[Teachers changing their methods: allowing students to learn by doing]

[Prayuth Disciplines Soldier for Arguing With Traffic Cops]

Finally we get there: no matter what color - one helmet(law) fits all.

[Teachers changing their methods: allowing students to learn by doing]

Great news. Eventually the Thais will invent communicative language teaching and critical thinking.

In a slow grown education system based on ethics on both ends, these things will come naturally. Here, first you will have to tear down an old system based solely on hierarchy which will not happen because it works conveniently for educators and those in the Thai society who benefit from the shut up and obey system. How many bosses in the corporate world do you know here that would allow and support critical thinking when it is contrary to the rules regarding losing face?

And these people are qualified to vote...

Let's wait and see.

Congrats! At least one poster seem to have adopted the Thais first rule of handling issues.

[Imposter lady boy arrested]

So what? Not a bad choice for a blind man I guess.

[PM: Measures will be implemented to set lotto ticket price at 80 baht]

Are there any reports about the govt that don't start with " The PM ... " ?

He's the complete one man band and running everything so does he really need the whole NCPO or are they there simply to take the blame if something goes wrong as i don't see him admitting he erred in any way.

The PM, always looks after his people and try to bring happiness to them.

Even with minor issues like the lottery price, it shows his concern for the Thais

Yassu Costas. Are your attendants still not back from their Songkran celebration?

[PM: Measures will be implemented to set lotto ticket price at 80 baht]

80 baht? That's quite dangerous after so many villagers got the winning numbers already from corpses stolen by a holy man.

[National police chief says Samui car bomb gang implicates a former influential politician]

What a great statement from the National Police Chief. It’s somehow like the Pope would have said:

“More than 2000 years ago a woman, which name is withheld, gave birth to a guy who walked on water healed the sick and died on a cross, but it needs further investigation to reveal his name.”

[Second quarter spending to boost employment]

More hawker stalls, street vendors and motorbike taxi jockeys?

If the current relation with the U.S. gets worse, we may even see the political motivated sales of Chicken McNuggets and french fries banned.

Welcome to the Thai new year 2558 1558! (Edited to the actual time the people of this area live in)

[Prayut has a swipe at media in six-month progress report]

There are numerous public relations firms that could do wonders for some people.

He should hire the spin doctors of Austria who made the world believe Hitler was a German and Mozart was an Austrian. However, that would include all efforts to top Thaksin's offer for the job. Maybe Saul Amsterdam would be the right negotiator to reach an agreement.

[Prayut has a swipe at media in six-month progress report]

"There's no country in this world that can have peace with unlimited freedom, meaning freedom should go hand in hand with duty, respect of rights and mutual respect among individuals," he said.

I would probably become his best friend (behind Costas of course) if he would have included two small terms:

respect of HUMAN rights and FREEDOM OF SPEECH

[Pridiyathorn confident Thai economy to pick up in second quarter]

Looks like another "expert" who fell for the ad:

"Forget about expertise and education"

It's a trap!

[Major Education shake-up]

I would have rather seen the entire Ministry and all administrators investigated and prosecuted for corruption. The remaining "educators" should be evaluated for competence, and mostly terminated, not transferred.

The remaining "educators" should be evaluated for competence

...and you believe the two remaining Thais can handle the job properly?

[Authorities know the identity of Koh Samui bomb masterminds, ministers told]

I wonder if they already made the phone calls to ask the suspects to kindly confirm the proposed date and time for their arrest if fits their busy schedule.

[Two corpses stolen from graveyard]

Superstitious beliefs say such corpses can be used for black magic.

Not long and we'll see monks flying on brooms, anyway cheaper than Lear Jets.

The monks in our area would never fly "economy class".....

And only a few of them stay at the Bangkok Hilton...

[TAT promotes tour packages on workdays]

New slogan: This time don't go to sleep and relax on the job - go on a holiday instead, pay for it and do it somewhere else. Sometimes I wish I had a plantation of the same stuff they are consuming.

[Two corpses stolen from graveyard]

I thought they cremate the dead in Thailand.

Haven't noticed any graveyards anywhere I've been.

Only the memorial shrines in the yards of the Wats, that I believe they contain the ashes.

I'm learning something different every day........................

Great for you Costas and now focus on things that matters!

[Prayut asks for understanding from media]

Prayut asks for understanding from media

As a journalist myself, I think the problem lies exactly in the fact that the media understands his intentions very well…

[Thailand’s economic outlook worst in 40 years]

I'm very surprised! Now that the junta adopted the Hellas model of running down a country's economy our Greek expert can't find the way to the keyboard. C'mon Costas give it a try to explain the mess created by your idols.

[Arms deals with Russia in pipeline as West shuns Thai govt]

In a worst case scenario they have a Russian atomic power submarine on their wish list to protect their worthless non-aircraft carrier in the Gulf of Thailand with an average depth of 58 m or 119 feet.

[Songkran tourist arrivals fall short of expectations]

It is about time to create 1000 more inactive posts and dissolve this club of elitist self declared "experts". The TAT is an ineffective, worthless and expensive institution based on patronage. In a corporate world with competitors these clowns wouldn't survive for a month in the tourism industry.
