Good for you. That's the way it was done when I was attending school.
It says "sausages", that's processed (junk) food. I don't see any vegetables on that plate either.
"a media company that has been suspended from trading and its shares have been delisted from the Stock Exchange of Thailand for about fifteen years." This statement would seem to make the argument a moot point. Time to MOVE FORWARD.
If English interpretation was used, at a shop with this name, Tong Ou, a patron shouldn't be too surprised at what might take place. But then, the couple were Japanese and Chinese, so English interpretation may not apply.
You are the first in this thread to comment on the stick. I certainly agree with you that the stick was the likely trigger. Quite possibly the child "playfully" or even "threateningly or teasingly" motioned harm to the dog with the stick. This story seems somewhat complex and the dog should not have been allowed freedom, particularly at this location.
Your rationale is spot on. A reading of the linked article would be of great value to any person commenting on this topic. ITV is NOT a media company. It's frequency has been cancelled.
I think appropriate punishment would be to lock him up with 6 hungry and angry pit bulls for a day. Then he'll find out what animal cruelty feels like (with him being the animal).
"I feel that he has improved himself" ............ He most certainly has. But improving his bank balance in offshore accounts didn't improve life for the average Thai.
His grasp of English can't possibly hurt. English is the most spoken language in the world. English is the official language of the United Nations, the European Union, WTO and the International Monetary Fund. English is the official language of 67 countries. I see no reason why his grasp of English would lead PITA to make Thailand a client state of America. Speaking fluent English will only help to advance the interests of Thailand on the world stage. His English ability is not "necessary for a Thai prime minister", but it is highly advantageous.
