* A new generation of students
cheat their parents, make fake registration documents
for study, and keep the education fee. After that
they beg money from parents for shopping and entertainment.
* An award named “Charoen Wataksorn” is
given to the best community radio show [Charoen
Wataksorn was an activist who led protests that
halted the construction of the Bo Nok coal-fired
power plant and was murdered on June 21, 2004. Being
involved in protesting mega-projects in the provinces
is often met with retribution.]. This year “Khon
Hakthin” [People who love their land] from
Udonthani province won it for reporting on the case
of a potash mine.

A mob of caddies have a problem with the new rule
of Pinehurst Golf Course that bans the short,
fat, and old from being caddies. They plan to
submit a letter to “Pa U” [Uraiwan Tienthong,
the Minister of Labour] to protect their rights.
[Pinehurst is a favorite golf course of the Prime
Minister and his family--like in Malaysia, the
media watch who is the PM's golfing partners to
judge who is important in government or which
business leaders will be 'lucky.']
