Well done , kids. In a world in which fewer students are choosing maths and science, your skills will be in high demand ; your achievements in this competition are applauded.

Thailand also got three gold medals at the recent international math olympiad. Actually the whole team did well, as they usually do. People who know about the IMO will know that getting gold medals, or even getting any points at all, is very hard, and the team should be proud, as should the physics team in this article.
