IMHO it is only about 50 years too late and under the current system I doubt that Thailand will ever catch up, let alone be a leader in ASEAN. Again, IMHO, the whole education ministry needs to be torn up and rebuilt from the bottom up. There should be nobody in charge of anything past the age of 60. All the teachers and directors should be sent back to school and be taught HOW to teach. Any teacher accused of assaulting a pupil should be immediately suspended without pay as should every member of the management staff of the school. If the teacher is found guilty in a court, they should be sacked, forced to repay any outstanding loans to the teachers union and banned from ANY government job.

From a link I saw on the BBC several weeks ago, Zelensky went to the front lines in the Ukraine. The opposite question is how close has Putin got to the front lines, or even when was the last time that he left his bunker to go outside of Russia?

Sometime I think that Makro is centralised ordering, and every so often the central ordering department orders small quantities of a different line and sends it out. If it sells well in a branch it will be reordered, and if it doesn't sell, it will be reduced and never reordered.

Just who defines what is terrorism and decides who is a terrorist? And by what right do they do so?

But it is OK with you if Israel and the IDF slaughter thousands of innocent men, women and children in Gaza

In the RAF, the officers do indeed get the medals in a war, usually posthumously, and also a bag, if they can find enough bits to scrape into the said bag, and with added dirt or sand to give it weight and shape.

But in the EU, the USA and the UK you are still allowed to disagree with the leaders. However in Russia (and to an extent in Thailand) you get exiled or jailed by the government for doing so.

A bit of both there I think. The Latin cogito, ergo sum, usually translated into English as "I think, therefore I am" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogito,_ergo_sum From the Moody Blues a long time ago. the beginning LP. "I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be".

Unfortunately for me my nearest Makro is 65 km from me at Kamphaeng Phet, and I only get up that way about once a month. Since I had a couple of blackouts last year I rely on my wife to drive me.

China doesn't need to invade Thailand. It is slowly buying up the country and there is no collateral damage to clear up either.

I have just watched this video and I want to try it but I can't find the recipe or the cooking instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL56Amt5RQs

I have made some Cornish style pasties with Thai veggies and cooked them in the air fryer and they came out OK. I couldn't find swede so I used the Thai vegetable that looks like a carrot, but it is white and a bit bigger. I have copied some scone recipes from this link that I want to try later this month. https://www.farmersgirlkitchen.co.uk/air-fryer-fruit-scones/

Did the pork pies have hot water crust pastry? I used to make them but my table top oven has died. I must try again using the air fryer. They are great with Colemans mustard.

Why not ask Putin, who started the war in the first place, and should be responsible for ALL the rebuilding costs?

I call them grammar nasties. They always want to feel superior to everybody else. If you can read and understand what is written, that is good enough. No one is perfect, though the nasties always believe that they are.

Just looking at that photo brings tears to my eyes

They haven't rebelled in Russia yet and their masters have gone far to far.

Not correct at all. Parts of Thailand are horrendously expensive and parts are relatively cheap. It all depends on what you want, how much you want, and what you are willing to pay for it.

There is only one poll that matters, and that the election poll where ALL US citizens vote and not just a random? few.

Nobody says you HVE to have empathy. If you don't want to help another human being then don't. From your posts, you obviously don't want to help. It might be you one day. But please don't pontificate about foreigners coming to scam poor Thais when you have no idea why people are begging without knowing anything about them.

And even less on this forum in the last few years.

Thank you for at least making an effort to help another human being and not instantly condemning them without asking or knowing their story.

Thank you.

I have been conned once, shame on me. This guy was very good. He stole my Face book account and even diverted 2 or 3 of email accounts of my friends. It took me 5 months to find him out. He wasn't that smart though because he tried it again a year later using the same name and account. He was himself, 2 of my friends, his boss, he was also a famous lawyer in the USA. What tripped him up was when he became a female FBI agent and gave me her email address as well. Unluckily for him I spoke to some real FBI agents at the US embassy in Bangkok and they gave me some useful information. Other than that he was very very good.

Really? Are you Thai and a "concerned netizen".
