One of my Grandfathers and an Uncle spent their entire career's in The Royal Navy and both used to say the Submariners were a different Breed to other Naval Sailors and just looking around inside a Sub' was enough for most to decide it wasn't a good idea !

How long did it take you to feel like a local in Thailand?
Been here 20 years and i think the Locals are great; we show each other respect and get on with our lives. I find the most ignorant people i meet here are other Farangs !

Thai car sales plunge; luxury market hit amid economic woes
New and Used Cars in Thailand are way overpriced and always have been. This article seems to point to Rich people who can afford a Mercedes needing credit to buy one; doesn't make too much sense to me.

New school year, same old story: Thailand’s education system ‘stuck in the past’
I was recently talking to a Lady Thai Maths Teacher who will retire later this year. When she told me she was a Maths Teacher i said 'Well; i don't mean to insult you perrsonally but after living here for almost 20 years i have yet to meet a Young person who can count lore than the fingers on both hands without the use of a Calculator or Electronic Device ! ' She replied'; ' Well, Thai Kids are generally very lazy and it is not easy to teach them anything that they are not interested in , so we leave it to the Parents to organise additional private lessons if they are worried their Children are not learning enough at School '. Not much hope for the future then !
