<keep going.......>

I didn't say it has been... but fact, Thailand rolled over, onto its back, and allowed the Japanese in, which enabled Japan to capture Singapore, the enslave Allied soldiers, Thai nationals and Burmese to build the Thai Burma railway... many died.
This, in fact, broke the timeline of friendship, between Britain and Thailand, you can spin it anyway you like... but the friendship, as per my comment, and the article, was broken, so 170 years is total BS, and an insult to all those who suffered, and especially those who where "murdered."

Are you mad? Such nonsense.  Maybe your family supported Nevil Chamberlain and wanted to surrender to Hitler? Try researching The "Red Door" plan of 1944.

your comment is irrelevant , and completely nasty... I do not know why the mods allow it.

While Thailand was never occupied by a Western power like the U.K. it still ceded land to the British and French. Meanwhile, the economy is run by Chinese immigrants.

So yes on an overcast  non sunny day  which are the norm in UK the output would be dismal compared to a sunny day,  a few days in a row of dismal weather and your batteries would be drained (get out that treadmill again)

You are perfectly free to believe what you want, doesn't make it fact, they speak for themselves.

My daughter in law's parents live on the outskirts of Sheffield and have had solar panels on their roof for many years.

Every year they have a holiday from what they make selling the excess energy back to the national grid.

The transformation is very slow though.

Compared to who?

The low income earner cannot change their life style as quickly as a high earner.

The Thai GDP  is about a sixth of the UK, do you really think that the UK is improving the infrastructure 6 times faster than Thailand.

To be honest I haven't seen any school with solar panels so far.

Try the AI

 

Several Thai schools, including Saint Dominic School in Bangkok, are implementing solar energy solutions, with initiatives like installing rooftop solar panels and training programs for teachers and students on renewable energy. 

 

Here's a more detailed look at Thai schools and solar energy:

• Saint Dominic School (Bangkok):

  This school has installed 816 solar panels across three buildings on campus for energy conservation and training. 

   
• Green Schools Project:

  A project involving businesses, UNESCO, and the Ministry of Education aims to install rooftop solar systems in secondary schools, train teachers and students on green energy, and empower students at technical and vocational institutions with hands-on photovoltaic system experience. 

   
• CKPower's Initiatives:

  CKPower has initiated solar panel installations at two schools near its power plants, and helps set up renewable energy funds to support long-term equipment maintenance. They also provide CKPower volunteers to share knowledge on renewables and natural resources. 

   
• Net-Zero Energy School Case Study:

  A case study in Thailand demonstrates the feasibility of using solar energy and hydropower to drastically reduce diesel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. 

   
• Green Communities:

  The project supports public libraries and learning encouragement centers with renewable energy and mobile digital education programs, including training on green energy and cybersecurity. 

   
• Rooftop Solar Potential:

  Recent changes to Thailand's Factory Act remove the requirement to obtain factory licenses for solar rooftops, making it easier for businesses to install large-scale solar rooftops and acquire electricity under corporate PPAs from solar rooftop installations. 

   
• Solar Power in Thailand:

  Thailand's total installed photovoltaic capacity reached 4.05GW at the end of 2022, with a significant increase in 2022.
