Nakhon Ratchasima schoolboy fatally stabs peer in jealousy-fuelled dispute

So just their ages that are being misreported or is there anything else incorrect in the article? -
Cabinet To Approve Extra Holiday Leading To 6-Day Break
rbkk replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
My monies on a lot of ATM's running out of cash come Tuesday next week. Do they restock the machines over public holiday's? -
My wife was a licensed ThaiLife Insurance agent. She has various policies that are available to all. She is 45 years old. She pays (Not me!) 3.300 baht per 6 months which covers her for 200,000 baht upon death. 1,690 baht per 6 months for 1,000 baht per night in hospital. She also pays for an extra policy (1,585 per 6 months) to boost the daily hospital stay rate to 3,000 baht per night and this includes 1,000,000 baht for a cancer diagnosis. That's 13,150 baht per year.

Farang can pay in as well. My name has been on the village list for 18+ years of my 22 years in this village. My wife paid 500 baht 'Entry' fee for me to join. The charge per funeral is 20 baht here (Household= 20 baht x 4 pax=80 baht). The fund is currently about 60,000 baht on death. I understand there are no fixed rules and each village can decide (Pooyai Baan) on farang entry to the fund.

Cabinet To Approve Extra Holiday Leading To 6-Day Break
rbkk replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Why, at all of the previous cabinet meetings, has this not been raised before? 6 days notice for a country is just so wrong. I don't know where to start with the condemnation I'm feeling for the lost potential.- 50 replies

Thailand's education system has turned a page and this next chapter we're in is very ugly. Such constant sorrow and death everywhere. -

I'd be very concerned about wind speeds up there during a storm. Particularly in high-sided vehicles. -

Pattalung school teacher investigated for alleged child abuse
rbkk replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
How can you keep your teachers' license after admitting to assauting a 5 year old student? She should not be able to walk away from this and join another school. It's refreshing to see the name of the school, for all to see, plastered across the wall! -
School girl overdoses after allegedly being bullied by classmates
rbkk replied to snoop1130's topic in Southern Thailand News
Bullying is not gender specific and is endemic. Daily news stories of murders, knifings and now overdoses. It makes for very sad reading. Not a word I've seen from the Dept. of Education. Perhaps they missed all the bad publicity whilst there heads were stuck.......(A) up their ar*es. (B) in the sand. (C) glued to TikTok. -
Global gender gap index reports rise in Thailand’s educational attainment
rbkk replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
So therefore the poor have funding available and the rest don't require it because they have the means to pay for the fees themselves without Government assistance. Money/defaulting is not the issue as I see it. Failure is a factor. Edit: The lending criteria for Student Loans were eased recently to encompass more of the population. -

Global gender gap index reports rise in Thailand’s educational attainment

I disagree. To prove my point; Kasetsart University (Largest in Thailand) awarded 12,945 undergraduate degrees but admitted 16,403 new undergraduate students (78.9%). A 20+% 'Failure rate.' Kasetsart University in Thailand - US News Best Global Universities -
Picture perfect scandal: Bangkok governor addresses leaked intimate photos

Why deny it was your birthday party when some significant other has gone to the trouble of messaging you on the plate? "Happy Birthday to My Pt the Chadchart" -
Picture perfect scandal: Bangkok governor addresses leaked intimate photos
rbkk replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Having a second look you could well be correct. Also odd is this...... Quote from linked article: "They are old photos from last May, taken during a birthday party for one of our friends." If you look at the writing on the plate (Twist your head!) It says Happy Birthday and his name (Chadchart) right in front of him. It's his birthday cake. An odd thing to forget.
