Foreigners recognised as being useful at last !

I hope it filters down through the rest of the establishment !

A good gesture.

What is a Direkgunabhorn?

They should all get free 20 year Thai Elite visas as well. It wouldn't cost much, be a great gesture and good way to get free advertising for the programme. Vern got a George Medal in the UK as well - a real hero with all the others. Good to see Musk disappearing up his where Vern suggested he should put it as well!
