A very broad statement. There are many areas in both provinces you mention that are poor.

Overseas Police Clearance
youreavinalaff replied to youreavinalaff's topic in Teaching in Thailand Forum
A sensible, informative reply. Good to see. Thank you @Smokin Joe. -
Has anyone attempted to get an overseas police check from Thai police whilst living outside of Thailand, for a teaching job overseas? Thanks.

According to official data from Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency, in the 4 years between 2011 and 2014 there were 746 terrorist attacks in Europe. Of these, only eight were religiously-inspired, which is 1% of the total. But even the perpetrators of these acts were not all Muslim. In 2013, there were 152 terrorist attacks in Europe. Only two of them were “religiously motivated”, while 84 were predicated on ethno-nationalist or separatist beliefs. Between 2006 and 2010, member states recorded 2,131 terrorist attacks in the EU and only eight were “Islamist”. That means Muslim terrorists were responsible for a meagre 0.3 percent of EU terrorism during those years. The Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) documented 2,400 terrorist attacks in the United States from 1970 to 2012. Of these, approximately 60 were carried out by Muslims. In other words, approximately 2.5% of all terrorist attacks on US soil between 1970 and 2012 were carried out by Muslims. This is a tiny proportion of all attacks. An FBI study looking at terrorism committed on US soil between 1980 and 2005 found that 94 percent of the terror attacks were committed by non-Muslims. https://columbanird.org/muslims-are-not-terrorists-and-neither-are-most-terrorists-muslims/

They would probably not survive. Especially when coming across wild elephants. -

"Return them to the wild". Most, if not all, of the elephant at sanctuaries snd in the villages have never been in the wild. They were born where they are now. -

Who said that? More barstool chat, I guess. You need to go drinking somewhere else. You hear, imagine, some strange things. -

I don't recall mentioning lions. No need for me to ask myself anything. I did, however, ask you 5 questions. As yet, unanswered questions. -

" animals bred for human enjoyment"? Isn't that a contradiction? Are there no wild horses? Aren't horses historically wild? You do know that the majority of elephants in the shows and on the streets have been born in captivity, don't you? -

With many of the forests, the elephants natural habitat, cut down, the only real alternative is euthanasia. Is that what people want? It's not what the mahouts want. Most of the experiences I have had with elephants and their mahouts have been good ones. The elephants have been in the lower Issan area, predominately Surin, for centuries. The Gui people being the original mahouts. Maybe it is the humans that should move away from the elephants' territory. Don't forget to release the buffaloes, dogs, horses and any other animals that might be deemed "domesticated" on the way out. -
You have obviously not kept up. I'm not saying there is not a difference However, for entertainment value it's good to watch. No laying on the floor crying over a scratch, no arguing with the referee, no acting like prima donnas. Anyhow, it seems your link points to an exhibition match.
