Student safety as the Ministry of Education always proclaims is important... This the reality.. 20 students in a minivan and it is no exception.. In every school in every place in Thailand it is the same or even worse.. Kids are being transported as cattle...Old vans, trucks, schoolbusses.. I am surprised there are no more accidents

I prefer more competition and choices in taxis.. See if the scam will stop than.. It is easy to have the monopoly, but when more options are coming you should be inventive to attrack your clients, instead of banning competitors -

Report Cabinet Approves Measures to Shield Youths from E-Cigarettes

Measures for something that is forbidden??? Is it not wise first to make it legal with restrictions for youth and clear rules for sellers instead of this?? It is illegal but we make a public awareness campaign and educational initiatives for forbidden vapes... Are they doing that for drugs too?? I will never understand the thoughts of the people here -

He is probably in good health but the old man should stay at home, instead of showing up everywhere to fill his pockets.. He has more than enough money and should be retired and out out of the news and sight... -
The freedom of speech in Thailand is very very limited.... everything can be seen as defamation... and that for claiming to be a democratic and free country... 2 laws prevent that Thailand is democratic

Report Anutin's Mission: All Thai Kids Back in Classrooms
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It is not going to happen .. I see in my neighbourhood a few kids got some money from the Amphur for their education, but they are still walking around and not going to school. And nobody cares... Even the school or the education commission of the area, and police officers let kids be free walking around.. But yea what do you expect if you always pass and there are no sanctions for not attending class... -

Report Father's Furious Kick at Kindergarten Sparks Outrage
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
Yea indeed, but what is in these cells?? drugsaddicted, dealers and some murderers.. and people who have stolen something or for section 112 violation.. But that is not what I mean. Thailand throws everybody in jail, the easiest way to get rid of problems.. But many times you read that stepfathers/mothers grandfathers uncles and aunts fathers and mothers are abusing kids in all thinkable ways or even killed.. and what will happen to it?? nothing... Throw in the cell and the problem is solved, but you need decent education, rehability programs, safe houses for kids and justice that condemns these practices... Some while ago we could read that a kid was abandoned in a house for months untill a neighbour told someone...How many more are there??Kids beaten, abused, living alone here.... and the Government too busy instead of investing in decent education of parents, create institutions for kids safety, etc... -

It is not cancelled, it will come back as there are new elections.. They promise again to get votes, but I hope that the Thai people will be smarter this time..

Economy Thailand’s Wealth Gap Widens: Most Bank Accounts Below 50,000 Baht
ikke1959 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You misunderstand me... I have written many times already that the daily wages system should be abolished and that everybody has to a get a monthly salary of at least 13k a month with 6 days working from max 9 hours a day...THat means everybody earns about 500 THB a day.. and holidays are being paid too. But this is a few steps too far for Thailand..It would improve life and economy .. In the Western world they have done the same many decades ago, so it is possible to do it in Thailand too -
10 year tourist visa with working opportunities... Retired people are even not allowed to do volunteer jobs as a workpermit is always needed. Now it could be on a tourist visa?? Backpackers came many years ago and they found a job an worked and spend their earnings on holidays here in Thailand, but after the coup the visa rules were changed and the backpackers stayed away and the economy started to decline...as with these rules also the people who had to do border runs for staying in Thailand were not allowed anymore to do so only for a stay of max 90m days.. Many foreigners with a small restaurant or shop went out of the country and the partners and their families lost that income.. And now a 10 year tourist visa?? for staying how long? 90 days in 180 days?? so that they can stay exact 180 days and have to pay tax here? and with no other rights as they are just tourists?? It will not work
