Good on these students. Better yet? A nationwide protest by the students. If each and every student in the nation refused to attend school, until these draconian prohibitions were lifted, it would happen in a few days.

 

The goons in charge are focusing their efforts in all the wrong areas. They are trying to make Thailand a Quaker State. A land of purity. Total BS. Nonsense. Misplaced priorities, and wasted efforts. They should be focusing their efforts on traffic and public safety, easing import tariffs, making visa policy simpler, and more friendly, boosting Western tourism, real crackdowns on slavery, and illegal fishing instead of nonsensical hyperbole, cleaning up the water, the air, the rivers, and the beaches, and other things that actually improve lives.

 

Little P. Not making Thailand great again. And moving the nation backwards at an astonishing and alarming pace.  

Well said!  Your ideas will save countless lives, make the roads less dangerous and the horseshit could be used to grow healthy food. Thailand, the SEA Quaker Land.  Well done, Mr. P. I love the idea that all students refuse to go to school until the little one leaves his position and crawls back where he came from. If all students would demonstrate in Bangkok, will the tanks come? History repeats itself. ?

The teacher is incompetent and shouldn't be teaching English. Find another school - preferably and EP with competent English teachers, for your child. 

I'd make her/him lose so much face that they would have to replace the teacher. All new teachers who started this year, even PE teachers, have to pass a TOEIC examination within a year. This particular "English teacher" doesn't have a clue about English at all. Usually, the directors do not know how bad some of his employees really are. I'd correct all the mistakes and show the result to the director. 

  Time to shoot in the air, Loso. His wife made this photo and posted it on Farcebook. Brain damaged is not curable. 

I take them all. The bikinis.

most may be chinese copies, well they are generics so are pretty much exact copies of the original pharma products as their patents ran out so they had their time to get their money back on their clinical trials and r&d costs. the active pharmaceutical ingredient is exactly the same so in theory should perform exactly the same. anyway, i would think very easy to pick up what you need in thailand and in whatever quantities. i'd be more interested to know the kind of profits he would have been looking to make from that one shipment.

I recall a Brit who smuggled Valium to the UK and sold one 5 mg tablet for 4 to 7 pounds. Do the math.

If you want mia nois and make love with different women  in today's world of modern technology , you need to be smart. 

 

This is what you should have done .  

Buy 3 phones with 3 numbers, open a Facebook account for each phone and other apps like Line for each phone. 

Give them a fake name and off you go .  

Have sex and enjoy and cheat on your wife.

My point is that any insurance that is offered thru the government foreigners will never be able to make a claim against.

 

I'm unaware of any nation on the planet (I'm sure there's one) that requires insurance verification for a holiday. How this chaotic, corrupt govt will flawlessly manage that and not have the hassles lose tourists I'd love to see.

 

Weren't the go fund mes for expatriates? So, they should have been insured.

 

Insurance like credit is a total scam in this country. You pay the same as you would in the west, but the policies are riddled with loopholes rendering them worthless.

The GoFundMe pages were done by relatives of tourists who had motorcycle accidents here. Of course, should the Thai government not be involved, we all know how well they manage their country, the education, and other things.

But if tourists have got an insurance policy from back home for an affordable price, nobody could tell them to pay for an additional one in LOS.

I always bought an additional travel insurance policy when I still visited Thailand as a tourist ( of course also for other countries) and I don’t know why so many people believe that they don’t need one when traveling to Thailand. 

I don’t know many expats who’ve got an insurance with full coverage. The ones who’ve got one, are guys who work as teachers, or those who have worked and could continue with their Thai social security.

never mind sleep and brexit, most people here will probably be dead before they even see the next election

At least they've got a very bright self-made politician with the ability to make people fall asleep watching TV.

might as well. not needed here, the whole country is half asleep already ?

And all of them will be asleep after the Brexit. ?

  A sleeping pill smuggler found with a haul of almost 50,000 tablets he carried from Thailand to Manchester has been jailed.

  Valium is not a sleeping pill. It's being used for recreational purposes to "feel relaxed" and druggies love to take them if they don't have heroin or speed. It's amazing how much money people can make by smuggling them into the UK.

