National reform plans and national strategies and Thailand 4.0 and 6-6-4 plans. All these lofty plans and plenty more must make the average Thai person's head spin.

A plan is only a dream until someone actually does something. Therein lies the problem.

Until they pay teachers and policemen a livable wage and make courts politically independent, there will be no progress or reforms.

My ex Thai gf was an English teacher at a vocational high school. She spoke excellent English and was dedicated in her job. But she got paid little and unfortunately was below the line that was drawn where senior teachers were included in the Director's distribution list.  The best she ever got was to go on a few holiday jaunts paid out of the slush fund.

It could not have taken too long, so he must have had a lot of time that day to work on a new poem.

christ. like i said before, talk about reform is just a way to delay reform. think we have all heard enough talk about reform for it to be forgotten about till the next coup.

"In his address to the attendants, ..." Yup, the servants! Attendees would be more diplomatic?  Feudalism is not going to change overnight.

Must have taken at least 15 minutes !    Bet the lunch was good afterwards though.

He's got some front quoting the United Nations
