At least this poor Cameroonian was doing something very useful for Thailand, teaching and trying to better future generations.....let him stay 

I know Cameroonians teaching here and don't want my kids speaking like them, I have to ask them to repeat themselves every second sentence.  We had more Camerons teaching.

7 people to catch one illegal teacher. I think the school director should also be arrested for employing and illegal alien.

But if the school director is arrested and he cuts a deal with the police, their might not be anymore school directors in any schools in the province.

Does anyone really believe that thai immigration didn't know this man was working and staying illegally in their area for 4 years?

There are a lot of laughs about this one, but if I get stopped and they can see I'm legal then and there, that's a plus IMO.

and nobody uttered sofar that all these sa-mart systems incl. the sa-mart airport computers and all ATMs in this sa-mart nation still run on the very latest, sa-mart win95 system

Run but we cannot hide anymore....Thia immigration is coming for all of us.  Welcome to the New, more expensive difficult way of life here.

Big Dude is well advised to possibly hire - legally - a foreign driver as Somchai's records in handling vehicles has jacked up the country to Position Number One - worldwide! 


Italians for smart racing, Germans for ultimate driving dedication - spring to mind! 

Sa-mart van is the final straw..

 

im not living in fear of sa-mart-ass

 

im going on flightscanner right now 

 

I’m ouda ere (get it, oud-a here..)

Why do the Many Ex-Pats that comment on Articles like this Respond with So Much Drivel if they Cannot Comment with a Sensible Answer , to What Would Help ? they should Abstain from Comments ????

As for the Smart Van it must also be Equipped with Wi-Fi ?

And why do so many people feel the need to capitalize words that should not be capitalized? And don’t when “they” should at the start of a new sentence .......

Perhaps it's something to do with multi-tasking. An inability to type clearly and drink alcohol at the same time?

Yes, why not? I myself know some couple of Indians'' and who can even express simple passable English and i  had to clean my ears trying to hear what they were saying.

A picture on the Thai Rath site showed immigration officers smiling as a glum faced Mr Teboh held a Nong Bua Lamphu immigration sign.

What else can they  give to hold the detainees for a photo? Hmmm... Let me think...

it may not be just a sign taken from the door. For example, It can be catfood advertisin ("Ja-kin Me-ooo"), or phone a taxi service, or pizza ..

????Think out of the box, don't stop just with van with laptop!!????

That could give the 'smart-IO' the opportunity to examine on-screen details at very close quarters when if an accident occurs and the airbag inflates.

 

Wasn't there a topic last week stating that airbags use nitrous oxide (aka laughing gas) to inflate? It could well be a laugh-a-minute in that case.
