Authority is drummed into young Thais at an early age, and they grow up loving to have that authority over people, you can see it everywhere you go from the whistle blowing security guys in the car parks, to the Lt Gens, Lt Cols and Major Gens in the Police force with all these medals and coloured ribbons. The way the bosses in Banks, Immigration Offices etc, all make up their own rules and their staff have to dance to their tunes, all these different visas that keep changing all the time, and we have to dance to their tunes. This is not Thai bashing or complaining, I can't help laughing at some of them. I just find it funny to see them all so full of themselves.

My understanding was that they are suffering a shortage because they refuse to pay nurses a living wage. But it's true this kind of "training" has been around for long time. I read about it 40 years ago in an autobiographical account of a guy who came from a poor country area to Bangkok as a kid and worked his way up through the civil service to a province governorship. In his description of the orientation training for a new nai amphoe, he described training for parachute jumping, hardly something most nai amphoes do in the normal course of their duties.

Is that the blaze they are complaining about in the picture! ****in pussies! I've had bigger bar-b-q flames! Can you just imagine a few live rounds, a bit of teargas and a couple of stun grenades to top off the training ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhys Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Now that the DI have run out of recruits, they turn on their own medical professionals. Following a regulation or policy blindly, makes you a good soldier? Scared straight does not work on the Thai Psyche.... Professionalism? If the powers at be are so concerned about discipline, honor, duty and physical fitness... start with those problem vocational schools, oh that would mean effort, and this group would most likely not comply... Good try powers at be, now work on the on-going flooding issues in BKK.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lungnorm Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 What a load of crap. There is no need for this type of training. They will scrap it as soon as the injuries list gets long enough. Thailand is not even at war. Even if it was Doctors knowledge and skilled hands need all the protection they can get, and not be exposed to possible injuries just to satisfy the idiots at the top.
