Rayong company sends new employees packing with a one-day notice
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Eastern Thailand News
The US is facing a labor shortage! There are 4.7 million more job positions are available than people to fill them in the United States, and about 1.7 open jobs exist per unemployed worker.

Thai students rank below average in global education survey
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Looking at 32,018 Higher Education Institutions from all over the world and ranked by countries (July 2023 edition): https://www.webometrics.info/en/distribution_by_country COUNTRY TOP 100 101-500 501-1000 1001-5000 5001-10000 TOTAL Thailand 0 2 5 31 63 192 The English-speaking world comprises the 88 countries and territories where English is either an official, administrative, or cultural language. Thailand compared to several English-speaking countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-speaking_world#Countries_where_English_is_an_official_language USA 53 97 89 536 1569 3180 United Kingdom 8 36 33 63 51 337 Australia 6 17 12 7 19 187 Singapore 2 0 2 5 14 45 South Africa 0 4 4 15 4 124 Overall I rank Thailand at about mid-point, but only because there are so many poorer English speaking countries than Thailand. So still not desirable, especially in terms of international relations. Surprising to me is that The Philippines would rank far below Thailand, but both have about the same annual GDP (2022). https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/thailand/philippines -
Thai students rank below average in global education survey
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
And/or is it that Thai people have no control over a progressive government they want? Prayut's military coup, followed by 10 years as PM, then PTP abandons the elected majority MFP to essentially follow in Prayut's foot steps. -
PM Affirms Ongoing Works to Free Thai Hostages

Do a political give and take. For quick Thai hostage release, offer Hamas/PLO an embassy in Thailand. Gives them international creditability, like with North Korea. -
Why are fewer Chinese tourists visiting Thailand?

Why fewer? It's simple math. "fewer" means "less" that is defined mathematically as a lower number. -

Young doctor, known online for his fight against cancer, dies

Smoke in the lungs does NOT cause cancer from which the doctor died. Stay focused please. -
Why are fewer Chinese tourists visiting Thailand?
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Refocus on national with the highest GDP. No 1 USA. Other successful nations are in Europe, India, Australia, UK, Saudi Arabia. What is TAT doing to increase tourist traffic from the nations that don't have the same tourist profile of Chinese? Thailand needs to flaunt its sovereignty to attract nonChinese tourists whose profiles do not match the Chinese herd mentality constrained by communist mentality. -
Govt to Empower Governors with CEO-like Authority
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If not accountable to the electorate (voters), it's not a democracy and more what a Board of Directors are to customers. Corporations are not democratic institutions. What the government has done by analogy is a General (PM) has inserted colonels between him and rank and file soldiers. Soldiers don't get a vote directly or indirectly. But you are somewhat right in that this action is a fairy. -

Young doctor, known online for his fight against cancer, dies
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I talked to a couple of oncolongists about probable cause of death related to this young doctor. It's likely the lung cancer (cause unknown but definitely not from Thailand air pollution) spread by blood to the brain. Significant surgery and/or radiation in the brain is not advised. -

Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
"despite exercising regularly, to raise public awareness of the disease." What does exercising have to do with treating cancer as this statement seems to imply? Types of Treatment Surgery. An operation where doctors cut out cancer tissue. Chemotherapy. Using special medicines to shrink or kill the cancer. ... Radiation therapy. Using high-energy rays (similar to X-rays) to kill the cancer. Targeted therapy. Using drugs to block the growth and spread of cancer cells. https://www.cdc.gov › basic_info Must be more the this story than air pollution. -
PM Srettha will make a 5-day trip to Japan next week
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Like in Britain and Scandinavian countries, the Japanese monarch does not have a political function. The Emperor must have the advice and approval of the cabinet." Since Japan became a democracy after WW2, there have been always peaceful transfer of power via elections. No military coups. Srettha might think how Japanese democracy and its constitution might apply to Thailand. -
Bus accident in Prachuap Khiri Khan: 14 dead, 35 injured
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
"Authorities are working to determine the factors leading to incident and will proceed in accordance with the law." Looking at "Safety Issues of Bus Transport in Thailand - A Lesson Learnt From an In-Depth Accident Investigation," by Lamduan Srisakda 2010 https://ph01.tci-thaijo.org Conclusion in part: "Several concerns on the integrity of bus structures, seats, and passenger restraints, precautions in case of bus fire, bus brake system and its maintenance standards and cares need to be addressed urgently." (my bold) In 2022 about 30 people not including insurgents were killed in Thailand's Deep South related to the Malay Muslim insurgency or about an average of 2.5 per month. Do you think double deck tour bus deaths in Thailand has as much government priority than the insurgency? Just compare the decades State of Emergency and military budgets for the insurgency to the government transportation for bus safety and you'll see what lives matter. -
Despite Washington’s confidence, US war with Iran would be disastrous
Srikcir replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
Like Russia's miscalculation of Ukraine's military strength? Iran military is nowhere near Russia's military strength which is being beaten down by Ukraine using largely surplus NATO/US military supplies. Does Iran really want to escalate to the extent of direct US military confrontation? -

Republican George Santos expelled from Congress in bipartisan vote

"Republican George Santos expelled from Congress in bipartisan vote" But not by 2/3's House Republicans. Majority power trumps guilt. -
Republican George Santos expelled from Congress in bipartisan vote
Srikcir replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
You mean like Republicans wanting to impeach POTUS Biden without any evidence or criminal conviction? Congress is a political organization and not a prosecution or judicial organization. Two-thirds of the House and of the Senate has poliyical power to excel members.
