Thaksin has gone to Brunei !!

The former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has left Thailand after he quitted his position since occurring a coup on 19 September 2006. Thailand still have many problems concerning a politic such as a competition of Pue Thai party and Prachatipat party including red-shirt's protest and the bombing at the King Power shop on Rangnam Road that it might involve the election that will take place in Bankok soon.

The Thai government still keep eye on Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra although he had left Thailand for 4 years. A foreign Ministry source showed that Mr. Thaksin is in Brunei. He visited Cambodia and Brunei, he also has been treated very well when he visited these countries. However, Thailand wanted to maintain a relation with Brunei. But some other sources said that Thaksin was staying near Thailand. The informations which knew were come from his messages posted on Twitter accounts. Because of these reason, Thaksin does not play Twitter very often to keep his secret.

• For me, Thaksin's problems in Thailand should be end. It makes people bored of politics more than ever. According to the news, I agree with the government that they still keep an eye on Thaksin that not only where is he but also what is he doing because I think he is the main cause of all the problems. And if Thaksin is in Brunei now, I think Brunei's government should send him back to Thailand to maintain a relation because Thaksin is nearly called as terrorist. Moreover, if Thaksin did not do something wrong like somthing he always said, I think he should stop his escape and come back to Thailand to show his honesty. So, this is a good solution to make a peace to occur in Thailand again.

Bangkok the last province where emergency will be lifted !!

The unrest which affected since red shirt protest's occurrence in April, 2010. I really felt worried about this problem because Thailand is my hometown and my beloved country. I do not want this situation to happen again because it caused many problems that damages our life. Furthermore, it also make Thailand's economy and image. I agree that Thailand's Prime Minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva noticed to use the Emergency Decree, and I hope that the same situation of Thailand will be the same fastly.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, proclaimed to use the Emergency Decree in several provinces of Thailand where occurres the unrest situation for 4 months. The Emergency Decree forbids to form a group more than 5 people but there still happened the bomb at the King Power shop on Rangnam Road in few days ago. Mr. Aphisit believed that Bankok will be the last province where the Emergency Decree will be canceled because the situation in the northeastern had gotten back to normal already, but the decree in Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Udorn Thani, Khon Kaen, Nakhon Ratchasima are still used. Lastly, the security has been increased because of the bombing too.

• I agree with this Emergency Decree because now Bangkok still has many situation of unrest like many bombs, and many agitations. In addition, Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, so it is the target of agitators and it should be acquired the highest security. The more Bangkok was damaged, the more many effects on Thailand's image. Therefore, I think that the government should proceed to use the Emergency Decree to maintain a peace in Thailand until all the situation will be save and should have a definitive punishment for every agitators to prevent these situation to happen again.

Fashion fair planned to help speed up sales !!

The reason that I should this story because I'm interested in fashion and there are many famous brand name in this expo which people may like it. There is also has a designer's competition that will showed on TV. This expo was arrange to help peoplae around Ratchaprasong area and I want to show that Thai people still love and want to help each other.

The Thailand Fashion Expo in October is expected to help further improve business in the Ratchaprasong area. The Commerce Ministry will join with CentralWorld, Siam Paragon, and leading local brand owners. The government has funding, 50 million, include business matchmaking, and exhibitions of leading local products. The fair would include conference with two world-renowned designers who are Vivienne Westwood and Nunthirat "Koy" Suwannagate. They will showcase their work at the event. In parallel with this expo, a designer competition reality show will be transmit on Channel 9.

• I'm really agree with this project because it can help many business owner who get the effect from political crisis. This project can help Thai's economy to get better after the political crisis. It also can show that Thai poeple still love and taking care of each other and that is good to see because most of Thai people is stay on situation of separation and competition now so I'm glad to heard this news which show the caring of people and hope that Thailand will better than this as soon as possible.

Govt advised, use Thaksin's money !!

I choose this story because this topic is the Thailand hottest news in current year. Because Thaksin did a lot of affect to Thailand and those affect were destroy our coutry. Many people love him and many people dislike him too but the same thing that they have are they want to know about the final verdict of the Supreme Court's decision.


After the ruled not to accept for consideration the appeal by Thaksin and his family to against the seizure of 46 billion bath and this is the final verdict that the Supreme Court's decision, Thanawat Polwichai, director of the Economic and Business Forecasting Centre said that " The Thai government should consider the ways to use the money which confiscated from former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra."

