This article is Thai tripe about their failed educational system. Thai students and children get no guidance on "prioritizing" tasks and work. .....

You simply copied your post from a few days ago. Your generalisations were already discredited.

Good luck, they have shown warnings on the packs for some reason increases sales!

Sure honey, you are as real as they come!

Remember, Thaksin thinks, Pheu Thai Acts!

But the real point here is not whether we believe her or not. Its whether the Thais do.

Or more importantly whether they even care who is running the country.

basic arithmetic is sadly lacking . surely you noticed how they reach for a calculator in most stores etc..

I was going to mention that. The little store I get my 2-3 cans of Chang from about 4 nights a week (for the last 10 years or so) has the same 2 people working there all the time. Never once have they tried to figure out the price without the calculator. Sad, when a beer is 30 baht each, especially...

Could have happened anywhere. Lots more innocents dying in the USA, why doesn't the UK Ambassador warn people not to go there?

Thai students and children get no guidance on "prioritizing" tasks and work. They have no work ethic or sense of reward for "achievement. They are not driven by achievement success. They are driven by "compatibility" and fraternity with their sakdi na network and pecking order. When it comes to schoolwork they have no discipline, the work has little meaning or application. They waste time and dilly dally about chit chatting and playing games and uploading pictures.

They have never been taught "order" and priority of work tasks. It doesn't mean anything in Thai culture. Homework in Thailand is merely busy work , it is not designed to teach or for students to learn and take interest. Thailand education is a sham and everyone knows it. They are not prepared for adult life. Everyone who knows and understands Thailand knows that the system is broken long before homework is assigned. Assigning homework at any level of volume in Thailand is an exercise in futility.

I think you are way over-generalising here. I've known lazy students, hard-working students and everything in between.

I agree though that too much busy work is given out.

Also, don't hotels check ID cards of Thai hookers?

Shame on the police for allowing the situation to go as far as them being in the room together long enough to get undressed. The guy made a big mistake, bad on him, he deserves punishment for what he tried to do.

I really cannot understand why prostitution is still not legal in Thailand. It happens at such a large scale, at least if it's legal brothels can be regulated and it will also significantly reduce the spread of STDs. Legalization would also destroy the need for such child prostitutes and the need for forced prostitution. The lack of foresight is saddening... sigh...

That would take a huge amt of $$$ out of the hands of mafia, police, village officials.

Was the monk walk the thing that left me waiting in traffic two hours yesterday on Ramindra road?

probably, similar thing caused chaos last year. Said they wouldn't do it again at the time I think.

If they were trying to raise the consciousness of and awareness of Buddhism....well, instead they raised the ire of thousands of poor commuters who worked all day and had to sit in traffic for two hours in what should have been a 10 minute trip.

It's showboat activities like this that reveal how massively big certain Buddhist leaders' egos are....I'm a Buddhist, and daily am confronted by these Buddhist fakers that are just in it for the show.

Can they be sent to Iran or Iraq? Let their Arab fundamentalist brothers take care of them.

Stay aware from any business arrangement with Thais. Buyer beware!

Or, please don't try to rip off your Thai biz partner and flee the country.

Who doesn't believe that this story is all about abuse of power and undue influence in an attempt to extort money from foreigners?

Or maybe he and his friend trashed the guy's house and tried to get away without paying for what they ruined. Might be able to get away with it most of the time, but they ended up fracking with the wrong landlord!

UFPTP?

Now there's a mouthful....

That's because for some unknown reason they rejected the name "Citizens Unite! No Territorial Surrender"

Haha good one.

There are more than 110.000 Rohingya in Thailand already. Rohingya are a demographic and political threat, as most of them are fundamentalist Sunni. It boggles the mind why they cannot find refuge with Indonesia or Malaysia which are muslim countries with together more than 250 million inhabitants.

thanks for saying that, I have been thinking the same for quite some time now....

"He is charged with raping a girl under 13 years old girl who was not his wife"

Just how young can someone be and still get married? Weird!

I like weebly.com. Yes there are ads but lots of addons and it is easy to learn and you can make very nifty looking sites.

format factory - it's free!

It should be the whole book, unless you just ordred the free sample. Get to the end, and if it doesn't seem like it finished completely, then you will know!

Smoking seems like such an archaic practice now. 5 years after quitting, I just don't understand why people smoke any more.
