Now it is clear why some Thai girls don't know English except engate in activities that replicates their sign language during later part in their life. once they are out of the education system.

From the racially denigrating comments by the mother of the offending student, it is easy to see that she would have been an avid voter for Anutin in the recent election.

As for the other students who are now tearfully remorseful and pleading for the posts to be removed, are you sorry for doing what you did, or rather for having been outed? I fully believe it would be the latter.

Silly girl and ignorant parent. If the teacher is or was acting incompetently then a complaint to the school management is the only allowable recourse.

During my first visit to Thailand some 50 plus years ago, (Vietnam War era or American war if Vietnamese), to the Thai population in general foreigners were something very new to them. Some accepted some didn't. 50/50 case in those days. Yep, verbally abused by some Thais for even being here.

Since then, the majority have acquiesced to their presence and accepted the good and bad of this arrangement, but there will always be a small percentage that reject foreigners.

Any given village of 100 people will have that 1% that cannot stand foreigners.

Be wary of that one percent, have seen one Farlung set up to breech retirement visa laws. Bye bye Thailand.

Even recently had a local case of a Farlung teacher clipping a kid under the ear for being rude and obnoxious to other students.

Big problem, teacher suspended and two week investigation. 

Truth prevailed and the kid was declined education at this school. 

The students supported the teacher and got rid of a bullying thug at the same time.

Local hiso brat more than likely educated by his parents to believe he was up market to the rest of the world. Latest is they have left the area and are trying to unload all their real estate ownings in the area.

Land easy to buy, very, very hard to sell.

Must be fake news, doesn't fit the agenda - everyone knows that only white people are racist. Actually, until I got to the mother's (definitely racist) comments, I was just reading it as being about a badly behaved brat.

Sa Kaeo, but it is fully documented and surveyed land, so the price is higher.
