News Forum - Foreign tourist under investigation for free climbing in southern Thailand
I was a serious, if not a particular talented, climber and mountaineer for many years in my younger life. I only 'soloed' on boulders, to avoid injury, but I free climbed, without aid , many routes in the UK and the Alps. I started my climbing at the end of the period when aided climbing became unacceptable on new and previously climbed routes and even one bolt placed at a crux could invalidate a new route in the minds of the climbing World, until some brave person free climbed it and removed that bolt. Your last sentence is right. Sport climbing is a whole new World to me and if it requires bolts to achieve it, then in my mind that is vandalism, but I'm old now and each generation makes its own rules. To me, leaving the rock as you found it, unprepared, no top roping and no pitons or bolts, only removable protection, is the purest form. -

News Forum - Tourism Minister addresses police controversies
So, you know lots of people in this program? Know any Chinese in this program? From November 5, 2022, published here, at The Thaiger: "The number of new Chinese nationals who have joined the Thailand Elite Card programme has risen steeply from 1,100 in 2021 to 3,100 this year, growth of 185%. Yuthasak Supasorn, chairman of Thailand Privilege Card, operator of the programme, said the number of new Chinese members had risen from 1,100 in 2021 to 3,100 this year, overall number of Chinese members in the programme reached 7,350, the most of any country." Now perhaps "grand majority" wasn't the best phrase, but I'll settle for "the most of any country". -

News Forum - Thai activists warn that new hair guidelines will allow schools to be more strict
Herein lies the problem. (Prayut talking about education back in November 2020). "Education focuses too much on academics".........brilliant.....(Openly demonstrating the lack of his own). These idiots have been destroying education for kids for almost 80 years now. Until these retards are removed, hope for the kids looks slim. -

The grand majority of Elite holders are not Chinese criminals. Everyone I know who has Elite got it because they were ineligible for the retirement visa (under 50yo), and wanted a legal solution for staying in the country long term.- 1

News Forum - Asian woman arrested for pretending to be a student at US high school
Is it really? It isn't a federal law ... It would have to be a state or local law. But then every state and/or locality would have to have their own laws ... Which I doubt. What would the law state too? There are a lot of 18 yr old's in high school already (and 18 is considered an adult - but can't drink - in most places). I can see where schools don't want older men/women in schools influencing the younger people, but some of the teachers are right out of Uni and thus maybe 4 yrs older than the oldest students. These younger teachers do bring their own teaching style and possible "influencing" style ...
