Dear IMF,

 

You were distracted by discussion on climate change...

 

Thailand English proficiency just slipped for the 3rd consecutive year to 74th, there is no plans for education, and labour skills development is non existent.

 

Oh, and single use plastic will be 2022...and its so far away, we wont do anything until the night before.

 

Thanks you very big. Psyche.

And, oh wonder!! Suddenly the interest rate and the Baht drop!

So far doing great in terms of English teaching. Bet in 5 years Thailand will be the hub of ESL in the world?

Since the Nation couldn't be bothered to tell you the name of the managing director of the IMF, it's Bulgarian economist Kristalina Georgieva. You're welcome.
