I reckon you should start a new thread. Do you know how to do that?heretostay wrote:Who said "wot"
Not as bad as sponsors here, with false names ,promoting themselves.
"wot" Sponsors are entitled to promote themselves. They pay for the privilege.
Seems there are only about 10 people who post here anyway.
"wot" So you can't even count.
How many are associated with HHAD.?
"wot" All of them. That is the forum we are currently on.
If you think outside the box or have an opinion here, you get slagged down,
"wot" Do you know the difference between colloquialisms and prose. Have you had any formal education in English with particular attention to punctuation.
Why not make it a closed forum, with specific topics everyday.

"wot" What has this got to do with anything? Do you know the origin of big brother or Big Brother? I think not. Does the term Orwellian mean anything to you. I think not.

Interestingly, the new Stamford site in Bangkok ( and a student actually went there last week and shot videos of it) is still just a construction site. All dirt and trucks, no trees or landscaping. . .with a single building being built on it.
The freshmen are currently being taught at the Jasmine office site in Bangkok ( rented space in a Bangkok office building. . . not where the new "university" is supposed to be eventually. (Bang Na)
Not many people are aware of this situation and they are trying to keep it quiet. The managers are probably believing the Thai builders that everything will be completed by the start of next semester. But I can not imagine what it will be like for current students and teachers to go from the really beautiful Hua Hin campus to a construction site in Bangkok!
Sadly, they still have not talked to the staff or made any arrangements for them. .these are people who have worked for the university for ten years and who live here in Hua Hin. All they have said is that they have to close down for a bit of "remodeling". .even though the place was repainted top to bottom not more than a year ago and the auditorium carpeted . . .and a new ceiling and AC system installed for the princess at the last graduation ceremony.
There are about 110 students at the Hua Hin campus now give or take a dozen. Nobody ever knows for sure because class lists regularly include people who have quit, graduated, moved or transferred to Webster

Guten Abend everybody!!!
Thank you very much Chas for this new update.
I wanted to go there to the new site of the construction too site. but couldn't caue of my Mom still in Hosptial on Physical Therapy and other things.
Darn I wish I could also see the Video that one Student shot. from your description it's just Thai plannings at its best or itworst. Judging from that Footage that you had seen how many Percent is the building site completed so foar? On it's Computer Animation it all looks so promising but facing the realtiy of of the real thing it will be quite depressing.
Had been driven or riding past the Jasmine builiding before It It should not be the Site that Studnets from Hua Hin should move to (But they have to Temporary)
II can tell you that it be a shocking expireince for the faculty, Teacher Staff and Students when they arrive for their first Semester. Sone people staff members from who where with the Hua Hin Campus form the beginning in 1996 would expirience Deja Vu all over again as the Hua Hin Campus wasn't nearly finished finished either. From what I heard from Graduates of the first batch that Hua Hin CAmpus was 90% Percent finished and the rest of 10 percent was done duirng the opening semesters of 1996/87.
As A Graduated Student I would also know what kind of construction site the current students move to. Maybe if the Student has the courage enough and being gutzy too He could put his Video on Youtube.
Back then still in my days we still had some gutzy students who defy and demanded something to be done to lift life and qualtiy of living @ Stamford Hua Hin. There was a case of a walk out of all the Students from classes as the request for a School nursery for students, staff and faculty to treat little Ill's and pains where repeatedly denied by Manqgement in early to mid 1998. But as time passes by I witnessed these Students Graduating and less and less of these courageable poeple around here life that these poeple breathe into Stamford slowly fizzled away.
"Close down for a bit of remodelling " that doesn't sound encouraging at all. I was there @ Stamford last year and my last time was Januray this year allthough just drove by, as you said rightly Chas that place got repainted top to bottom ect. more than a year ago. and all the classrooms are still in Top Condition. Except the Soundlap for IELP, The Radio Studio in the Second building and the Video Editing Studio that needs some serious Upgrade. it still works with VHS Video Cassetes! One thing that should get a major renovation or remodeling are both Male and female domritories. The wear and tear over the last 12 years was so dramatic that all of the rooms have had problems and damges oneway or the other. To do all the repairs one Semester break is simply not enough I guess.
Lets hope after almost four years my Name doesn't Pop up on the Students list of various subjects that I had not performed that well!!!
