rookball Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 i had noticed there are many students wearing a huge tags made of cardboard or some sort, any idea what is that? im guessing name tags but why are they wearing it when they are out in shopping malls, street markets etc i could understand if they are needed to wear that in school but why is it so big and why do them wearing out of school as well? are they required to wear it at all times?

AnotherOneAmerican Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) The new University year has just started. For the first few weeks they wear name tags so all the class (and teachers) can see their names. None of that 'what was your name again?' Useful for us too Nong Lek, Nong, Lek, kit khun suay mak, gin cow ru yang? Striking up conversations with uni freshers, Thailand is a wonderful place.

p_brownstone Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) It's one of the more silly "Hazing" rituals demanded of new Students by their "Seniors" at the start of the new University year. I live next to Srinakarinviroj University in Soi Asoke, Bangkok and this nonsense goes on for a couple of weeks, I can't walk down the Soi without these Juniors being obliged to greet me with idiotic phrases - just part of the great Thai educational experience preparing them for their future role as Burger flippers.

Apparently you did lose your virginity, but some one found it and glued, nah cemented it back on ... such is life in Thailand! . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 The tag has the name and address of the Uni they are attending, just in case they forget it over lunch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
