Not surprised the government would be quick to shut this down. Heaven frbid Thais were taught to think for themselves and/or challenge the status quo. That could lead to something REALLY dangerous like democracy.

It really is the worst part of Thai society 

 

The abject stifling of any curiousty 

 

And it hamstrings so many Thai people and puts them at a massive disadvantage to others in the world

I for one would line them all up and enjoy every second of their deaths.

“Children shouldn’t just regurgitate facts, they should learn to analyse and compare.”

People that have learned to think for themselves - a terrifying concept for not just politicians everywhere, and not just Thailand.

      News Forum - Thai couple loses over 11 million baht to trusted employee

      "Matichon reported that the suspect’s father is a police officer. She and her father are now fighting in the court to make herself clean." Well that'll be why the police decided to do nothing then (apart of course from their institutional laziness), maybe the father needs to be arrested too either as an accessory or at the least for perverting the course of justice by ensuring no police action was taken!

      News Forum - Pastry drama: Temu croissant lamp turns out to be edible (video)

      Those ceramic knives are great. Sharp as a razor but you have to be careful with them. They dislike hitting bone or anything hard but great for fruit, veg or boneless meat. Never figured out how to sharpen them properly tho. Might need a specialist stone or something. I also got battery powered clippers. Rechargeable from Lazada. Panasonic branded. The missus uses them for my monthly hair cut and prefers them over corded clippers like Wahl. Picked up a good 2nd hand Japanese catering knife a few months back. 450 baht but holds a good edge. A bit prone to surface rust but if it's oiled and it's fine.

      News Forum - Pastry drama: Temu croissant lamp turns out to be edible (video)

      I agree Poolie. Just love those designer clothes. Bought some shorts t'other day. And the best pair of strides I have bought here were made in Mexico; according the the label. Not cheap. Lucky to find them. Bought a chog-chog on the cheap. turned out to be rubbish. Got blunted first time out. But on the upside, I bought a battery operated hair-cutter from China, that has does the bizzo once a month. I use it for trimming me beard and eyebrows also. Bought a ceramic knife in Big C. Cheap at 49 baht. Reduced from 99 baht. What quality! I'm always on the look out for those special bits and bobs. Don't matter if they are new, second, or third hand even; as long as the quality is there. Hats, chairs, clothing, light bulbs etc. But sometimes I come a cropper. Got an electric clock in the 20 baht shop last year. Just wouldn't keep good time. Gave it away in the end. Waste of money that was.
