Football Fantasy challenge

A new type of fantasy game is just starting up. I'm not creating a league at the moment because I want to see how it works. The rules are different, f.ex. unlimited money and I think transfers as well, five players from one team, change team every week. If you want to try it out, open your fantasy f...

Re: Thailand News Summary

It was according to the rules in those days, late 90's-early 00's. I was asked a couple of times, bridge over the Kwai...

Re: Macau

I asked a colleague who was born here (Portuguese) and she said that the rainy season in May/June sees a lot of constant rain, which is different from Thailand. Or at least in the parts of Thailand I have lived. So it's not just heavy showers.

Re: Long weekend escape Thailand getaway ideas

Visa-free travel is for Thais, not gweilos! They're much stricter with US and UK passport holders.
But aren't you included in that group that gets 144 hours visa-free in certain cities (mentioned in the story).

Re: Football (not Premier League)

Kane may still get a trophy, if he is the top scorer in BL at the end of the season. I'm sure, he'll be proud seeing what the trophy looks like. :D

Re: Poor exam results put Thai schools on the spot

The reform should start from the teacher training institutions. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to change the attitudes of the teachers, for example, if I give poor grades, I am not a good teacher or if the students ask me questions, I have not taught well.
