Remark from the country side.

Freedom of religious pratice is on side. I agree with the author.

The other side is to proclaim the benefits of Tambun against the Teaching of the Buddha.

This is cheating the people in the name of the Buddha.

Fact: In my village professional tambun collectors make the round for a (moderate) Dhammagai temple.

Good english, but they tried to involve me, even knowing that I am associated to Budhhist Wat (Buddhdassa lineage)

Sabbe dhamma anatathit!

My "kill"

Yes or no?

They run away.

Soviet/Nazi style abuse of procedure to harass and bully whilst cloaked in legality. A disgrace. It happens all over the world an is used by police and bureaucrats alike. A new low for this regime but there will be more abuses of a wider range of people. Every day she is looking more and more heroic and dignified. It is no wonder that the people's admiration of her is genuine and not enforced by dictate and law. This is how SLORC used to bully and browbeat Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma. But even they did not resort to the sexual slander and sexist abuse used by the yellow shirts to attack the then Prime Minister of Thailand.

Copy of Thaksin?

Yes they better be very concern, she may be up their trying to form a Army or smuggler military arms to the Red Rebels in the area.

Oh yes, Mango Bob, your are right. Her clan did it already in the North

Let her go.. Take her assets in Thaiand. Free Lady ..... in Dubai, Montenegro, Simbabwe, Antarctis...

You are right. I promote in my rural country the use of brown, organic and so on rice in a mixture of 30% with the common used white rice.

My neighbours didn't accept at the beginning (high price), but now they say, all has better taste and we are "im" quickly

Why should she even attend!

Her accusers and her judges have no legal status.The coup was illegal and by his own words Suthep and the general conspired months before the coup took place.

The generals and the junta open disdain of the Shinawatras is out in public for all to see so any decision handed down to anyone should be treated for what it is.

Worthless!

Yingluck will not be present to defend herself. We have already have a stuttering parrot here.

The Thai Govt,most likely did not know what was going on,and

if the slim chance they did,did not care.

The prison in Thailand was not a secret, only the tortures, Poland accepts already this explanation.

Good idea, the Bavarians learn to speak German, Lana People to speak Thai, Cockneys to learn the Queen's English, Thaksinistas to learn Dubai Arabic......

He has Elefantiasis in his leg, caused by "bullflies" , sucking the blood of small injuries. I had it, normal antibiotics don't work. a good pharmacist gaves

me the good medecin,

This guy developped a job for survive.

Chalerm can learn from him.

The cheap fish sauces see only a fish, when the aquarium of the factory is in the production place.

The pollution of one fard (beer fards even higher) for the environment is three times the value of one cigarette .

Koh Tao Ban for fards is my option.

Wait, they will put in the Donut.

In Dubai is an investor who loves all Thai. Give him the possibility to save Thailand.

Chalerm, the best future teller of Thailand, already gave this advertisement.

flagator96- a good post. I continue concerning th Teaching of Adjahn Thanissaro.

Basic religion of mankind is animism/shamanism - worldwide.

There is the Authentical Buddhism and the Cultural (historic) Buddhism, because Buddhism has the power of integration/assimilation.

Superstition is part of the basic religion. In Thailand it's apparent. Something went wrong with this assimilation.

Farangs buying fake products in Thailand because they have a holy brandname (Rolex, the pimps clock) etc. are not far away.

Astrologues in Europe make a good business too.

Thing about.

People always learn the bad words first! Best way to learn a foreign language haha

Right!

The best bad word to learn a german language is " Scheisse" (shit is the castrated word).

40 years ago I was in a welcome commitee of the Goethe Institute for Asean students to learn German in a 3months

course. A Chinese from Indonesia felt down of his seat in the reception ceremony.

A loud answer was his reaction: Scheieieiesssseee.

I helped him to stand up and congratulated him on his good pronounciation of German.

You are Mandarin Chinese? Yes.

I wish you good luck.Only Mandarin Speaker can pronounce correctly : Scheisse!

You can learn German.

Year after year after year...we hear the same old tune about the education system here. Its funny in a sad kind of way. Thais love to call anyting they consider unfashionable or stupid as being 'Laos'......How ironic this is then.....

This REALLY needs to be sorted out NOW! I am working at a government school at the moment......not for much longer because I have had it! Thai schools are, in the main a joke. Thai teachers are dinosaurs that are still using teaching techniques that come from 1937. I often walk past the Thai teachers classes and more often than not they are sitting on their backsides with NO interaction with students! They simply write a load of info on the board and the kids copy it.....after that thier job is done!!!! I would be ashamed to teach in such a way. I feel it is my job to try and engage the students, interact with them, get them questioning me. I am the odd one out it seems.

The head of English at my school is a lovely lady that has a Masters degree in English. I often have to speak Thai with her as, if I dont, she wont understand what I am on about! Unfortunately this is common here. I have only met a handful of Thai English teachers that can actually have a conversation past the level of a 5 or 6 year old. I have to 'teach the teachers' sometimes and guess who are the ones that dont show up???!!!! You guessed it....the Thai English teachers!!! Why? Because its such a MASSIVE loss of face for them to be in a room with a native speaker.....I mean, what if I ask them a question? If I do everyone will see that the reality is that they CANNOT speak English!!! They are the teachers that most need to be there when I am 'teaching the teachers' What hope do the kids have? They see me once a week, twice if they are lucky. The rest of their exposure to English is through these numpties that cannot do their jobs properly.

I am looking forward to AEC opening. Thailand is slowly but surely starting to wake up to the fact that its not the centre of the universe. Its starting to realise that its not looking too good in comparision to its other ASEAN friends. It could go either way, but I am a bit cynical. I think Thailand will do what it always does, it will sweep things under the carpet, it will withdraw from a fight on a level playing field, a fight in which it will most surely ge a very bloody nose. AEC will be just a name, the Thais will find a way to get around all the horrible new rules that will show them up. It will be AEC on paper only. In reality nothing will change. The nepotism that is the cause of so much incomptence here will stay. The sad thing for Thailand is that talented people get cast aside by others with connections, or money. I have so many lovely and smart students in my classes....but so what? The system is against them. I just cannot see this place doing what is required to enable it to really, I mean really compete with places like Singapore. I hope I am wrong.

Am I being cynical? After reading headlines for years and years about how the educations system needs to change...and nothing happening...yes I am being cynical. I think the answer to the problem is clear. If you want an education.....go to Laos!

I agree. I'm English Teacher (no work permit, but Buddhist volunteer ) in a Hill Tribe school. My students (Hmong, Karen, Lisu and Thai) after

one year have a basic knowledge of English and how to use it. Good pronounciation, learning by doing (fish farm, garden, herbs).

I'm supported by the foundation of Princess Sirindhorn as part of intercultural learning.

Not oly in the hands of Thai.

A black day for justice in this Country.

And for your competence to judge.
