A few decades ago most Thai families knocked out half a dozen kids, expecting to lose a couple along the way. Education was affordable up to a certain age then out to work. Times have changed, kids cost money, people are struggling on low incomes. The wealth gap has changed dramatically, politics have not.

More like it... wasn't me guv .

Coupled to the cost to parents that can no longer afford it.

Maybe they need an education minister who has an idea about education matters and not a Police General?

Pure BS

In some ways China is very smart... like them or hate them.

Work camp, no-way... I'll head east a bit further.

Likewise, the cooler days and nights are welcomed, west of Bangkok we seem to be getting a late afternoon early evening showers, not heavy but steady for a couple of hours.

Flying in 2024 is as safe if not safer than it has ever been... not sure how you come to that conclusion? this event was/is unpredictable even with modern tech in the aircraft. Bad weather, can be detected ahead using onboard radar and reports from ATC and other aircraft, however air-pockets remain invisible.

The usual crack down followed by a backflip.

Beats working for a living...

Thailand living in the dark ages... keep complaining and tourists may just go elsewhere.. then you will have something to moan about. Thailand asked for everything it gets when it opted for quantity over quality... All TAT think about are numbers. 20 million, 30 million, 40 million 50 million... and rising...

As teachers you'd think they have had a good education and can live financially within their means... Not borrow beyond their capacity to repay debts just to look high status in society .

That's a first...

Just another poor soul coming from the other end with a torch looking for a way out.

So much money tied up in drugs and people of influence peddling misery. What do you think really happens to all the drugs confiscated by border patrols, military or the RTP ? You think they incinerate it?

She should report this to the police immediately... he will do it again to someone else as he will think he can get away with it. The only way to stop these sexual assaults is to name, shame and arrest these culprits.

Allegedly involved.

Don't throw stones in a glass house springs to mind

E-cigarettes banned but a quick puff behind the bike sheds is fine.

One way traffic again...

She does know about Thailands knock-off fake Italian designer bags right?

Spot on.... well said.

Fat chance... Pheu Thai got in by default and the senate blocking Pita/FFP Thaksin is writing the rules and that seems to having nothing to do with the people having a say in anything, including the new senate.

Why... or do they not want bad publicity regarding the coral reefs?
