Naroge Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Congratulations and well done. Good to see some good news out of the universities. International competition is one way to judge the academic level of the education here. I wish them all the best for their future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sbk Posted July 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2013 Posts overly negative of Thailand removed. I realize that for some it is difficult to actually read positive news out of Thailand so if you find it too overwhelming then I suggest you follow your momma's advice. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
