Popular Post peter48 Posted July 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Great to see Thai gratitude to our fellow national English guy and other international citizens helping at the site. It reminds us that the world is interdependent and we need each other so much. In a uncertain world with the Trump global trade wars kicking off soon ( and harmful Brexit) and likely to cause share downturns and job losses we are all reminded we need each other. Each country has its own skills and benefits and in a globalized world we need each other and we go forward.

Popular Post greenchair Posted July 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'm not understanding why they would pack him off so quickly, since he is 1 of only a handful of people that could cave dive those kids out. I hope it's not a case of you found them, but we want the world to see a Thai bring them out. Seems like the Thai don't know what to do now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think the Thai bashing or your comments for that matter are needed here.

I cannot see his rank being something simple like that, not in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
