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).

Yes, it's rainy season but as I said, I can't tell what it will be like, short heavy showers or longer showers.

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.

This was said to be a quicker one to cross the border than the old Lo Wu crossing. It was quite good as it only took about 20 minutes for me to cross the c...

Re: Premier League 2023-24

Klopp to leave Liverpool at the end of the season. After resting, will he go to Real or Bayern? Or somewhere else. Never liked Liverpool (mainly due to their supporters, that I have known, of course one or two exeptions). Will they fall back to the shadows? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68104699
