Mmmmm any pics?

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I taught for a very large chain of private schools in Bangkok for 10 years and am certain that as soon as school directors/management start considering schools as educational institutions instead of cash cows things will improve dramatically. So much valuable school time and resources are wasted on the school promoting itself with activities such as Open days, Sports days, Parents days etc etc. Whats wrong with for example Sports Days? Nothing is wrong with Sports day. What I objected to was losing my students for the last period each day for 3 weeks so they could practise cheering?? Thats right, 15 hours wasted on looking good for the parents. That is a tiny example of what goes on daily right across the board. Schools also need to pay real salaries if they want real teachers. Some teachers today are earning less today than when I started 20 years ago. Sure there are some bad teachers but in my experience its only a very small proportion, there are many fine teachers out there who are unfortunately hamstrung by the schools. I cant really speak about Government schools but from what I hear the situation is the same. After I retired and moved to Isaan I was offered a job in a local government school. I refused saying I was retired but the director kept coming back week after week with an increase in salary and a reduction in the hours I would need to 'attend'. He finally gave up after he reached the figure they were paying the previous teacher who unbeknown to him, I knew previously. The director had been skimming the teachers salary and couldnt care less what was taught so long as a white face was seen around the school from time to time. Nothing will change.

I warned them to never eat chicken on a Tuesday morning but no, they insisted it was just silly superstition and now look whats happened, som nom nar!!

Not to himself. He is very proud of the millions he has robbed from taxpayers.

The people of the US have failed themselves. How can almost 50% want this incompetent egotistical pathological liar in office, I mean its not like anybody doesnt know.

Too late they have all been eaten in a big omelette.

What a wood-duck! Comes to Thailand, gets caught with an underage prostitute, escapes on bail? and then as if he shouldnt have praise the Gods he got away, has to go home and brag about it while pointing the finger at the police for impropriety!! While telling all in order to show the Thai police as corrupt he is tightening the noose around his own neck as he goes.

And it almost becomes an arguement if you refuse a bag or get laughed at for trying to "save da worl"!!

very obviously so

Is that all that was left when the camera man got there??

This is all just a big show. Yes, they'll all be there at centre stage "grilling" the police hospital reps but of course it will be found that Mr Thaksin truly is too ill to leave hospital and for reasons of privacy the detaills of his ailments will not be released. Furthermore, he must remain in hospital under constant care at taxpayers expense until at least February when, coincidently, he will be pardoned. Next!

They did give a location and showed the team of police required for such risky business. I suppose SWAT were too busy with the umbrella guys.

What are the chances of these machines tearing off arms or legs as we have seen with other machines at the airport?

Surely there's a box of rocks out there somewhere better suited to the job?

What big Kid? We were talking big mouth werent we? Or are you talking about the big kid who had to run away from the last few wars? Yeah I know, you didnt retreat , you just advanced in anotrher direction...the opposite lol!

How in Gods name do you figure that??

No, only towards yanks and only coz they deserve it.

It would be close thats for sure.

No it just means the "bail" money goes up next time.

According to my Thai wife, and she is an expert on everything, even things she doesnt yet know, a black american is a farang because he doesnt come from Thailand nor is he Asian.

yes usually

I heard he even went out and bought an extra gold chain to increase his chances.

I have been taking careful note of all this, not falling in to old traps. I stayed home alone for the last two days, wore a mask the whole time and must have washed my hands a hundred times they look like prunes. I guess Im good for at least a couple of weeksafter that effort!

What we have here is a lack of common sense. Two factors come to mind. 1. The govt is partly to blame for constantly denying people in Thailand have sex. There is a huge sex industry here and there is always a seedy side to red light areas so caution must be taken. 2. Its hard to believe that these Chinese women have no idea what the main attraction is in Nana. I dont think I have ever been anywhere in the world without checking it out in a book or on the internet etc first. I think these women knew exactly what goes on there and were curious or some maybe even looking for a bit of attention themselves. I not saying they wanted to get involved in any way apart from maybe getting looked at or a whistle. And yes they should be able to do that safely, sure! But like the girl raped on Koh Chang recently, she should be able to wander alone or with a guy to a secluded beach without hassles but unfortunately that is not the world we live in.

I agree mate, I was with the National bank, the Commonwealth bank, and Bankwest among others until someone suggested Bendigo. I have been with them now for over 25 years and have not one complaint in all that time. Give them a go.
