Put a stop to Ultras
News, Editorial, Published on 07/09/2015
» Thai "football fans" involved in the stadium altercation in Laos on Friday took their form of casual violence to a new level, and created an international incident. The confrontation between the so-called "Ultras Thailand" and Lao police has embarrassed the country. The Thai embassy in Vientiane had to become involved, and wrote what seemed to be an official apology to Laos. The embassy deserves praise for working to free the 25 arrested Thai "fans" and quickly cooling down this divisive incident.

Teach our children how to think
Life, Usnisa Sukhsvasti, Published on 07/09/2015
» Politics and religion may be taboo conversation subjects, but the subject of education in Thailand is always a great way to get the ball rolling. Everyone has a story to tell and everyone has an opinion to give. Not much of it is positive. The recent announcement by the Office of the Basic Education Commission (Obec) that schools are going to reduce class hours from eight hours a day to six in order to give children time for more extra-curricular activities has caused a lot more concern than praise. I don't think the quantity is going to make any difference, if the quality of teaching is not up to standard and you're not going to get quality teaching in the classroom if you can't pay teachers a reasonable salary. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Just to put things into perspective, according to figures from the 2015 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Switzerland is the country with the most well-paid teachers.
