Excuse my ignorance. but i am trying to keep track of all the uniforms in this country..

I am amazed at how many paratroopers there are in Thailand's civil service. They must be a fierce fighting force when it comes to war. It is probably why they were never colonized.

Remember all males have to be ready for "National Service" as we called in in the UK. There is a draw and if your number is drawn, you go in.

Many people wear their insignia when moving to another uniformed job. (Have you seen School Teachers? - Half look like spaghetti on their chest)

But maybe he is a member of the Fire Dept's "Flying squad" (Another English slang for quick response unit)

Furniture with tv alone would cost 50 000,

bathroom with labor add another 15 000.

Actually this is not "Bahts" (plural) it is "Baht's" (apostrophe). The apostrophe is there to show the possessive case in relation to the amount of the damage, which was the subject of the phrase (200,000 Baht's worth of damage).

The grammar was perfectly correct so you can <deleted>.

If English is not your first language, you may wish to check with others before criticizing someone else.

BTW doesn't needs an apostrophe as it is an abbreviation of does not.
