  1. A school is for educate people... All after school activities by teachers should be forbidden..After regular lessons, many children have special classes, even in the weekends and in the holidays.. parents pay for these classes and the kids are being learned nothing but because of the payment the kids have special treatments and grades...I know from several schools and parents.. in reality it seems more that they do their homework than learn, but the kids in fact who really need extra classes, often from poorer families will get behind further and further as they can't afford the lessons or are living to far from the school
  2. Modern Thailand ... medieval believes in the 21st century
  3. She is not Lisa....... so no tax payment and not allowed now... just to promote tourism is even pulled down
  4. Pheu Thai won this election because they had a pay out of the 10k wallet... As it was not shortly before the election, it still seems to be an influence ... otherwise the Pheu Thai did not achieve anything yet in the Government or with laws to improve the country and for its people
  5. Yeah Thai people are never to blame, but the foreigners... they must come so we can fine them for all kind of silly mistakes .. Long live the Thai tourism industry with expecting millions of potential arrogant foreigners..
  6. This is Thailand... no enforcement of laws, no educated drivers, poor maintained vehicles, Vehicles that are too old already, but with new paint look new, as no investments but greed of profit...lack of responsibility, too much hurry and night fatigue, and bad luminated roads.... and than wondering why accidents surge..
  7. Always something to blame, but the real reasons are the polluted air, expensive THB the alcohol restrictions, more expensive tickets, double pricing and standards, and so on.... but nothing to with the Russia Ukraine war or the Israeli war.. Thailand should stop finding excuses .. They ruined the tourism sector several years ago already and it is very difficult to rebuilt it as no investments are made, of course in words but not in deeds..Welcome tourist with a smile and treat them as guests instead as potential criminals
  8. Pheu did not do anything for the country yet but only a handout of 10k.... and that is what brought them their victory this time.. they are smart as with delaying the other payment they hope they will win other elections too... But it is shortsighted
  9. How long are you married with a Thai if I may ask?? It seems you have more experience than I have
  10. Marrying in Thailand is different than in western countries.. Here a foreigner is same as a jackpot, Many Thais don't care about age as long as they can get enough money to spend, as in Thailand everything is about being rich and beautiful. That also means that you have to take for the rest of the family too, parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents even cousins....They ll want to borrow money and will never pay it back as it is seen as your duty to help the family. If you don't do it they will not like you and it even could be dangerous...There are many stories known that foreigners died at suspicious circumstances. The best thing to do is that you don't live close to the Thai family... You will get a more private life. Another thing that is a threat is that Thais are very jealous. If you two are happy, they will start to gossip, telling lies, and try to ruin your relationship. It is real as Thai friends don't like it when somebody has a better life than they have. I had similar problems and I know several other with that problem too.. Even when I lived in my own country. The Thai population is gathering and are your friends, but in the meantime they start to destroy the relationship. Nobody who my partner knew in my homecountry is still married, but all divorced because of that.. and in our relationship I stopped it in time.. Not allowed to go to casinos, not allowed to drink with them, not allowed to go out with them as they all were hunting for a one-night stand, and see the result.. we are still in love and together and they are all divorced. Just to say. Same now we are living in Thailand we live away from the family, but if needed we help them, but they can't come over and don't know anything about our life and it is quiet... so after 23 years we are still happy together, what is almost a special case in Thailand, as mostly relationships don't hold as long. So yes marrying a Thai can be good, but you have to careful not to let you take into the Thai culture of adultery, drinking, gambling and moneygiving,,,, just live your own life together
  11. From 35 to 34 is in my opinion stronger and that in 2 weeks time
  12. Estimates is not a hard number... I hope to win the win the lottery too and with a vague number of 60% surge in the first 9 months... compared to which period?? And be fair Thai news is unreliable
  13. And the THB is getting stronger and stronger....I wonder why because you don't read a lot of positive news about economics of Thailand
  14. What is it???? a Miss election??? Beautiful woman but not natural looking....and what have this kind of pics to do with the things she achieved??
  15. Which costs??? he never really stayed there maybe 3 nights
  16. Of course it needs to be blocked... suppose it would be confirmed that he was never in the hospital treated for any disease....and all the information about it was fake... That would cause problems
  17. Nothing to do with Rome the protestants are even bad and in all religions it happens...
  18. How can you bring up kids with no money and only debts? how about the love you got when their kids themselves?? Parents are mostly dumping their kids with family or send them to school for a whole day and weekend, so that is a nice life they can look on back when they grew up..
  19. First Global event will be performance of Lisa....
  20. That is arranged than... She can coming back and being fake sick.... all problems solved after a fake stay in a hospital and than get a certificate of good behavior and life goes on
  21. Make the local alcohol drinks more expensive... Ridiculous that a a few bottles of beer are more expensive than a whole bottle of Thai whiskey.... And the imported wine are extreme expensive because of the import tax and that for low quality of wines.. And besides that make bar owners or bartenders be responsible for the amount of alcohol someone drinks as in many countries they do.... They must be able to say enough is enough now, your drunk already.... but here in Thailand only money counts that is why the entertainment venue is open till 4.am ... why not close at 1 am surely on weekdays.... rules rules rules in Thailand will never be followed and there are a lot of them.. no alcohol sales on Buddhists holidays and or election days, but you can buy and drink if you want except for the big shops.. is just an example
  22. Thaksin is not so popular anymore as he once was....The Government haven't achieved anything so far except a partly pay out of the 10k handout. and the Pheu Thai is friends with the army, backstabbed Pita and the will of the Thai people is reforms... And with the current leaders it will not be done...So all hopes for People Party
  23. due to the expensive THB....but what in orders and products??
  24. Surely ghosts who wanted to eat a 5 star chicken on a Buddhist holiday.....
