Thai women vs "Western" women...
Robert_Smith replied to Aurelien's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I did. and she was like a wizards sleeve in comparison.. regards, bob. -
A friend of mine works in one of the provinces as an english teacher, earning 25,000 baht a month (sad, I know...) anyhow, he is forever complaining that the students never ask him any questions. there is never any dialogue, they just copy whatever he writes down on the board and when he attempts to get them to ask questions and create some form of dialogue, the Thai teachers say this is wrong and is not acceptable in Thailand. Any thoughts? regards, bob.

Thailand will never catch up to the west in terms of economic/social development. They can't even get democracy right! Anyone who thinks that they will eventually be on par with the west in any way, shape or form is dreaming.. Just take a look at their public education system.. Appalling. regards, bob.

Will Thailand always remain a Third World Country?
Robert_Smith replied to Robert_Smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Well it looks like the polls have spoken! The vast majority believe that Thailand will forever remain third world/underdeveloped/whatever adjective you would like to use... I think a lot of it has to do with education and the fact that Thais never like to admit when they are wrong, nor look inward ad the problems they are facing. They would rather just carry on regardless, eating som tum and singing sabai sabai all day long.... regards, bob. -

Thailand can only dream of what Singapore has achieved. They are not even in the same league. Not by a country mile. regards, bob. -

...or why doesn't Thailand try looking inward for once at all their obvious faults and try to better themselves and their nation? Could be a good starting point... regards, bob. -

How about Japan? The USA? Germany? All seem to be doing just fine with large populations and some of the best infrastructure/educational institutions in the world. Now go on, tell me about the US homelessness and drug issues.. regards, bob. -

They need someone like this. Lee Kuan Yew would have dragged Thailand kicking and screaming and turned it into an efficient, economic powerhouse.
