  1. not government schools I suppose... Ep programs and international schools are different.. but I am talking about the normal temple schools and Government schools
  2. I taught in several schools and everywhere is the same... and indeed children don't say anything never to anybody....as they know that most Thai parents will them again..Happy to hear you have angel children
  3. Easy to write, but you never were in a Thai school apparently.. No other punishments are allowed than hitting with a stick. and the students themselves say.. no problem teacher a little bit hurt...The students are taught not to discuss with the teacher or even go to the director or administration... This is Thailand 2023
  4. Forbidden in Thailand isn't it?? So why can he do it than?
  5. Good action, the people should show how they are being treated with the uotcome of the elections and the influence of 250 appointed senators
  6. So no salaries possible for 600 THB a day but a raise of 3% VAT should not cause any problems....I think it is better that everybody start register at the place they are living in instead of the blue family book. And everybody has to fill in a tax form..In fact everybody has to pay tax with an income of an certain amount just as it is now, so it is easy if you don't earn enough money, you don't need to pay, but in the meantime the tax office can check your assets too and it is much easier to find people for corruption, drugs and human traffickers and criminals...Everybody happy except they of course
  7. The result of putting all eggs in one basket
  8. I know for sure that the RTP is hitting and slamming suspects.. My foster kid had also the same experience.. but normally no one cares and as a foreigner I was not allowed to do something.. Human rights are unknown in Thailand
  9. The wines in Thailand are ver overpriced by the taxes.. In Europe in a restaurant you pay 15 euro for a good bottle = about 600 THB.. For this amount here you have almost undrinkable wine...I don't talk about the expensive wines in Europe, just normal good quality..
  10. All kind of measures to prevent alcohol abuse.. no advertising, restricted hours etc but the entertainment venues must be open till 4 am.. Shut tham at 0.100 every day and let them be open til 2 am in the weekends... Or cancel all restrictions..
  11. They changed the text ...... the original text was that she became the First Lady as the wife of the PM...
  12. Overloaded pick ups, tiredness of drivers, bad or no lights on the roads, speeding and the list goes on...and so these kind of accidents
  13. First lady is only for a president.. Srettha is not a president het is a Prime Minister.. so no way she is a First Lady.. she wants a title but doesn't deserve it
  14. Probably someone who is used in Thailand to let everybody work for him/her as he/she has a higher rank job.... A dispute from 1 person and 12 others are involved... and nobody of the 12 could help the passenger??? Some people think the own the world and everybody has to do as they say.. But that is only in Thailand, not outside in the normal world
  15. Good to hear... I hope that the new constitution will have an article that everybody is the same for the law... no matter what sex, religion, skin color, position( work and social), sexual preference, poor or rich etc etc... The laws are the same for everyone who is in Thailand long or short... It would the first step to hold corruption
  16. Same Mr Prayuth?? he quitted politic too, but seems to be in the race for Minister of Defence...
  17. Maybe start with lifting the restrictions on news... freedom of press instead of controlling everything... There is too much control
  18. and don't forget that they are thinking about making Mr Prayuth minister of defence..Although he quitted politics a few weeks ago... Nothing is sure in Thailand and surely not with Pheu Thai
  19. Promises and Pheu Thai..... 2 things that never matches
  20. Maybe first look around what is happening around the world... Airtickets are very expensive due global warming measures... Flying is discouraged.. There is thread of of economic slowdown or even regression ... and Thailand has lost a lot of its glory by double pricing, bad management in the past decades, more dangerous for tourists, such as fall from balconies and murders and robberies.... and of course the alcohol sales hours the e-cigarettes and more things that you don't need to worry for in "normal" tourist countries
  21. Protests??? Democracy?? even for people in another country to support is punishable in Thailand... Thailand the land of smiles. It once was.. Nowadays it is Thailand the land to shut your mouth
  22. Many people with high bloodpressure can act normally... A lot of people don't even know they have a high pressure... But in this case money speaks. He don't need to go to prison, but because of so called health problems he can stay at home.. How different it is for many inmates with real health problems..Or have we forgot how they handled the hunger strikers? Or the handling in prisons of the Covid infections... ??This is a make up but again money speaks and is the key to opens every door.... Shameful for Thailand and justice
  23. I wonder if there a same treatment for protestors in hungerstrike... They were in a worse condition than Thaksin. I myself have a high bloodpressure too and I can do everything in fact. Seems indeed questionable.. but is was expected of course.. So called bad health don't need to go to prison. Double standards in Thailand?? that is not normal.. Look at the conditions in most prisons especially when there was Covid.. There wil more inmates with this kind of symptons and they are not taken care of
