  1. So no jobs left.. Thai can do everything, even teaching English without speaking and understanding one word if a foreigner talks with them. How many foreigners are helping their spouse for a restaurant or whatsoever. Small businesses, who can't employ more people... They should be aware....Tourism is killed already by stricter visa rules and an expensive THB, now the familybusinesses what is left over after the visa rules must be killed... When do we get a Government with brains and vision???
  2. I undertand it, but there is 1 thing that I don't understand is that when Prawith says that the rate USD/THB on 37 is not good, suddenly the THB get stronger....Besides we all know that the rich can switch their THB now into western currency at a cheap price and as soon as the reality of the so called strong manipulated THB will crash they can change again and make big profits...Don't forget who owns the THB
  3. There are no other ways to punish them.... write rules?? they don't do it,...... Keep them after school ? Can not as they have to go home by the schoolbus,...... Fail them? impossible..... Let them clean the toilets? The director disagree as loosing face .....Remove them from the class?? It is not allowed....Expel them from school?? That punishment is too harsh for a minor incident.....That is the reality.....And the students?? They know it very well that a teacher can't do anything in fact and they surely use it..... If you ever were ateacher here in Thailand ypou would know it....Thailand is not the Western world.....
  4. The universities have the power for changes.. They are the future and all changes start with students...Always been and always will...Thailand is too outdated... Respect for them as they dare to stand up....More should follow as united you can reach your goals, individual will not do
  5. Why always blame the teacher.... Who of you ever stood in a class with 50 kids who don't want to do anything as they all know they will always pass... It is a real problem with overloaded classes, always pass laws, and the so called "angel"kids....and the workload of the teachers.. As long as the education system is not changed this will happen....If you are a motivated teacher, find another job because as a teacher you will get no rewards for your work nor from schools, students and parents....
  6. It is not about the amount of money, but as long as there is double pricing they should not collect this fee....It seems they want to use it for the touristindustry, so why extreem high prices for foreigners and free or low entrances fee for Thais... and if it is for the health industry , than it is better to only get tourist entries with a visa, when you have to show a healthinsurance at applying for the visa... No need for extra payments.....
  7. Not all entries are tourists.....People living in Thailand and coming back from their families in the neighbouring countries because of Christmas and New Year celebrations, are no tourists..Same for expats who went back for the holidays and now retgurning to Thailand again... So what do TAT descripes as a tourist??
  8. The THB is far too expensive.....That makes things from THailand expensive to buy... and with no modernizing of laws in Thailand , the country will stay behind
  9. Never a problem if mr Prayuth is involved...Even the Constitution Court can't stop this man
  10. pay 350 THB a day for more than 12 hrs work and mostly 7 days a week....Who want a job like that?? And as we could read immigrants are not allowed to work, as jobs Thais can do are not allowed to do by immigrants....Yes indeed a problem... Maybe 600 THB a day not bad, but better a monthly wage and at least 4/5 days off at 15Ka month would do better
  11. I wondering which Chinese came on the 9th than....There was so much publicity of Chinese coming after the lockdown and today the first direct plane???
  12. But Asean people from neighbouring countries can work in factories, doing jobs that Thais can do too, but are not willing to do.. That is no problem??? The outdated labour law should be reviewed. In other countries most Thais can do any job or any business they want... Thailand is too protective and that makes country not going forward.. More competition makes more need of new ideas, services, etc..
  13. No discrimantion n Thailand, but it seems that more foreigners are fined than Thai..How many drivers are there without a driverslicense in cars and motorcycles... Indeed everyone has to follow the law, with the same fines and no double standards
  14. Coincidentially there wasa similar case with a former student in the school were I was teaching. the M3 girl was deperately in love with her Thai teacher, that she wanted to commit suicide, because he rejected her...Her mother came to school because the director was a monk and she thought the the old teachers could change her mind...It happens everywhere.. Look at Presodent Macron from France... he married his teacher....And yes I disapprove relations love relations between teachers and students.. Not professional
  15. no points to deduct as he was not allowed to drive a motorcycle already.. Why don't parents in Thailand don't care about their children in general... And of course again the lack of law enforcement by the police...... 1 year a lot of work to fine and check everybody and everything and things will improve a lot.. But ........ Martin Luther King said already... I have a dream
  16. If they want to do an election campaign aleady, finish this week and next week the current businesses and dissolve the parliament and they can go to the provinces to get votes.. But not now as they have to do their job first.....
  17. On one hand they want to ease the tourist visa and with the other hand they make restrictions like 300 THB entry fee... I changes but keep it 30 days and no entry fee. People who want to stay longer can apply for a 3 month visa... Same as a Schengenvisa for example...
  18. I am still wondering how it is possible that people with no driverslicense can buy a car or motorcycle....It is the greed of the selling business and the lack of the Government to do something about it. Even without a proper income they sell cars with loans to people with no driverslicense and when things go wrong......who is responsible?? Lack of law and police enforcement....and ruling by the Government... Nobody cares
  19. It will never work... First of all as long as there are a lot of drivers who drive without a license, no proper education in driving and behavior on the road, and no enforcement of the laws and / or the corruption by the police, it will fail. They should start at the beginning.. helmets on motorcycles instead of masks, proper checks at checkpoints( not only tax payment). heavy fines for speeding, dangerous driving, alcohol, druksabuse and overloaded trucks and cars..and although many crackdowns on blacksmoke cars there are many on the road.mEnforcement of laws 24/7/365
  20. I am thrilled if he steps down , leaves and never comes back again
  21. Whatever.... his license revoked for at least 1 year a jail term and very big fine....He is rich enough and doesn't stand above any law... Show that Justitia is blind, instead of having a vault for envelopes
  22. that will be a long wait before law enforcements and rforms are made..... Don't look further than the Civil union Bill/Gay Marriage laws, that takes already almost a decade....Alcohol laws are still not adjusted to the 21st century and driving ..... don't need to explain
  23. there are 3 to 4 million foreigners working/living in Thailand.... They pay tax and spend money here.... What do you think do the contribute to the economy?? And that are not tourists
  24. If all westerns would leave there was not much left of Thailand
  25. The perfect country... no sexworkers,only hostesses, waitresses, and masseuses.....or whatever names they use..... Pattaya is the sexcapital of the world, how do they get that name??? But the RTP is not corrupt and does a good job always, so no worries...
