    And it is ok to have dual pricing? Tell me anyone why this is not discriminatory.. What is so ridiculous is that Thailand wants tourism , yet they discriminate. re: prices. between Thai natives and foreigners. Who in their right mind would travel to a country where they show prejudice? Sorry- not me.

     

    why? because we live in socialism, and social policies, where you pay taxes, and you shouldn't provide for outsider that dont contribute same or free prices.

    go to Europe where medical services are for free. you still need to pay, because you are not from there,

    thai pay taxes and they deserve to have other price

    Been living in CM for years smog is always an issue and so many people comment about how it's it's better in some other country well go to that country if it's so much better than CM. One could comment further on issues with those other cities in other countries but what's the point I don't live and never will.

    Learn to live with the smog in whatever way you have to but  stop complaining about it, as one of the old saying goes " if you don't like the food in the restaurant then don't eat there "

     

     

     

    i believe that NZ is clean but definition of smog is

    Quote

    Smog is a type of air pollutant. The word "smog" was coined in the early 20th century as a portmanteau of the words smoke and fog to refer to smoky fog, its opacity, and odour.[1] The word was then intended to refer to what was sometimes known as pea soup fog, a familiar and serious problem in London from the 19th century to the mid 20th century.

     

     

  3. Yes, please get in contact with foreigners from similar background on RG and than try those universities,

    There is big myth circling around internet forums about CMX, but please also consult with other elder stuff, who are more than 60, and still work without problem in "air polluted" area, if they approve new programs to come back, please don't hesitate to apply for humanities, actually I think one foreigner work at department or division on tourism, one on philosophy and many more at languages departments, they recently get shortage of workers, becuase one employee didnt got a visa, he finsihed BCS and MA in english and literatre in UK, and than TESOL, but he cannot get visa because he hold Bangladesh pasport, it is part time possition and salary is 24 000 THB, but I think you should go for full time. TRY anyway, dont be scared of pollution, consult before with others workers of your age,

  4. I think you should try low-grade universities in Bangkok, Mahidol is top tier, and you need connection, 

    one American with PhD in education, works for some Christan Thai something-something university, uni is accredited and legitimate, only not top tier.

    It is nice to dream big but sometime we should adjust our expectations,

    tomorrow is big meeting at cmu to return some programs that are cancelled, in area of humanities, bcs they closed them since new law got in effect and they just couldnt renew a programs since they didnt have stuff, litterally they will employ any with degree PhD in humanities, but of course this is not top tier as Chula, Mahid, KMUTT, Thamal,

    conect with americans and others nations from your field on RG, you can find them, they can help you a lot in finding and recommendation for job search, also academics stackexchange website

    What is "RG"? 

     

    Unfortunately my PhD is in philosophy, so nothing useful! I'd be relying on the undergraduate degree (Politics/Social Sciences) and the Master of Education degree for a job, I think. 

    it is sad that you don't know,

    Can you take a look English department, and sociology/political science? and let me know? since they have a lot of international programs there.

    Unemployment? There is a severe labour shortage in almost every business and industry, has always been in all the 25 years i have been in Bangkok, exception was for 2 years during asian financial meltdown in 1997. Without the imported labour from Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Phillipines etc there will be serious problems. Even with violence, coup, flooding, bombing etc nothing seems to ever affect tourism and exports. It is very bitter and sad for the thai bashers to accept, but it is the reality.

    Amen, I know that most thai ppl dont want to work some jobs, if there wasnt myarmanr, laos and other ppl, some profession would extinct in thaiand

  7. yes @EnlightenedAtheist Chiang Mai is even worst since I follow statistic of one of the biggest university in North, they see a decline over last decade in students enrolling at all levels, they try to stimulate more ppl but it is hopeless because there are not so much children!!!

    My  MooBan is half empty, 

    there is no Population growth in my opinion,

    of course if you refer to foreigners coming to Thailand as tourists, than yes

    It is difficult to know how accurate the information is. Anything coming from this government, I am skeptical of. They are not exactly purveyors of the truth. And how do you measure the rural aspect of this equation? What boggles my mind, is how the thai baht is so strong at the moment. Anyone have a clue as to what that is all about? Is it about cash inflows? Emerging market investments?

    Yes, it is hard to understand because we want to think trough prism of our western ( neoliberal and liberal ) economies.

    Thailand integrated after 1997 crisis, Protectionistic system, something like Trump or Bernie would like to do in USA, if you are American or what EU do for Russia and China.

  9. Yes you can google it, you will see clear trend of declining population and childbirth, 1.51 births per woman (2014)