• I think Thaksin should not do the corruption from the first. He should satisfy in what he has because it is better than many people. If I were him and got the money as much as he has, I won't destroy the country and accepted a Court's decision. Moreover, I won't let people to be risk and endanger to help me from what I know that I did wrong. I don't like an untruthfulness so I did not accept in what he asked his people to do many things for him. Although I get that money is very important thing in life now, I also don't understand in some people who help him to destroy the country that where is the benefit if we give back his money and forget in what he has done. It's true that Thai politics always have a corruption, but other politician did not do the thing he does. I think we should start a new version and change an aspect of politics to be more useful to our country. If we cuold do that, I think Thailand will be one of the successful country of the world.

Thailand opposes lower Mekong dams !!

I choose this story because the dams which China plan to build may affect a dangerous problem to our world. More than 100 representatives from many country made a meetind to delay this project because Mekong river is meant for many countries that are Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. This river are also meant for every creature that live in or around the waterway. China's building the hydropower dams will cause a lot of problems to all of creature around the river and the world.

Thailand's representatives have opposed the Chinese governmeny plan to build 12 hydropower dams on the lower Mekong river because the dams would destroy the river's ecosystem. More than 100 representatives from Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and observers from China attended were make a meeting to discuss four options ; to scrap all the dam projects, to delay the projects for study of the possible impact, to build a dam as pilot project, and to move ahead with plans to build 12 dams. All of the representatives have the same oppinion that the very end of this international water would be affected the most and there are several other alternative energy sources that can be utilised.

• I think China should not build the dams because China was build the dams for produce an energy for themselves and it's not fair to other country. This dams not only affect people or animal that live around the river line, but also destroy the river's ecosystem. China's government should listen to these representatives or reconsider about this plan in neutrally way. For me, I don't agree with this plan. I think there is a lot of problems more than a benefit. Although China is the second powerful country in the world, they should do the thing that cause a dangerous problem to the world. They should reconsider about this plan before it's too late.

Sea turtles hatch in Chiang Mai !!

Because of many problems such as global warming, and human's destruct, the sea turtle is nearly become extinct and some of them were extinct. At Chiang Mai Zoo, there is different because it is the first time the the turtle will be hatched in a moutainous area and many sea creature on a plateau. It is interesting to see what they are in different place they used to live. It is a good chance to go to see the animals which are hard to find or nearly to become extinct and it will be an impress memories to see what is may not have in the future.

The turtle festival was arranged to raise awareness of people and to encourage people to get involved in conservation efforts. This is the first time that about half of the 169 sea turtle eggs being nutured at Chiang Mai Zoo aquarium and these endangered marine animals have been hatched in a mountainous area. The eggs are part of turtle festival at the aquarium and Chiang Mai Zoo and the navy's Sea Turtle Conservation Centre and there are several species are featured in this festival. The Chiang Mai's cooler weather are meant for male turtles more than the females and it was good for the conservation of the species.

• I think we should protect every creature not only the sea turtle because many creature is nearly become extinct too. I think we should not disturb them by arrange the show, and let people to see them. It may be a good chance for us too see the creature which is hard to find but we will disturb them. I think we should encourage people, and raise awareness to protect the turtle. I used to hear a news which said that some people like to eat the tuetle's egg and that lead some people find and bring the the eggs to sell them. That is the worst thing because the turtle is borned from the egg so if we destroy their egg, the amount of the turtle will be decrease and some kinds of them may be become extinct. I think we should let they live in where are appropriate for them and try not disturb them in every ways.

Google Chrome set to make mark in Thailand !!

Google is the very popular website now. We can search and find everything I want to know from Google in very easy way. The information that we get from Google like we open the book but it is faster. It's good to know that this very comfortable will be better. Google is very comfortable website to search whatever you want, just type and enter what you want will be on your computer. So I choose this story to tell me what is going on Google.

According to, Google Southeast Asia head of product management, Andrew McGlinchey, they has been built the Chrome for today's websites and for the applicaitons of tomorrow such as the 3D graphics on Google Earth, when users use the Google Earth will allow them to zoom-in or run 3D graphics and the browser can be downloaded at http://www.google.co.th/chrome . Google Chrome's aspect is optimised for speed to get users where they want as quickly as possible. And they will improve their website to be better and more comfortable.

• It is a good news to know that Google will improve their website to be better. Google is one of my favourite website that I always use when I have to find somthing for work. I can get everything I want to know from Google such as informations, pictures, vedios, map, and also the translation in very easy way. The new version of Google will get us easier way to understand on something that will be easier to get if you can see it in 3D graphics. And it will bring us the more benefit so I agree that they will improve their website.

