So many English speaking people find it very difficult to learn Thai, so it is not really surprising that so many Thai people find it difficult to learn English. I've been watching this annual reports come out for about 15 years now, and Thailand's ranking has not moved very much overy this time period. -

Is It Just Me, Or Are Thai Staff Getting Ruder By The Day?
are you vacationing or do you live in the area? restaurants are trial and error. when you find good ones with nice staff and/or nice owners, you go regularly and keep giving them your patronage and when you find one with crappy staff, you take the loss. maybe don't order the most expensive thing on the menu when you are trying a new restaurant. -

Is It Just Me, Or Are Thai Staff Getting Ruder By The Day?
some places are like that, some places are ok. I think they just have a bad attitude and are not customer friendly. If that happens I don't go back. -

Man, 32, Arrested for Fatal Shooting at Petrol Station After Hiding in Krabi
UPDATE Picture of arrest. A 32-year-old man wanted for the fatal shooting of a truck driver at a petrol station in Surat Thani has been arrested after fleeing to Krabi. At around 08:00 on 14 February, a team of investigators from Surat Thani police, along with officers from Khao Phanom Police Station in Krabi, apprehended Jakree, 32, at a small hut in a rubber plantation in Moo 7, Na Khao Subdistrict, Khao Phanom District, Krabi. He was wanted for the shooting of Aphirak Rakbuhnga at a petrol station on a bypass road in Makham Tia, Mueang Surat Thani. Aphirak later succumbed to his injuries at Surat Thani Hospital on 13 February. Following the shooting, Jakree fled the scene on a motorbike to a rented room in Khun Thale Subdistrict, where he hid the firearm in tall grass outside a row of rental units. He then called his father, who picked him up in a red Toyota Vios before they fled to Phanom District, Surat Thani. As police intensified their efforts to track him down, Jakree escaped again to Khao Phanom, Krabi, where his parents live. The Surat Thani Provincial Court subsequently issued a warrant for Jakree’s arrest on charges of murder, illegal possession of a firearm, and carrying a firearm in public without a valid reason. In the early hours of 14 February, a joint police force surrounded a house in Moo 7, Na Khao, Khao Phanom, belonging to Jakree’s parents. Officers found his father standing outside, while a legally registered 9mm handgun was discovered on a wooden shack in front of the house. Jakree’s mother was inside. As police questioned the father, he attempted to take photos of the officers and send them to Jakree as a warning. However, police intervened, confiscated the phone, and took him to lead them to Jakree’s hideout in the rubber plantation. There, officers found Jakree sitting inside the small hut and took him into custody. Police later recovered the firearm used in the shooting, along with a spent shell casing, from the grassy area outside Jakree’s rented room. He was then transferred to Surat Thani Police Station for legal proceedings. During interrogation, Jakree confessed to the crime, claiming that he had an ongoing dispute with the victim, who allegedly harassed him and openly expressed his dislike. The day before the shooting, the two had a heated argument. On the day of the incident, Jakree carried his gun in his shoulder bag as he went to work. At the petrol station, while sitting on his motorbike, Aphirak called him over. As he approached, Aphirak allegedly grabbed him by the neck and tried to pin him to the ground. Jakree retaliated by elbowing him, causing Aphirak to fall. He then took out his firearm, at which point Aphirak attempted to grab it. A struggle ensued, leading Jakree to fire a single shot into Aphirak’s abdomen before fleeing. Jakree is now in police custody and faces prosecution in accordance with the law.

States File Suit Claiming DOGE Authority Grant Unconstitutional Feb 14, 2025 A coalition of over a dozen state attorneys general filed a lawsuit in Federal court on Feb. 13 against President Trump, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and its leader Elon Musk, accusing them of “unlawful exercise of power” in taking recent actions to invade Federal agencies, access their tech systems, and curtail their operations. The 14 attorneys general – who represent California, New Mexico, Arizona, Michigan, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington – asserted that Musk has “roamed through the Federal government unraveling agencies, accessing sensitive data, and causing mass chaos and confusion for state and local governments, Federal employees, and the American people.” The suit argues that those actions by DOGE and Musk are unconstitutional because President Trump has granted Musk “virtually unchecked authority” without first obtaining the necessary legal authorization from Congress, and without conducting proper oversight of his activities. The states pointed to the Appointments Clause in the Constitution, which they said strengthens the separation of powers by requiring Congress to create an office before the President can appoint someone to head it, and by giving the Senate the right to confirm any nominee to run it. They safeguards, they argued, were violated by the power granted to Musk and his DOGE team by President Trump. https://meritalk.com/articles/states-file-suit-claiming-doge-authority-grant-unconstitutional/
