- December 10, 2004 * The Office of National Religion reveals that temples will be non-smoking areas. Smokers cannot be ordained as monks and monks who are already addicts have to quit in the appropriate time. They ask people to cooperate and not present cigarettes to the monks. Meanwhile Bangkok Governor Apirak declares all the parks in Bangkok to be nonsmoking areas and those who violate must pay a 2000 baht fine. * ”The North“ is very cold and might be minus 5 temperature--the same as in 1999. People can see the frost which is called “Moei Khab” on the grass in Doi Intanon and Doi Angkhang, Chaingmai which excites foreigners and Thai tourism. |
* It is strange that the
Ban Wanghad School in Amphur Danlanhoi, Sukhothai
province [a very remote area] has only two teachers.
In the past there were seven teachers for 200 students,
but now there are only 87 students left so sometimes
a janitor, monk, policeman or forest officer comes
to help teach. |
