Where do you start on neglect in Thailand regarding kids. No helmets on kids on the front of motorbikes. Snacks sold in schools filled with sugar, salt and MSG. Kids running around busy streets while the parents play on their phones. How many kids die in minibuses each year when the useless, lazy driver doesn't bother checking inside before locking up? Could go on and on and on. The cause, problem and fault lies with the parenting, government, and education system.

90 day ban is going to stop people driving then. Take away the idiots that deserve this the most there are 1000s of Thais that literally cannot earn a bean without driving. Without taking their motor away you'll not keep them off the roads. Laughable lawmaking yet again.

No they wouldn't. In the UK if people know you're from Thailand your Thai. China Chinese, Japanese etc Certainly wouldn't be called out as Asian on TV. Thai food, Chinese, Japanese..not Asian food. The list goes on and on. Aharn Farang. No differentiation attempted at all. Total ignorance and bliss. We call Germans, Italians, Dutch by their nationality not European. If you called someone from New Zealand an Aussie and found out it was wrong you'd never do it again. Whatever its roots and connotations it should change in this day and age considering the volume of different nationalities here. I've heard elderly people call people derogatory names out of naievity. No offense meant but doesn't mean it shouldn't be stopped. Totally wrong.

The UK is an absolute joke for laws and no order. He shouldn't see the light of day again. Prison is claimed to rehabilitate. How do you cure a person's sexual urges? I'm straight, if that was outlawed tomorrow you'd never cure it. How is he ever going to stop doing that? They need to be put out of the way of kids forever. No idea how that could happen other than killing them but they shouldn't be allowed near the public however that's done. 18 months for a serious threat to children. Complete joke.

Great post. I imagine they avoid Thai university nonsense in which students are taught nothing but grammar by people who know nothing about grammar and end up scared to try and speak English.

True but if they book everything it means less room for Bangkokians who have taken over every public holiday. Whilst I've no issue with any of them personally, the traffic is horrendous. Bottom line is, Pattaya isn't set up logistically to deal with crowds. Every major road is being dug up and deserted. Give me a chain of full buses over 1000s of additional cars double-parking wherever they see fit.

Exactly. They keep themselves to themselves.

I agree. As a Brit, I can honestly say that the new breed of Brits speak <deleted> English. Americans in my opinion do speak clearly...however, check your post for errors. Thais not thais. Scots not Scotts. am American... American English.

Exactly. It's completely useless outside of Thailand.

Because he is the only hampsum man in the bar.....

From what I read somewhere, prisoners who are in for hurting their parents get worse treatment than pretty much everyone. Let's hope so.

I've heard that you now need to do a QTS course to get a license if you graduated after 2019, even with an education degree. Is that true?
