I like Trump's attempt: 'Thighland.' Or Lieland. Or Pie-in-the-Skyland. -
The real reason he continually fails to sort this problem is his brother-in-law is contracted to replenish Pattaya beach. Next up the mayor is going to sort out the laws of gravity.

Chonburi prison investigated over bribe complain

There's not a single area of Thai life that is not open to corruption; even the temples. -
Attended an abortive AZ clinic in Pattaya yesterday. (It was for Thais.) We were turned away at 10 past opening time (9am) because they only had 500 doses! When will Anutin realise that no-one wants his lucrative Chinese rubbish?

85% of teachers must be vaccinated before schools reopen
mikebell replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Good luck with that figure. Educated Thais have already recoiled from having the Chinese vaccine (so beloved of Anutin!). I attended an abortive attempt in Pattaya yesterday for the AZ vaccine. They were turning people away well before opening time time (9am) as they only had 500 doses! No wonder Chonburi is closed for business. -

Thai Education Ministry Plans to Tackle Teachers’ Debts Nationwide
mikebell replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Not for what they do. They are petty dictators in class; inflicting knowledge rather than imparting it. I did 39 years at the chalk-face in UK. Thai teachers would not cope with the work load for two days. Naturally I have taken a keen interest in Thai education matters; 'guest-starring' in a local school and overseeing a 'niece' who lived with us. I despaired of checking English homeworks because of the teacher's mistakes. A typical homework was 'cut & paste everything you can find on French Impressionists; print it out on your own printer.' A week later the 25 page assignment was returned with a single letter grade (A-) not withstanding a totally fictitious painter invented by me which I had inserted, devoting three paragraphs to a certain Alphonse De Gaulle. -
Thai Education Ministry Plans to Tackle Teachers’ Debts Nationwide

Thai teachers should learn to handle money. They have a sense of entitlement way beyond the job they half do. All the above plans usually boil down to writing off the debt which teaches them nothing so they repeat. -

How hard can it be to stop speeding? A few cameras ... oh, and a police force! -
