Besides coloring and counting numbers, these 3-year-olds also sat on top of a deadly crocodile while their teachers snapped a photo.Sathaporn Kindergarten in Chiang Mai province was forced to apologize after photos of their little kindergartners sitting on top of a crocodile during a field trip were heavily criticized online.The photos were captured Friday after a performance at a local crocodile farm where visitors were encouraged to pet and take photos with the crocodile, including the 3-year-olds who attended the show without their guardians. Unlike the online netizens, the school seems to be unaware of the risk they put the students in as the students’ photos were uploaded to the [read more...]Full story: http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2014/03/17/badass-kindergartners-sit-crocodile-schools-field-trip -- Coconuts Bangkok 2014-03-17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Blackmirage2013 Posted March 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) This is one of the stupidest pictures I have ever seen..... The person who allowed this should be thrown in jail for being a careless imbecile. It is stuff like this that gives Thailand a bad reputation.... no common sense, no brain... might as well let your kid play on Bang Na expressway at night...

PepperMe Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 One of the things I like the most about living in Thailand. No matter where you are in LOS, when you get hungry, you are never too far away from a Thai who is willing to provide you with a quick meal at short notice.

Gummigalgen Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I left Thailand with my kid 1 month ago. After 9 years it was too much for me. The stupidities with children school transport, field trips ("we are back at 04.00 pm". At 07.00 pm still no sign of the double decker. No teacher or driver picking up their cell phone, was a Crocodile farm trip as well..... ), education system (teacher with a spanking rod during a dance performance at school). Children disappearing which not even makes the news anymore. TV in the morning with only misery in the Bangkok protest streets. Feel much better now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Loong Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Probably safer than the 2 year old children I have seen many times standing in their father's laps steering the car for daddy at 120km an hour. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MikeENZ Posted March 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2014 I've worked at a croc place in NZ (we had the only 2 crocs in the country) and I've been in with them once. Scared the crap out of me, and these things were bloody dangerous. I can't even begin to explain the levels of rage I have seeing these kids put into such a dangerous situation, this image is everything that is wrong with the attitude towards responsibility in this place. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnomick Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Luckily for these three children, the crocodiles weren't hungry -- they'd just eaten the last group who sat on their tales for a photo opportunity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentbkk Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 This is as dangerous as a kid sitting in the front seat of any car , without safety belt. A national sport here ..... I feel sorry for the kids to have such stupid teachers .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkbarbara Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) The person in charge of this field trip should be dispatched to wherever they sent the teacher's aide who tasered a four year old to tease him. If this had happened in my children's school, they would have already been withdrawn, and I would have done whatever I could to see those who were so negligent brought to account. Before some of you jump in and say but this is Thailand, let me add that my children were educated here, in local not international schools, kindergarten through university. Whenever an issue arose, I made it a point to address it with the concerned authority at their school. Sometimes they learned something new, sometimes I did, and in one instance, we changed schools, but in the end, it was the children who always benefited.

Surprised that no one has suggested that the crocs were drugged Alternatively a risk management for the Kindergarten, which has just escaped a "massive" liability claim.....

Trujillo Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 So are you going to trash the Tiger Kingdom in Chiang Mai also? You are in there with them in the cages. Pictures are taken. No humans are mauled or killed. How is this different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harleyclarkey Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 In any civilised country the teachers would be jailed for endangering their charges, and rightly so. My mind boggles at the utter stupidity of the brainless morons who put these infants in a cage with dangerous animals. What were they actually thinking...that this is fun...make a good shot....see if the crocodiles will kill an infant?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