Is it on your TV, or PC? The sign usually means that you can connect another monitor at his point. Newer ones have HDMI, but the port is to small for a VGA connection. Can you be a bit more precise?

My heart goes out to all Thai students. It is the last place in the world I would want to be a student. Unless and until they are able to say to their teachers: "You are wrong. is why I think this is the correct answer", things will never change. 

 

They are teenagers. They want to have some fun. And the fact that their classmates are some of the prettiest women on earth does not help them to behave! Let them have some fun. Oppressing them makes the forbidden fruit even sweeter. 

 

That is virtually impossible here. Instead, they are addressing this from the outside in.

 

The goons in charge are focusing their efforts in all the wrong areas. They are trying to make Thailand a Quaker State. A land of purity. Total BS. Nonsense. Misplaced priorities, and wasted efforts. They should be focusing their efforts on rebuilding the educational system from the ground up. And working on traffic and public safety, easing import tariffs, making visa policy simpler, and more friendly, boosting Western tourism, real crackdowns on slavery, and illegal fishing instead of nonsensical hyperbole, cleaning up the water, the air, the rivers, and the beaches, and other things that actually improve lives.

How do soldiers know what's wrong with the whole educational circus? First, you'd have to get rid of the junta, find knowledgeable employees who are specialized in educational fields and then start to dismiss all the wannabe teachers who believe that students shouldn't be allowed to ask questions.

If they want to catch up, students have to fail if they are not good on important subjects. No student would like to repeat a class, which would be pressure enough to study, without just copying it from a classmate.

The superteachers who don't teach their subject in class and believe that giving them homework does the trick should be dismissed, without getting a chance to find employment at another school.

The unwritten law by the MoE that students may not ask questions, just because the teacher would lose face if she/he doesn't know the answer is a better joke. 

All new teachers who started this year have to pass a TOEIC examination, even the PE teachers. But the Thai English teachers, where most of them can't even put one sentence together can continue their Stonehenge lessons without any further punishment. 

If the Thais don't stand up, even if there'll be many victims, the country will continue to be one of the biggest jokes on this planet.

Teachers must be employed based on their knowledge and not how much they can pay for being a government employee. My son studies at a technical college and after three years of studying electronics, it turned out that he couldn't even switch a lightbulb. 

The whole system is messed up starting from Anuban up to tertiary level. Please go to a local Rajabhat and try to find a good English speaking senior student. And that after "studying English" for 17 + years. Shame on the MoE, the generals and admirals who make a fortune.

IMO< the level of English hasn't changed in 14 years, even with all the NES, and NNES speaking teachers. The majority of them are Filipinos who are slightly better in English than their Thai counterparts. They're good in making boards, etc...but not in teaching English. Please don't tell me that people who can hardly speak English are able to teach any subjects successfully. How do you teach subjects if you can't speak English? It doesn't work and more and more schools go the cheap way and hire the ones who call everybody Ajarn. 

Many NES are employed who didn't even finish high school back home. That can hardly be beneficial to be a great teacher. To be able to be a good language instructor, there's a lot more behind it. Psychological knowledge, knowing if the students can understand them, knowing educational techniques, understanding what students go through when their body is changing. 

I've heard a lot of teachers saying that they never had to study English grammar because they've learned it through speaking. If a foreigner went to university, he/she'll have studied grammar as well and that's not just the case with the English language. 

The agencies with their cruel contracts who hire anybody who's from an English speaking country without any educational knowledge are part of the exodus. No educated guy would work for 30 K/month without getting paid for three months, no personal leave, no sick leave, no holidays paid. I'd love to post such a contract, but I could also ask my HRM for immediate dismissal. 

New measures proposed by the Ministry of Education and now endorsed by a ministerial committee are banning students from having sexual contact anywhere.

The country is well known for hundreds of thousands of brothels, massage parlours, Go-Go bars and barbeers that it doesn't make any sense to tell young adults that sex is something bad. 

I'm speechless and wondering what's next?

For starters.....the basics.?

so to simplify for you, when I get to know someone and do not see myself accepting their ways or adjusting myself for them I end that relationship because it’s going nowhere and is a waste of time .

 

hopefully you have the ability to process and comprehend the concept 

 Can you elaborate, please?
