Congrats!  Next time go for Gold!

ASEAN Quiz?

 

Another prestigious non-event. It's difficult to see the point of these competitions if the details are not going to be published. Thailand gets a place again in the 3-yearly disabled Inuit whale meat tasting competition. Only Thailand and the National Republic of Inuit took part.

 

It's just as bogus as paying a team of people to trawl the internet looking for honorary doctorates for certain people to impress the public and themselves.

 

Winnie 

and the competition was in THAI only , to give the thai students some advantage over the others

 

just kidding ...

So Thailand came bottom
