Pak Khat district of Bueng Khan is an agropolitan district on the bank of the Mekong

Para rubber produces farmers bring to a daily marketplace I have come across when I drive from Pak Khat district to Bueng Khan on the 15th of October 2014

Welcome to Hor Khum Municipality

Before I left for Bueng Khan via Hor Kham Municipality, the man on my left approached me and asked,

" Sir, you are a former  Nai Amphoe of Pak Khat? "

He was once an assistant village headman for the security affair in the Amphoe.

He has got sharp eyes because though I had left Pak Khat for 15 years, he still remembers a former Nai Amphoe.

If he still worked for the government, he would have received a monthly allowance of 5,000 Baht.  Right now he works in this marketplace. 

227 takes you from Phang Khon to Kalasin

I was not sure I took the right turn, but the number at this electric pole confirmed that I made the right choice.

The number plate is not a big one, and you do not need a big pole to hold the plate. You might use a smaller one, and it is not necessary for you to use any poles to support the number plate because you can coordinate with the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) so that you can put the small number plate on an electric pole.

I saw this kind of cooperation between organizations when I visited  New Zealand a few years ago. We can call this one of  "best practices." The practice that you may use to enhance your service performances.

Thanks to you the Department of Highway, Ministry of Transport and Communications.

Thai Restuarants Established in Stockholm

I am curious why Thais like to go to Thai restuarants when they travel to foreign countries. Even me myself also want to go to Thai restarants in the UK,USA, The Netherlands,France, Germany, New Zealand and 

Australia.

Towards Stockholm, Sweden: Policies at the core area and their effects at the periphery

More campaign strategies

The boy who took my picture told me the poster says something about schools to both the sky and the earth. I understand that the party wants to make education for both the rich and the poor, meaning that those who can afford expensive education can pursue their dreams; but at the same time the ordinary and the disadvantaged are assured of equality of education as well.

Policy on Recruitment of Secondary 1 and Secondary 4 Students

After some discussion at the seminar on policy on recruitment of new students for the next academic year we have arrived at the following conclusions:

1. The use of  Ordinary National Education Test (O-NET) as a requirement for recruitment has been necessary because the ministry has put more emphasis on the academic standard. Schools will be encouraged to make a more educational effort to enhance their students excellence so that they can manage to master the O-NET. Parents and students will recognize the importance of pupils ' academic performance with the result that they will spend more time studying relevant materials and preparing themselves.
2. Concerning the new measure to reduce a chance for students within a catchment area to continue their study in popular schools, the OBEC's proposal does not get any support from the meeting. The committee argues that the OBEC's measure may result in a reduction of equal opportunity for the students in the catchment areas.
3. Clarification of the meaning of catchment area of famous and more competitive schools should be made to prevent different interpretation.
4.The meeting unanimously agrees with the OBEC's proposal to include an essay type test in the admission tests.

5. As for problems of small school management, there has been a call for a more elaborate analysis to identify if the small school is a weakness or strength. Would it be possible for a paradigm shift at a higher echelon of educational administration so that small schools are encouraged, inspired and empowered to create the modest but excellent schools in this country?
