And now....she's a Senator and has has already been reported, she's not going anywhere:)) It's hilarious that these people can even get into high positions....but a Senator...?

Thammanat of course, a convicted and jailed criminal, is having a blast being in government....and no doubt this lady will also. Will she actually attend the Senate?

Thammanat has a degree from the same university.

Even if Deputy Agriculture Minister Thammanat Prompao’s doctorate degree from a university in California is fake, it does not disqualify him from being a cabinet minister, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngarm said today

It would take about 15 minutes to find if credentials are legit or not, and that includes time for coffee.

Also not uncommon for rich and powerful just to hire someone to do all the course work for sponsor

Even if it was legit a 'degree' in Business Admin really maybe can do some filing at Gov. House. Or what was the other one a Skin specialist ? handy for the reptiles there too.

In Thailand, you can pay a teacher to write your masters degree paper you can pay your way to school without ever probably having to do anything other than just pay TIT

I worked at an international school in BKK where they changed the policy to one in which students CAN fail, but then they had mandatory summer school, attendance not required, and a guaranteed pass... for a significant summertime "tuition".

Just another manifestation of the Thai obsession with status.

When hiring, I always used to drill down into a couple of specific points about a candidates' higher education. Something along the lines of:

 

Why did you choose your thesis / dissertation subject?

How did you....

What did .... involve?

 

Just stick to one or two points and drill down on them based on the answers to the previous questions. You don't need to know anything about the subject, but it will become apparent very quickly if the candidate does.

 

If they don't, either the qualification is BS, or they didn't learn anything and so the qualification is still BS. Even asking about nighlife on campus, the best Chinese restaurant near the university or the name of the Dean's dog can very quickly tell you if they are legit or not.

A recent scandal involving senatorial candidate Keskamol Pleansamai has shone a spotlight on the thriving market for fake academic degrees in Thailand, revealing the country's deep-rooted obsession with academic titles

It's all about status, not substance.

Thailand is all about fake after-all

In this part of the world, it's called being smart.

If you want to get ahead get a degree.... in Thailand that's easy

You can go the Rajhabht no fail way... but have to attend University.

Or just go buy one from the many sources.

You were at a middle to low tier international school if you experienced that.

Interesting take, factually that Uni has a 50% fail rate

Depends on the degree/subject.

I have Thai people living around me with truck loads of 'Degree's' according to them but the majority of them and a lot of other Thai's i meet are actually well behind others in this part of The World.     

 

General Knowledge...Zero,  Common Sense....Zero,  Accountability....Zero,  Responsibility....Zero, very few seems to be aware of what's happening around them and just seem to live in their own Little World where they are Legends in their own minds !

No, it was "one of the top schools" (at least, according to their literature).  /s

Am surprised they do not add the minister of agriculture. In Thai news they are saying he has the same degree from the same place. California University FCE which is not a real school. I would guess that if they make a case and press charges against this Senator then they also must go after the Minister of Agriculture as well. Since I do not see that happening to the Minister, then I also do not see anything happening to this Senator other than being dismissed.
