UN urges Thailand to decriminalise sex work for healthcare access
Would that mean that on my tax return I can now claim sex with a "lady of the night" as a legitimate expense! -

I'm 3 days late with 90 day report. Seeking advice please.
Hi, I'm three days late with my 90 day report. I tried applying on the TM 47 application page and got an acknowledgement email plus a filled-out pdf of the form TM 47. Did I receive the pdf to print it out and take to Immigration Office, or is there a possibility I might get a positive response from the online system, even though I'm 3 days late? Wondering about my next move. Many thanks for any advice/information. -

Thai teacher accused of striking boy’s penis with steel ruler
Why do they say about CCTV? most schools don't have CCTV in the actual classrooms. They have them in the halls but not the classrooms. So, unless the alleged incident happened in the hall or they do have CCTV in this school's classrooms, there wouldn't be anything on CCTV. -

Day-to-day life in Myanmar
Just a few photos to curry interest. I usually teach online all day Saturday, but I'm trying reduce the number of lessons because - to be frank - I'm getting too old to teach all day and then teach in the evenings and all day at the weekends! Also, I don't need all this extra income and this heavy workload reduces my free time for hobbies and charity work. Therefore, I have been culling some of my students whose parents treat my lessons as a baby-sitting exercise, or where the young student has learnt a lot over the years from me, and would probably benefit from a different teacher. It's also a good time to wind down my relationship with iTalki, (where many of my students book my science lessons), because I have almost reached the impressive level of having earned $100,000 USD from my lessons with iTalki. None of my students/their parents are happy with this decision, but I need to be a little selfish here. In any case, it still leaves other students, and their online income over the month is about $1,500, (plus my daytime income, plus my UK pension next June). So, I took a walk to a hardware store where I was able to finally track down the PVC board that I'll use to make sturdy wall poster backgrounds for my day students to draw/create project posters about different aspects of science that they have been learning. I walked past the Red Cross office, who clearly don't want to take sides in the current conflict. Most of the houses have impressive security around their perimetre walls, with barbed wire, electrified wires, CCTV and lights. I do know from my time in Yangon than even 60 watt outside light bulbs would disappear in the night, if they were not locked within a barbed wire mesh. The workers who install the barbed wire are clearly rather skilled at creating something akin to a modern work of art... This (not so great) photo is of a pedalo, something not seen so often nowadays in Mandalay. Many years ago, when living in Yangon, I would take the ferry every Sunday across the river to Dala Township, and then a pedelo would take me the 2km or so to the local monastery where I would teach English. The room was bare, with no electricity, but the students were keen!
