People who speak English are not English teachers unless they have been educated in the art of language instruction.

Have to be careful everywhere these days. Last time I was in Vancouver, I was threatened by a homeless crazy guy at 9:30am outside my offices in the downtown financial center of Vancouver. I luckily talked him down and he walked away. Everywhere these days you see a lot of crazy.

What we are missing is the measurement from the floor to the top of the railing. My assumption is that it is far below legal standards. Rather than assuming somebody pushed them.

I thought the bank. But if you only got 5 baht and take off your pants all the time. Then!!! your ear is the best place.

My friend’s 7-year old son is getting straight A’s in napping and pretending to be asleep. He is also doing pretty good in snacking. But he does not know how to count to 100, has no idea what plus and minus are, and cannot write his name in Thai. But since he is rated second highest in his class of 26 other farmer children, by his teacher. My comments are dismissed.

Is this information that was provided to you by the Thai police or are you getting this information from InterPol? Either way I am impressed that you are allowed to share it with us.

You people come from countries that have perfected the art of theft. And you whine about poor Thais stealing a few baht. Good home for god’s sakes. Leave this country and it’s people alone.

Another uneducated comment. I have been involved in teaching English in Japan and the average Japanese high schooler is 100 times more proficient at English than members of this forum. Their issue is solely with pronunciation as they don’t have easy access to English speakers. But after a few weeks of one on one they are amazingly proficient English speakers.

Does anyone know of a service to assist me in getting my Thai Captain/Skippers Ticket (license) and Thai Engine Operator Ticket? I am purchasing a 15m yacht (registered in Thailand) with some friends and we are told that we need to have 3 crew on board that are licensed under Thai law and that one must have a Thai Captain Ticket and the other a Thai Engine Operator Ticket. I know that it is possible to take the test (only available in Thai) in Phuket, but I live in Pattaya/Chonburi and would like something possibly closer. Also, I heard a rumor that you get take the test in Chang Mai (not sure why there) but I will need a Thai translator (who is hopefully themselves a Captain/Skipper. Any help direction or contacts would be most appreciated.
