The gradual decline of Thai Airways domestic routes and frequency. And then the allowance of regional/domestic fly-by-night {no pun intended} airlines that retain unworthy business practices.

My Thai marriage license has long ago yellowed and is crumbling with age. We have now retired in Thailand, and I read all of the English language papers and some forums. I haven't chosen to indulge in rants for or against the practices or policies of Thailand. I choose to leave that to the disgrunt...

International? Internationalized? Don't you mean "Eurocentric"? Sure....that's obviously regarding a Western-style education and the resulting product. Doesn't guarantee such knowledge, connections, nor awareness. You needn't look any further than to observe the "average" Western...

Your exposure and experiences are rather closeted, aren't they? Unfortunately, the circles that you have kept are incredibly small - therefore, that's all you know. And then go on to pretend that you have real knowledge about the society. Such Nonsense. By the way, we aren't missing you. Please, sta...

Well....this can be a common practice throughout Asia for Western residents. Double pricing standards. It is what it is. I've questioned such nonsense myself, but don't take it too seriously. Don't feel put-down-upon or don't feel they're attempting to rip you off. Just the way it is. I've lived her...

Though I've been distantly associated with the distinguished Siam Society in Bangkok off and on for years, I have yet to make a move to join. I looking to sign on as a dues paying member. Can anyone out there, in the know, give me some tips or critique about the Siam Society?

Thai University libraries, be they private or government institutions, are a wealth of resources for every endeavour.
