bangon04 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 There is no police chief, politician or mayor in the publicity photo op, so maybe they do not fully support him and are waiting to see if he gets a backlash.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be too much information and it's not good the people are too well educated. The plan is to make them ' good Thais ' not necessarily educated ones.

Bkk has areas of extreme mourning as could be expected but it certainly isn't anything like that in my area, definitely no sea of black for example and I'll bet that's not what the junta expected or wanted.

He may have changed his attitude slightly after the story broke but there's no getting away from his initial reaction which had no regard for the students involved and saying the staff has to wear black for a year and the comparison with the children would look funny was a pathetic justification.

Maybe so and Ill applaud that, but hey just admit its a bad idea give them back and move on.....................nope too much face loss, he'd appear much better in my eyes ( not that he cares) if he just said it was a "mistake" PS I work outdoors most days in anything up to 42c heat, 6am to 6pm on many occasions Edited November 5, 2016 by kannot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 TEFLKrabi, criticize, call it what you want, but the reality is that it exposes the ugly truth that most of us recognize.. Scratch the surface ever so lightly and you expose the ignorance caused of decades of under-education and deliberate, if not malicious work to keep the majority of a population half educated, ignorant and dumb. Great way to keep a majority of your people dumb enough to be spoon fed the nonsense that they see on TV everyday of their fairy tale Thailand, but hardly what it takes to rival a South Korea, Taiwan or Singapore. So, here we are; I stay in my Western bubble, occasionally looking in on the country around me, shaking my head with a mixture of disbelief, incredulity and sadness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
