If they cancel all the silly activity days, I'm sure everyone would catch up very quickly. So many days of education are lost because the school want the kids to dress up and show off in a massive photo shoot.

I'm having great difficulty in claiming all my wages for the month of November. I'm not breaching my contract, but they are. I've paid a fortune in hotel fees over this month. Am I being selfish in demanding 100% salary for this month? That's not a rhetorical question.

I really hope you are right. But I'm really worried about the schools which were actually flooded, Western and Northern Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Phatum Thani which might have a different strategy, making March the full teaching month plus Saturdays.

Bangkok and Thailand are on the verge of huge devastation and this is what the paper chooses to print?  Makes you wonder if having somebody control the press is a good idea if there idea of news at a critical time like this is to inflame politics.  Absolutely no reason in the world to run this story now.  After the waters recedes then you can inflame politics but at this point it seems like many people are simply using this natural disaster to put politics before Thailand and its people.

I'm all for seeing an end to Thaksin and his family in politics but this is a time when people need to pull together. If things do get very bad I have a feeling many people are going to die that would not have needed to die if politics were not taking front stage right now.  I even think the government is scared to deploy the military for fear of a coup and instead are depending on the police who not only are taking care of themselves and their own families now but have nowhere near the capabilities the army does in handling something like this.

Very very sad and as you can see from the comments on Thaivisa and the English newspapers, this is not just a Thai thing.

And just plane wrong to mislead readers to believing this story has anything to do with flooding.  Politicians lie, that is what they do best across the globe and if these newspapers had real reporters then we'd be getting facts instead of nonsense and politicians would be less likely to lie so boldly.

Nope, just saying IMHO, this article/poll is missing a lot of key facts such as the poll sample size, type of people sampled, area(s) of the country sampled, etc.
