Locals gone fishing

 Thai Silly


Made me giggle, made me chuckle, made me laugh.
If laughter is the best medicine, then take your medicine, watch this video !!

Cost Cutting

Seems local schools are bent on cost cutting. Most of the English teaching jobs I'm hearing about are all part-time jobs at Bt10,000. 
Of course there's not much interest by 'native English speakers with a BA' in part-time employment. 
I've always thought if the Thai government would change their policy and let foreign retirees become *teaching assistants,* without having to change their retirement visa, there would be an unlimited supply.

Floods and Droughts and a heatwave in Thailand

Ten provinces in northern Thailand have been warned of possible flash floods, while some southern provinces are experiencing extreme drought. 
Droughts and floods have been regular events almost every year. Little has been done to remedy those problems.

The Price of Rice 

Ploughing Day 2012

As in all previous years, the ceremony was telecast 'live'.
I watched some of it, but after seeing this event year after year, ...I quickly lost interest ... I went grocery shopping.
Really obvious was the meat section, plenty of looking, but no purchasing.
The recent price hike was the second spike in pork and Beef prices in the last 12 months.
Bought some fish to stock my freezer.
Taking the shortcut home I came across 
locals taking advantage of the 'NO WORK DAY' by going fishing.



    The entire ceremony is preserved in seven videos at You Tube
