Task Force Raids Illegal Childcare Facility Operated by Foreigners on Koh Phangan
It's not just the foreign/western kids that suffer. The informal school for the children of Burmese workers on KP was raided and 4 Burmese teachers arrested (this is the school where I previously taught English and Thai as an 'illegal' volunteer). These Burmese kids can't attend the government school because many of them don't understand enough Thai language. They all want to improve their Thai language skills. The informal school can't become legally 'formal' because they will have to employ 4 Thais for every non-Thai worker, which doesn't really work when you need to speak Burmese to do your job! I can't become a legal volunteer because the volunteer visa is only available for those working for a registered NGO. Ho hum.... stupid catch-22. -

Report Thailand to Verify 700,000 Foreigner-Registered Phone Numbers for Mobile Banking Use
I encountered it when trying to get my BKB unlocked, pointed out the bank app says any branch and just sat quietly. After a while they decided I wasn't going to leave, and just started doing it. I'm an expert in quiet obstinate protest, no need to shout or cause a scene, just sit quietly at their desk and look at them. -

The Left versus Right False Dichotomy, and "The tyranny of contrived opposites"
That is an extremely long winded and verbose way (AI does like to use 7 long words when one short one will do doesn't it?) of saying what I and many others have been saying about politics for a long time; and what much of Europe and many Commonwealth countries have been doing for years. It is exactly the practice which the European countries which emerged from the disintegration of the Soviet Empire adopted. It relies on tolerance, and an ability to see and understand the other fellows point of view, even if you don't agree with it, together with accepting democratic and constitutional constraints; sadly a quality which is in short supply in many places. Acknowledging truth is in the mix as well.
