How Serious Are Thais About Buddhism?

[Felix Lynn]

On the next Thailand Today,

Dr. Jim Wellington a graduate of Cambridge, and long time student of Thai culture, discusses just how serious Thais are about Buddhism:

“…to be Thai is to be Buddhist. To be Buddhist is to be Thai, but in name. All Thai people are born Buddhist in name, but whether they actually practice it, or how they actually practice it, is another thing…”

We also catch up with a native English teacher hired with 250 others in Nonthaburi as part of an ambitious government project to flood the Kingdom with English teachers.

“…I think the idea is good in practice. It may not get the results it wants because there are so many non-native English speakers…”

And more details emerge on the assassination of a Dutchman in Pattaya, on the next Thailand Today, each weekday at 3pm, 9pm, 3am, and 9am, only on http://www.radiobangkok.net

So you actually have real live interviews on today's show? You mean it's not going to be just your blathering on and on. You really know how to disappoint a guy.

Sorry h90, if you felt misled.

The "On Friday's Thailand Today" sub-title is an indication that the thread is a program announcement for Thailand Today. These are just weekday program posts to let folks know what's coming up on the show. Hope you can tune in!

So Neeranam, is that a compliment or a dig? I'll take either. And yes those are real live interviews on today's show but I do get some blathering in myself.

I know you take compliments or digs like a true professional.

I enjoyed your latest blatherings today.

Felix - perhaps an interview with Neeranam is in order?

About as serious as Italians are about Catholocism.

Felix, I don't know what two blatherers on at the same time would do to your ratings.

Looks like it is holding an invisible Hippo by the hair and spanking it....

How about an interview with Pandit. That would be interesting.... Now there is this electric cosmos theory ......
