Cake Monster Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The Gov,t should give them all a compulsory online course in English. Now that would be something that would really benefit the Nation and the Individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinese is a much better choice as in the future they will be the only tourists coming !!! ... Thailand is now and will be for the future a Chinese province !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
