Never found long hair stopped me passing exams. Got my O Level in woodwork with ease.

It's all down to a lack of driver education. When I cycle at one of the parks here you see kids of high school age cycling all over the place. Stop abruptly in the middle of the cycling lane? Check. U-turn without looking behind? Check. Drive on the right? Check. Swerve across to chat with a friend? Check. Cycling in a park should be where future motorcyclists gain at least some road skills but nope. You can spot the future doomed kids with ease. Why don't schools try to promote safe cycling before anyone gets a motorbike? Because it isn't in the curriculum I guess.

I understand this amounts to good behavior and should help when risk pardons are given. Good luck to them.

Seems very reasonable to me.

Don't think you'd get that many votes. We're talking absolute majority. Never been done in history. A relative told me she accepted the politicians' cash then voted for the one she likes. I agree that is the best tactic.

Aside from the cheap jibes by neanderthals it is a great love story. Seemed his family tried to fit a square peg into a round hole (no jokes please) and he finally escaped their expectations. However, as some pointed out, he will need to renew his visa and immigration will be waiting. Same sex marriage is not legal yet. He shouldn't have talked to the journalist I guess. I wish him all the best, having found happiness in the simple life.

Certainly is strange that the Shinawatras kept winning overwhelmingly each election. It was as if he was very popular or at least more popular than his competitors.

Smile and stop showing people you are wealthier than them.

Quite honestly fit people do die suddenly. Jim Foxx, the originator of jogging, who died of a heart attack while jogging is the most famous example. Personally, as i burn easily I shall not be visiting the island, but i will also inform friends who visit not to bother with it as there are other places without the death island reputation. The police have brought this negative feeling on themselves with their very lackadaisical attitude toward deaths.

While everyone is blaming teachers i have to wonder why the parents never saw something was wrong and ask questions. While it is hard to confide in some parents, parents do love their kids. I assume the parents are asking themselves what they did wrong.

But he said the explosions happened after he got out. So no attempt to help at all? Oh well.

Have to start thinking of alternative expressions. Not as good as some but not the worst. Our products are worth buying. So buy now! Let us give you the spa of a lifetime. It won't kill you. We don't guarantee a happy ending. But money helps. Out airport van service won't roll over and explode.

As ice is used in beer here then I guess anything goes.

Why didn't he try to drag others out?

If the direction is too make prostitution legal and subject to tax, social security and given benefits it sounds comparable to the Netherlands but it looks difficult for Thailand to reach that level due to corruption.

Why do many people call themselves Irish American when they have never been to Ireland and don't have dual nationality? It is like saying someone is German British. I don't think anyone cares. Why do people say, "countries like Europe."? Why is every country with government funded healthcare "communist" but government funded police or firemen are not?

I once had savings in an offshore bank that closed. Taken a long time to get the money back. For this reason, the majority of my savings are in GSB. I asked them to check for me several years ago how much of a guarantee they give and after checking with head office I was assured 100% of savings were guaranteed. I asked what if the bank went bankrupt (there was a brief run on the bank several years ago). They explained that for the bank to go bankrupt, the Thai government would have to be bankrupt. The government guarantees the bank. If commercial banks went bankrupt there is a scheme to pay you one million baht. If you have 5 million or more you will not be happy. I use SCB for salary deposits and ATM and have less than a million in several other commercial banks but I shift money to GSB whenever i need. I also put money into their lottery account because I win an average of 1,000 baht a month plus annual interest.

A "crackdown" usually occurs after the police have suffered a tremendous loss of face and need to be seen taking action against people not paying sufficiently to avoid arrest. It happens. But i don't get why a husband can't help his wife or even why permanent residents aren't allowed to work without a permit.

Interesting that a student filmed the slap. Wonder if the teacher had been slapping kids regularly and everyone knew what was going to happen?

Anyone in any country showing pictures of the prophet endangers themselves. I guess the University teachers in this case reached their conclusion faster than those reading this article.

Ok, so the USA being more violent than France should not concern teachers of repercussions. Second, the number of school shootings in the USA should not concern university professors. Got it.

Never heard of French teacher Samuel Paty? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Samuel_Paty Showing pictures of Mohammed led to violence in Texas too. Whether in University or anywhere outside may lead to violence. https://edition.cnn.com/2015/05/04/us/garland-mohammed-drawing-contest-shooting/index.html

Strange comment by the PM. It wasn't long ago when Chinese backed insurgents try to turn Thailand communist, to the extent the Thai army burned suspected communist villagers alive in red tanks filled with boiling oil. He isn't too young to remember.

Unfortunately, this is not the ordinary censorship we are accustomed to, like dirty words or nudity. Someone is likely to get stabbed in the street for showing a picture of the prophet. I am sure the University was aware of the likelihood of murders following.

They won't dare go far in the investigation. Once he threatens to spill the beans on top policemen he will be flown to China.
