- 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.

* It is strange that the
Ban Wanghad School in Amphur Danlanhoi, Sukhothai
province [a very remote area] has only two teachers.

but now there are only 87 students left so sometimes
a janitor, monk, policeman or forest officer comes
to help teach. |
