Not Telling
I was thinking about the long term affects. Most of the rice has gone from the supermarkets and I believe this year's crops have been affected by the flooding. As the biggest exporter of rice in the region there are going to be far more people affected by these floods than just people in Thailand. The price of food will obviously rise around the region and Thailand will have to import rice to feed the people. This means a rise in food prices which will impact on the rice famers that have been the worse affected.
The floods may be gone in four to six weeks but the affects will be with us for sometime to come I feel.

Both local and international research houses predict that the floods will cause substantial damage to the Thai economy this year."
Presumably all these folks have graduate degrees in stating the bleeding obvious?

Yeah, like so much "news" these days. Close you eyes and make something up vague and general then present it in pompous or somber tones with good inflection and you've got modern TV news.
It's so bad it is beyond insulting to everyone's intelligence. Probably more in the ludicrous but maybe almost into the insipid category.
Your avatar is extremely annoying and is hypnotizing me. Change it na krap!
In Topic: Thais Still Not Reading Critically, Historian Says

Watched an advert recently on TV with a young girl in Singapore asking questions at the zoo, 'Daddy, Daddy...Why is he so tall'. - about a giraffe, 'Daddy...Daddy...Why is his nose so long?' - about an elephant. Clearly the young girl was brought up in Singapore but I suspect her father is Thai and went through the Thai education system. He hasn't got a clue how to answer his inquizative daughter because he hasn't been taught to think critically and ask questions.

To promote sex? Don't you thing Thailand have enough sex already?
The museum isn't promoting sex. It is educating people about sex. I don't think sex needs to be promoted but people do need to be educated on preventing unwanted pregnancy and protection against STD and HIV. Teenagers will always have sex as it's natural instinct. Keep it safe.
