The locals are fed up with the annoying tourists.
Once again... the provocation couldn’t be more blatant if he lit it on fire and waved it in our faces. Yet another feeble routine to stir the pot, thinly disguised as ‘informative posts’. It’s laughable, really, if there weren't so many others who can't see through this facade. Whether it’s an anti-Farang jab, a snide swipe at the Brits, or a deliberately needling remark about Israelis, it’s never about genuine discussion. It’s calculated. It’s transparent. And it’s tedious. Nothing he posts comes from a place of real concern or interest - just the same old weaselly tactics, engineered to spark outrage among anyone gullible enough to take the bait. This is another thread that is only about provocation, against the Brits... he didn't get an early enough bit so he 'threw' Israeli's out there too.... I'm surprised he gets away with it. -

Foreign teachers being asked / forced to teach their Thai colleagues
I taught and even got a degree and can assure you I don't have a back pack. Spending cash a job to add to your CV and giving back are all reasons to teach -

Crime Woman Initially Thought to Have Died from Covid-19 Found to Be Murdered
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post In a shocking turn of events, a woman thought to have died from Covid-19 was actually murdered, according to police investigations. Dokmai Praditja, 50, was found dead in her bedroom in Ban Samphaniang village, located in Non Daeng district, with her relatives initially attributing her death to the coronavirus, as she had recently tested positive for the disease. Pol Col Paibul Khunkham, chief of the Non Daeng police station, disclosed that the absence of visible signs of struggle initially led relatives to believe Covid-19 was the cause of death. However, an autopsy conducted at Non Daeng Hospital revealed strangulation marks on Dokmai's neck, indicating suffocation as the true cause of death. Further examination at Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital uncovered broken ribs and a head injury, confirming that Dokmai had been murdered. Dokmai lived with her husband, her 78-year-old father, who suffers from hearing impairment, and her son, recently moved to her former husband's house due to her Covid-19 diagnosis. Remarkably, her 43-year-old husband, Thanawat Panyanam, was in Yasothon province assisting his mother with rice farming during the time of her death. The gruesome discovery was made when Dokmai's former husband arrived to collect school uniforms for their son and found the house locked from the inside. After enlisting the help of relatives to break in, they discovered Dokmai's body lying face down with crossed ankles. Samarn Praditja, Dokmai's sister, recounted the family's discovery of the body, while Thanawat expressed his disbelief, stating he had recently spoken to Dokmai on general topics, unaware of any imminent danger until notified by her relatives. As of now, the police have interrogated 15 individuals related to the case and have identified three primary suspects. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities determined to find those responsible for Dokmai's tragic murder and bring them to justice. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-06-16 -

Foreign teachers being asked / forced to teach their Thai colleagues
Foreign teachers have become passe over the last 4 or 5 years. The demand for native speakers has softened at many schools as it is cheaper to hire a Filiino teacher at a lower salary; moreover, the Filipinos do not complain or make demands on Thai magangement. This would also apply to government schools as the savings on salary will find a pocket somewhere. The pocketbook issue will outweigh the merits of having a native speaker. Please let me know if I am off base but I have been in Thailand awhile and this seems to be the case and I am convinced that what I say here is rule rather than exception. I do make an exception of course for international schools or some of the elite private schools where tuition is very high (part of the expense is the cost of higher salaries for native speakers). Contracts are merely a show piece presented to immigration officials for visa extension. There really isn't the issue of "The large print giveth and the small print taketh away." Many of the contracts are unclear and virtually enable the employer to do as he or she pleases. Finally, if you have a problem with a private school your embassy will usually not help you.
