  1. I posted this on another thread a long time ago, about the Liverpool vs Man U match. I went to the liverpool vs Thailand game, in 2015. It was 800 Bhat if I remember correctly. Same stadium. I still have the ticket. So,4,000 Bhat for the cheapest ticket now, seems crazy.
  2. Hi, Guys, I was considering doing this in August. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it hills or flats, etc? I https://www.facebook.com/bikeracenongpruecity2022 Thanks
  3. Thaksin. Thaksin's sister. Thaksin's daughter. Thaksin's chauffeur. Thaksin's gopher. Thaksin's ghost. (eventually) Can't someone else have a go?
  4. As a Liverpool fan, I will not be going. Far too expensive. I still have my ticket from 2015, where they played a Thai Premier League, All-Star team. At the same venue. I think I paid 800 Bhat for that.
  5. Wow! Simply amazing.... Only a few days ago, they were saying it's not our business and would not condemn the invasion. Now it's a grave concern. No sincerity what so ever!
  6. As a current teacher in Thailand , I can only offer you my opinion regarding my experience at my school. Online teaching for my colleagues and I has been an absolute disaster. Not because we have not prepared or we are not familiar with our platforms we are using, solely because of the students attitude to learning. I have regular classes of 30 -60 attendees, I am not joking when I say, if I have 4 student who participate, I am lucky. This is the same for my colleagues, Thai and foreign. The students log in to the class and they are not heard of again, They refuse to turn their camera on or their audio. Just log in to attend. We have regular marking sessions of their work online, where we go through the answers and answer any questions. Nope! They don't do it! Any tests and quizzes which are only live for an hour, then taken back down again so it's difficult for them to cheat, they don't attend. With no excuse at all as to why not. Right now, we are preparing for next week's end of semester and school year tests, the big ones. My school has already told me that all students must pass, even though I have never seen them, they have never done any work and if they do the exam or not. All I see are excuses as to why they don't want to do anything when I read articles like this. There are many dedicated teachers, Thai and Foreign, trying their best under vary difficult circumstances all over Thailand. My eyes have really opened to the attitude to learning here, this past two years.
  7. This is just my personal experience/observations only. I have lived in Bangkok since 2003. I have owned, rode and driven cars and motorcycles all of that time. For a few years ,I was constantly stopped in either car or bike ( rightly or wrongly ) and always ended up paying by the road somehow. I haven't been stopped in years now, maybe 7 or 8. I hardly ever see a road block. I drive EVERYDAY! I have come to the conclusion that because of the leaps and bounds in recording equipment technology in phones and vehicles etc. They now think it's not worth the hassle of roadside tea money and they are suffering as this was maybe a big earner. I could be totally wrong though and have no idea what I am talking about....lol!
  8. I am coming to my seventeenth year here. The longer I stay, the more I know that I simply don't understand them. So desperate to bring tourists back into the country but then talk about measures like this. Who on earth is going to travel across the world for a 2-3week break, hit the beach and not be able to have a few cold ones in a bar? Another high season passes and the people of the tourist areas suffer heavily while they look upon them from their ivory towers. Honestly, I'm, dumbfounded!
  9. I don't care that they changed the name but what a stupid name! The logo and the font are pretty bad , too. Ah, well. What do I know.
