A non workable government should be dissolved indeed... You do your job or you are being sacked.. easy peasy

The second time it is clear that Thai justice is based on money and friends.. Accused of violating section 112 Mr Thaksin got bail, while others are bail refused... but Thaksin has the money. He is not allowed officially to leave the country, but he has already granted permission for 2 times and more will follow, while other protestors are being kept in jail and being punished with more jail term time after time... And than Thailand dare to claim that is the laws are equal for everybody

All teachers in schools have the same problem. In every subject. There are too many students in the class, and only a few participate in the lessons and others only copy. I had happily a good relationship with the students and one day it happened that there was math on the blackboard. Most students told me they did not understand how to do it and i explained it was not so difficult. My English lesson became a math class and after 1 hour every student could do it and was happy that they inderstood it. But Thai culture does not allow to ask questions to a teacher. All about losing face

Happy to know you now everything.. probably got your education here in Thailand. Your comment on everybody but you knoe nothing about the real life

Leave him, as he has no clue what he is talking about. He wants to be show he knows a lot but it is a hollow barrow

No my partner is Thai and told me myself. And indeed, if you understand some Thai you will hear that you ate talking aboit you, as they assume you don't understand them

That is very easy. Thai is a tone language and we are grown up or used to hear the difference in these tones. That is why it is very difficult to learn. On the other hand Thai people don't like it that your Thai is very good as they like to gossip about you and will change to a kind of dialect.

Do you think so? Where can apply for the best paid jobs? What language do you use if you go on holiday to India or so? Thai is only used in Thailand, English is a global language

I am happy to read how well educated you are and how ill you are informed about Thai people. In my 20 years living in Thailand I never met 1 Thai that could speak vietnamese, Chinese or French. I hardly can find a good English teacher to talk with. My vice director was a Master in English, but our conversations were always in Thai although i always urged her to use English, just as the director of school asked me. And Lao and Khmer people around the borders can speak of course. I am from the Netherlands and I can speak Belgian and German too and even a bit French. But a few wirds is not fluently as you claim. And with the low education standards in Thailand i dare to say that your statement doesn't make sense. Surely not for the majority

I completely agree with you. In my country you have to work en study instead here in Thailand always going to the next grade. It creates lazy people, as nobody ever learned to work to achieve something. I am currently involved in the funeral ceremonies in Thailand and several kids come with the family even M6 students. My family tell them to talk with me, but they refuse,hide,and say they are afraid to make mistakes and many more excuses. How can you evet learn? I had to learn some Thai too and i can help myself, and i make mistakes but without mistakes you never learn

Pai.. not the place to be for foreigners.. now musicians, a few months back the rafting because people weren't wearing a proper outfit and now what will be next? Avoiding the place is better

I don't where you come from or what you do but only a handful of people in Thailand can speak another language than Thai.

The biggest problem in Thai education is the non fail policy. Kids are not pushed to learn as they will pass to the next grade. So why should they learn and do their best to learn a foreign language. Besides that there are many Thai English teachers that hardly can speak English. They are good at grammar but how can you teach to speak English and motivate students if even the teacher is unable to do it. As an example, my vice director was a master in English, but she could hardly speak with me. Thailand want things, but the first thing they need is willing to change

In Europe things are very different if you ever been there...but according to your vomment no experience with it. Or ever tried to ride on a motorcycle without an helmet there?

It isclear that the Thai government will not change any article of the constitution. The army, elite and the ones in charge will never accept the risk of losing power

Than the police has a lot of to do as many Thais every day without being fined, but if a foreigner does it it is payment time

What is fair treatment? If you behave normal nothing is the matter. But no helmet wearing, as an example, is being fined more for foreigners than Thai. No driverslicense same. That is not fair and equal. Same for vaping which is forbidden, but is even done by policeoffers too. Same law, ssme rules but same punishments is not always the same for netizens and foreigners

THanks to the Equal Marriage Bill

Indeed you know me very good.. Try to get drunk to go to your job and see what will happen.. Common sense forbid you to drink, but you don't understand that. I think you never been to a touristic destination where you can't buy a beer in the afternoon if you are on the beach

That is true but that is the same for Big C and LOtus's

THey write civil servants.. Business is something different.. Besides that is solved in this law by allowing to drink between 11 an 14

Drinking during working hours is in all countries forbidden and if they do so they will be fired.. Normal behavior if you are working but in Thailand there is a lack of common sense and although they pretend to be a free country, everything is limited

Even impossible at Makro that is in fact a wholesale shop for other shops... But common sense is in Thailand not available
