News Forum - New law allows foreign talent to thrive in Thailand
I disagree with the author of this story. He states that "...it also shows a commitment to economic recovery and foreign direct investment. Experts, investors, executives and entrepreneurs for startups are allowed to work, invest, establish and oversee businesses in Thailand’s target industries, meeting BOI approvals set by the Cabinet." I really think it shows that Thailand's educational institutions, including universities, have greatly failed the people they are supposed to be preparing for their futures. Seeing how the BoI and the Thai government has previously set down rules for any foreigners in this country means that those "approvals" will be hard and financially demanding hoops to jump through. -

News Forum - ‘Buy insurance’ urges English tourist who crashed moped through window in Thailand
government hospital anyone, I paid 20,000 baht for a whole pregnancy. Luckily in this case her policy was valid every week a number of insurance companies don't pay out due to small print or undeclared medical conditions. Reading the small print and then discussing it before you take out the policy is now official and of course she had to pay it all first and then get it back. Now that's mad what if she didn't have it? Of course as someone in a local forum said here the other day. Thailand isn't the place to learn to ride a motorbike. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone driving into a window before. -

What are Health Services like in your country?
Many nurses have spoken and many are very happy with their pay they are receiving, it would appear that this strike is not well supported, but many of those that are supporting it are carrying 'Tories Out" banners and "Free Palastine" banners, now you don' t need to be a genius to work out the motive of these left wing Labour activists. To hell with the patients, to hell with the country, just get the Tories out mentality. Now I am not for one minute saying that the Tories are doing a great job of running the country but there are ways and means of changing governments and militancy is not one of them! Guestimates are meaningless! -

News Forum - No one responsible for Service Hall collapse at Don Mueang Airport, confirms AOT
I stand corrected. Are you saying that an architect should consult with a structural engineer during the design process? If this is correct, then wouldn't the structural engineer (via the architect) be responsible for not allowing for (what was claimed to be) excessive rainfall in Thailand? How come we don't seem to hear about the same problem more often? Or have I completely misunderstood?- 1

News Forum - No one responsible for Service Hall collapse at Don Mueang Airport, confirms AOT
Well blaming an architectural firm for this collapse would be incorrect as it would be the responsibility of a registered Structural Engineer to account for this. I don't know details BUT i did stay at a Holiday inn express last night. My guess is that the gutter clogged leading to excessive force not part of the design calculations. Structural Engineers model large structures utilizing software like STAAD because finite element analysis is too complex to utilize by hand calculations. Seismic, snow, live loads, dead loads, wind loads, rain loading all factor in to the load modelling with a large factor of safety "usually" built in to the design. It would be interesting to participate in the forensic analysis of the failure but i would feel bad for who ever would carry the responsibilty (if in the US of A). For reference, residential design of wood structures like houses in USA is empirical. Charts and experience can suffice on standard home design ie. a gable roof on a rectangle (like a Cape Cod) although severe weather prone areas can require specialized roof design like clips and screw and glue versus nails etc. etc. Luckily no one was injured afaik
