Sounds like you need to pay for a better school.

Not much choice. This one is already the best in the neighborhood 

I live in Thailand, I am married to a Thai woman and we live together with her two daughters aged 13 and 15. Now we decided 2 years ago to place the children in a better school with the expectation that they will receive a good education. What describes my surprise, after 7 months of sitting at home because of C19 and with every now and then a little bit of online schoolwork, they are now going back to school full time. What do you expect after 7 months of standstill...... That an attempt is made to catch up. None of that. Homework 1 to 2 times a week. Tests are canceled in connection with school activities (cooking for a school meeting). If Thailand wants to move forward, it will have to drastically improve education. I wonder if the surrounding countries are making progress in education and general development. If that's the case, things look bleak for Thailand's future.

Is Spitting Image back on the Telly?

No Sinovac for me. Dont want to go to the hair clinic in Turkey again.

With the UK looking like mandating boosters and 100% fully vaccinated Gibraltar cancelling Christmas due to rising cases....... I'd say Thailand's porky pies will get even more amusing in the coming months. 

Yep, we now come to the point to find out that these "wonder" vaccins actually dont work that well. Back to the drawing board. Tourism..........0

It is absolutely true that when children roll into society with a command of the English language and can also work with a computer, their chances increase enormously. For the Western world it is an advantage if the Thai children are more English oriented than Chinese.

Return and risk always go hand in hand. This was worse then a chinese Junk bond. So the outcome was clear before the money was pledged.

Well, the pound is tanking due to the idiots in the BOE not raising interest rates and the economy sluggish due to supply chains (which annoys me as the £ slips against the $ even though the $ has real supply chain issues too). 

 

One can only hope the Thai economy remains sluggish , because if it booms with tourism the demand for the baht may well push my £ lower.

 

 

I dont think you have to fear for that as more Covid BS comes around the corner. And with a expensive bath export will also take a hit.

Well this is also showing the stubbornness of EU, where double or triple vaccinated people cannot get in if they did not get the "EU kind of approved" vaccine (no Sinovac, Sinopharm, Sputnik, India and Thai AZ). All politics too.

But it does bring good things with it (in this case)

I feel sorry for the poor guy

It realy doesnt matter, if it comes to tourism, if the bars are open or not. C-19 is lighting up its fire again and and many counties will see the lock down soon. So in any way, they wont come.

Poor Bargirls. Deflation ahead as Indians like to share a girl with the 5 of them for the price of 1.

Must be farang. You see, nothing but trouble as mr Anutin stated before.

Are they bright???

Personally, I think the only option is to reopen society and try to deal with the consequences. It has now been shown that vaccines etc. do not work sufficiently to eliminate this virus. And continuing like this for years will cause more damage. It's a choice between two evils.

The mayor said these were numbers expected from the TAT and the tourism sector, perhaps distancing himself slightly from the expectations, notes ASEAN NOW.

Then he is a wise man

I <deleted> told you all in several other threads over the course of the past week;

 

Thailand is being turned into a totalitarian police ran state, those (mainly Thais) who supported Prayuth and the current regime are in for a rude wake up call, yet this is only the beginning.

 

The Thailand we all once knew and cherished is gone, it's dead Jim.

 

In fact it's getting so ridiculous with all these rules and all these "Police officers" everywhere trying to control and enforce nearly every single aspect of your daily life, it starts to feel like China.

Its not only Thailand. Even a "free" country like the Netherlands is chnnging into a totalitarian State. Im afraid will we see this growing all over the world. 

Whats a second hand aircon doing these days?

And this will go on and on and on. Numbers up........numbers down. Another vaccin, another rule. And why do people think tourism will be back on their feet again in any given time? I think that Thailand have to think and work on a new business model.

Prince (formerly known as) could make an appearance though 

I hope he will play "Thieves In The Temple " which is one of his best songs
