake off the reporters laziness better understand the situation
