In Topic: Homophobia And Prejudice: It's Time To Kill The Hate: Thai Opinion

At the mini mall by my house, out in the middle of nowhere, transgenders and those going in that direction run the Lotus Express.  The beauty salon is managed and run by a couple Toms and their Dees.  A massage place has a couple rather effeminate guys who appear to own and run it, a very popular proper foot massage place, not the other kind!  All friendly, happy, socializing folks.  I usually end up at that mall once  day for one reason or another, have never seen victimization of anyone over  the several years of going there.

Big Middle School right next to my village.  Lots of effeminate boys walking with their 'girlfriends', looking very happy and gay, pun intended.  Not being chased for their lives, not being victimized, but seeming to enjoy their status as one of the girls.

I believe this is the reality of everyday LGBT peoples in Thailand, from a local and for the most part non-Western area of town.  People just going on with their lives with nobody bothering them.  Makes for boring news though, so you won't hear it in the Nation.

it works fine but its rather useless, unless you have some kind of "right accent"
None of the thai names in the phone book ever work, also siri gets mixed up with numbers.

i am pretty sure though its something about the accent

If you want to go through the trouble, I think you can set vocal names in the phone book, e.g. you can set how a name is pronounced for a contact by speaking the name out loud, and after that SIRI will find those entries...

I can't find that option...do you know where it is?

Just use Android phone. there are a lot more options and their features are much better than Iphone. I have a Sony model Ray and compare to my wife's Iphone is a lot better phone and a lot cheaper

I have quite extensive experience with Android and IoS devices, phone and tablets included. I would like to know how the features of an android are so much better than an iPhone. Your vague comparisons do nothing for your argument.

In essence, how is this different from dropbox?

In Topic: Computer Tablet Project Is In Jeopardy: Thailand

I'm probably thinking too simplistically, but why didn't they do a pilot project with, say, 5,000 students? Check tablets, software, student performance, e-curriculum, teacher/student/parent reactions to impact of tablets in learning.

I know I am very naive. It is much better to throw a million tablets at every student in Thailand all at once, much more impressive!
