    Northern lights

    Life, Kong Rithdee, Published on 23/09/2016

    » With over 400 movies on the slot, the Toronto International Film Festival was a feast and a maze. The latest edition of this North American showcase concluded last Sunday, with Damein Chazelle's La La Land winning the People's Choice Award, a bellwether for the bright Oscar season (Toronto, unlike other major festivals, has no prominent juried competition, instead letting the audiences decide the big winner). The festival is known as a launch pad for Oscar hopefuls as well as independent titles looking for distribution. It also features a strong experimental section that casts its radical net far and wide.

    America bashing at Esplanade Mall

    By gohmer, Created on: 09/05/2010, Last updated on: 11/06/2011

    » I putting this post up because it is related to international relationships with American citizens living and visiting Thailand. It illustrated to me that little is known about America by most people in Thailand, in fact, I think that few in the world truly understand what America is about and how...

    • Noah Shepherd commented : ion programmes where overseas students pay more in non state funded, private universities. Look at all of those cars that are made by USA joint venture factories such as GM and Ford (who are only partly here because of the cheap labour) ... well, they are bought and driven by Thais. It is basic economics 101 - there is no such thing as a one way flow of capital. [quote:106ojxvj] how many times America has aided Thailand over the past 70+ years, and the proof that we have had a great business relationship is the fact we are simply the only country that has a special treaty - "Amity" - allowing Americans to own 100% of a business here. [/quote:106ojxvj] The US Thai Treaty of Amity agreement originally dates back to 1833 when Andrew Jackson was President and Rama III was King, that's 167 years by my sums. The agreement was the precursor to increased international trade and investment, not as a result of it as OP alludes to; so it is not "proof" at all. (Under WTO rules, the Amity agreement is technically illegal, but that's another story.) Have a nice day.
