as long as their is a no fail policy in place the thai education system is sure to reep what it sows. back home, if i failed, i would have to take the year over again. here, the teachers give the missing points to ensure the kids get at least 50%. by now, the parents of the kids in the system today know that the kids cannot be failed because the very system that passed them is passing their kids. moreover, seeing how schools here are run like a business, the "i want my child to be happy" is what rules the roost. somchai's feelings cannot be hurt by him failing. the kids dont want to earn their grades, for the most part, and the teachers are underpaid and have no other choice than pass the kids on to the next year

deluded? what planet you live on? TIT

cronies, nepotism, sycophants, brown nosers, brown envelopes, boys in brown... and the list goes on. is there any doubt that these guys dont get promoted on merit?

there is something that seems new in chrome i only discovered recently. if you move your mouse over the open tabs at the top of the browser and keep it there for a few seconds you can see how many mb's each is using. maybe your com is allocating to many resources to this. i would also check in the task manager the performance to see how my cpu is doing i have 3 hp minis and i really love them. i upgraded the cpu's, maxed the ram and added an upgraded vga card. it works marvelously

dude, i feel for you. here, in banchang rayong, every village where the security guards disappeared because of owners or tenants not paying has been on a downward slope. the pools get closed, the vegetation reclaims the sois, soi dogs start to multiply and if you have a snake in your yard or house you are left to your own device. good luck. the fee is usually worth it and the cheapos who dont pay are morons

I agree, unfortunately. I have COPD level 2 and when i do smoke i know i am reducing my life span and i am already short of breath enough as it is. However, i completely support anyone who wants to partake in gettin LOW DOWN STONED cos they want to. i enjoy growing the herb and i wish to see it legalised worldwide bdfore i die. There are enough DONTS in life and weed shouldnt be one of them. That said, my freedom ends where others' starts and i respect non-smokers, as long as the feeling is mutual. Go and toke in peace...

you go first. all those in favor say 'I'

i know, that is why i was wondering where the photo was from. there isnt much night life worth mentioning in rayong. that city is actually boring. it has gotten a bit better over the years, robinsons... lamtong ... but i am glad i am past the age of going out

dude, no one here hates that you are smoking. actually we kinda weeded out the ones who are against it in this sub forum. i say more power to you. BUT!!! your post doesnt factor in all the things that might happen in the very near future with the new gvt and i believe, correct me if im wrong, that this is what the other posters are scoffing at. we might be in either for some draconian changes, medical weed with doctor prescriptions, illegal to grow your own once again, or out right illegal. personally, contrary to some good guys here, i think the sretta gonna make it hell. other than that, enjoy it while it lasts...

my nemesis... lol thanks for that... i know rayong a bit and i was wondering where the picture was taken from. couldnt see any landmark similarities with rayong

what about the op today about the 2 under age girls in rayong who had to service police pigs in brown?

pedantic implies somewhat uncommon knowledge being shown off, whereas nothing i said is pedantic. grammar 101 --> adjectives adverbs. as for received pronunciation... all the brits know about it... most western colonists like me dont know about it. i found out about it in my 30s. where you from? ill bet your not a brit. oh and thanks, i blushed at being called pedantic... what a nice compliment for lil' ol' me

I have motorcycle and car. can i register the 2? sorry for the query, just good to have a heads up when trying something new

link to licence app, please. wife says that cops dont accept the app... but nice to be safe not sorry... shes been wrong in the past -- she married me

last sunday

??? is this 2nd time you lose it???

you have to go file a police report then go get a replacement at drivers bureau. not sure if you have to go through the hoops... video-eye test... medical report. go ask them (dmv) to be sure

is it any surprise? dangerous move. bib involved in all the things you cannot denounce. unfortunately i fear nothing will be done. when the ones who are meant to keep society safe are corrupt it is easy to say all hope is lost

supposed to be funny?

and you are on the war path again this time taking on @Liverpool Lou. and as you do for so many others you: "The important words being "his story". "Very big" of you to have decided to interpret it the way you did!" (--> quote liverpool lou) seems i am not the only one calling you out for interpreting things the way YOU want to. easy to keep waffling and waddling when only one AN member calls you out... but eventually everyone here will see you for what you are. a negative peg... mai pen rai richard... this is just a blog

thanks dude... good to know what is going on keep it up... ya got my thumbs up

mr smith a COVID denier. once again trying to ridicule another AN member. scoring points on the back of others. freeloader i call that

PERFECT? lol dont you mean perfectly? adverb with verbs... not adjectives. except for received pronunciation which was created out of a need for brits to understand each other... i can say after having travelled england that most dialects arent that easy to understand and most of england speaks in dialects except for those who have learned received pronunciation. goat... i kinda have to agree with you on this one. but... there are some cool brits (many) and i think of britmantoo as an example. but i do have to say that in the staff rooms i have worked with many english nationalities that the brits did seem to have something to iron out the most...

an interesting lesson in history this morning. you guys just added a few facts to the limited knowledge of thai history i have despite having been here quite a stretch

in ww2 they actually were going to declare war on the us and its allies, but the diplomat did not deliver that declaration. as history goes it will always seem like thailand was neutral when in fact it wasn't. i have a feeling of deja vu here. honestly i don't think they are neutral. one more thing. they mention '2 superpowers'. i guess they don't consider russia as being powerful, but heck... are they ever catering to them. seems to me thailand is playing on 3 fronts. dont military strategists always say never manage 2 wars at the same time?
