Students are starting to realise in large numbers that the education department is the most corrupt ministry in the government and that the vast majority of teachers are either ill-equipped to provide the students the education they need or are just not interested in doing the job and are more concerned about after school private classes to maximize income so that they can buy the new house and new car - It is clear and obvious that quality education isn't available here and that is because the government doean't want bright intelligent young people. it prefers sheep - those who don't question, don't learn and don't rock the boat

Stop the pretence THailand is controlled by a military junta - the so called government and the legislature are bound together like right and left hands
Democracy is a convenient label with no evidence of any activity that could be construed as such
You get the courts to dissolve an oppositional party when youdon't want the population to hear dissent

The liberals and the disadvantaged better prepare for anarchy and civil war if the Democrats win in November because he isn't going to pack his bags - he views himself as king and he is just buying some more support from the Military Complex to maintain his grip on power - this is a reality check and the streets will be paved in blood come the end of year - And the rest of the world must stop sucking up to him Isolate him or another world War is possible Remember the 20's and 30's in germany - same old story Nationalism, Ethnic isolation and power grabbing - same old song

There is no evidence that the death penalty is a deterrant so to use it is a pure emotional response - vengeance which has no place in a society that is caring, compassionate and free of draconian measures - the armed robbery is a response to wanting material things that others have and robbers don't have
Deal with the have nots in a fair minded way and these incidents will become history

this is trotted out every couple of years as a pr exercise - Thai teachers will undermine any effort to improve English in their schools because they can't teach it and they don't want foreigners taking any of the money tree that corruption gives them to buy cars and homes and they refuse attempts to train them - no financial incentive

I agree the strong baht is a big factor but also the powers that be are all ego centric older men who have an arrogance that continues to say we know best with very little economic intelligence other than to feather their own nest - the result is they grow richer buying cheap dollars and businesses drown in debt, stock they can;t sell and a nationalism that denies realty and emphasises Thainess - oh yes corruption the no 1 priority
