They are deemed "Private". Not much difference to curriculum as the are governed by OBEC.
The can accept students from any area in Thailand and are not governed by the rule they must take 60% from their catchment area. They will receive small government grants.
The teachers at private schools do not need to have a university degree in their taught subject. At a school I worked at there were teachers teaching English because they "spoke a bit". Their degree was in something like Social Science.
I can't answer that. However, there will likely be some kind of legislation to deal with it.
William seems OK as does George. The monarchy seems in good hands for the foreseeable future.
Indeed. Not tax payers though. It will cost the treasury. The money will come from funds receive from 85% of the Crown earnings from tax year 2022/2023.

In your, it's difficult to know exactly how long as your story changes from time to time but less say, 5 years on and off in Isaan you have clearly know learned anything about local culture.

Not quite sure what you mean as "semi private" but private schools will generally accept students who can pay.
Entrance tests for good government schools are tougher. Students who fail government school tests generally will end up at a private school, where money talks.
I would try the bars/restaurants/cafes in the areas around the University. Thai students tend to love their football. Should be many places with the football on.
That is a word lost in translation. A word often used in company names of bus companies plying regular routes. The article even says it was a bus on a route from Ubon to Bangkok. The companybrun several routes. Including Phayakaphum Phisai to Bangkok. Check the company website. It's all on there to see.
He's talking about a very small part of the town. Udorn is actually quite large, one of the largest in Isaan. Lots to do if you can be bothered to find it. The surrounding areas are very nice too.
