A business degree is becoming more important than enlightenment for a Buddhist in Thailand.

This is terrible. I would hope the government realizes how terrible, and a proper investigation is made on living conditions and evacuation procedures.

Depends on the school, creating bad karma, may come back to haunt you.

Be nice not to make the drive from Hua Hin to Bangkok

Once the fire gets into the peat can be a very difficult and costly fire to put out. If the proper systems aren't followed will pop up every dry spell

I think all that can be said is not unusual.

My extension takes an hour and the little lady is working the whole time. The only way it could be shorter is not to do some of the stuff that is required.

To say a site can not be rehabilitated is a statement of ignorance. It is a matter of time and money. Getting the right expertise to advise of the proper methology is what is important.

First what are your goals. Sites go through a variety of steps to reach different levels in the ecosystem. It may go from desert to grassland to forest. Takes time and investment and

a scheduling of the right species at the right time, and someone who knows, what to do, and doesn't guess. There are many qualified universities around the world that would love to

take this on as a project, just need someone with some common sense to sort out the the ideas and proposals.

This is really great for Thailand. Hopefully will open up opportunities outside of Bangkok.

Get a fire that big and it all depends on the weather. Manpower has no control except in specific areas.

congratulations

Over ten years ago it was very obvious that this was going to happen, and China had a severe water shortage at that time. Was very surprised that there wasn't a bigger cry from the SE Asia. I don't think there is any period in Chinese history that they were benevolent.

30 days is normal. I am sure if you want to abnormal you can find a way.

There are a lot of smart kids in Thailand. A lot of the kids take education very seriously, and do very well when they move to another country. A lot of these kids start serious education a lot earlier than their western counterparts, and spend a more time in studies, and after school, weekend classes and tutoring. A lot depends on the parents of which a lot don't take education that seriously, as the opportunities are there. Creative learning is a much needed thing in Thailand as a lot of the learning is rote. What makes a smart kid, ability to create or knowledge? Asia has many of the same problems, and that parents attitude make a big difference.

Obviously shouldn't be allowed to be raised by the parents, and probably the parents should be sterilized. Is not a situation for do gooders to make decisions on.

Is a pain to get a taxi to take you to the airport in Bangkok. Still hustlers working the airport for non-meter rides to Bangkok. Was surprised.

Garbage and litter?

Contacts, and the learning environment can be important after formal education is over. There is more to learn, where you go to school, than academics.

I think one of the key factors is where will they live when they graduate. What careers are they interested in following.

Mine took an hour last year and an hour this year.

Unfortunately for some time the writing has been on the wall. Nobody is going to look after your future except you. If you want to have a secure

retirement you have to invest in retirement savings plans which are tax deductible, and for the average person doesn't take a lot of sacrifice.

The biggest problem is that it is best started when you are young, and want to buy the boy toys and keep up with the Jones's. One of the best

inheritances you can give to your children is to invest in a retirement saving plan, which can't be touched until they are in their sixties.

7000 baht per month for untrained people, double that if you want trained people

Maybe if the Temple's shared the food with the needy there wouldn't be as much waste and the monks would be a bit slimmer.

Despite the negative comments it is good to see the two nations bonding and sharing a common path.

White rice isn't the most nutritious or profitable crop to grow where is the government is providing micro-site alternative. It's only the nation, its health and viability at stake.

Didn't seem to have any problem with Thai Baht, US dollars and Viennese currency. Was amazing at how quickly I got back change in different currencies.