Ihub Media taps into Facebook's growth !!

Facebook is one of the most popular communication on internet and internet is one of several ways of communication which most people of the world are using because internet seem to be the fastest way of communication now. On Facebook we can do many things from their applications. So I choose this story to keep up with what will happen to Facebook which we always use as our favourite website now.

In Thailand, the total number of internet users is around 17 million and Facebook has reached 25.7 percent of them or around 4.5 million Facebook users. They use Facebook to communicate with other people around the world through the computers or mobile phones. Facebook can use for many applications such as chatting and games. Because of these reasons, Ihub media which is Facebook's partner in Asia decided to increase the seventh branches in Thailand. George Foo, Ihub media chief operating officer said that Facebook became the most popular social network and Thailand is a country which facebook's growth rapidly and he also expects to have more Facebook user in the future.

• For me, I'm the one of Facebook's user too. I think Facebook is very comfortable way to connect to other people. We can chat, share our photo or vedio, play games and many applications on Facebook. It uses very short times to share what you want to share to other because of an internet which is the fastest way to communicate with other people around the world now. Although Facebook is a very useful communication, but I think Facebook can also cause many problems and dangerous because of its comfortable too. People may pay more attention and their time to Facebook than to thier works and it may make their works not good as usaul or they may spend all of their time with Facebook and it's not good for their health, their family or friends. So we should use it in the right way and appropriately.

The Novosibirsk Returns to BKK !!

The opera is the wonderful enchanted ancient music in the world. The opera's artists must have an excellent ability to use their voice to impress people. This concert is performed by many famous opera's artists and it is one of interesting concert that is not often have in Thailand. So if you are someone who interested in Opera, you should go to enjoy this concert.

The Novosibirsk State Opera Theatre returns to Bangkok wiyh 2 spectacular performances. The Novosibirsk State Opera and Ballet Theatre. They have established themselves as one of Russia's leading opera companies. About the show in Thailand, first one is Prince Igor (on September 11) and second one is La Boheme (on September 13). Prince Ignore is an enormous production with over 290 artists, including the orchestra and it was first performed in Saint Petersburg, Russia in 1890. This story based on the true story of Igor Svyatoslavich the brave, a Russian prince. Next, La Boneme, This story is about love, loyalty, true friendship and the joy of creativity. The opera's libretto focuses on a passionate love affaire between the two Bohemians, Rodolfo and mimi.

• This news is interesting for me because I used to pay attention to a chorus band when I was in a high school. I think the opera is really fantastic music because they must use an excellent skill to control their voice to show the feeling of the song and some song is very difficult to do it. The Novosibirsk is a professional group include many famous artists and this concert is not only to sing but also perform with a famous orchestra too. I think it is a good chance for people who intersted in an opera to have a good memory from a special profession band from Russia where is expert at opera and there is not often to have a concert like this in Thailand. If you are interested in music, I think opera is the interesting choice you should pay attention to.

Concert for the Whole Family !!

This story is about one of the interesting concert that Thailand has. This concert is not only for amusement but also perform about to cherish the cultural heritage. It will be one of the ways to show the youths the cultural heritage. It will be one of the ways to show the youths, foreigner or other people who interested in Thai old culture that what we were, how we lived and many excellent knowledge which is handed down until today. This year concert is also about the love for our country and rebuilding it after what has happened earlier this year So I choose this story to tell you the interesting concert which you should not miss.

The fans of Khun Phra Chuay (Oh My God! ), the TV show which airs on ModernineTV on Sat from 3pm. want to watch it as a live in a cocert hall not in a studio so they will staged at Aksara Theatre and will premiere on Mother's Day and ccontinue on Aug 13, 14, 15 and 21. Khun Phra Chuay has revived Thai culture. They said that they have to cherish our heritage and preserve it for future generations. This live's theme is Phaendin Thong and traditional performances include many famous Thai stars such as Choenyim's group, Burin from Groove Rider and Fon Thanasoonthorn. This live is for everyone in the family. Ticket inclusive of buffet at Ramayana restaurant. For more information, visit http://www.thaiticketmajor.com or call 02-262-3456.

• Khun Phra Chuay is one of the best Thai TV programs that I used to watch. It shows us about Thai traditionals that some youths never know or something that we are nearly to forgot it. I think we should support them to enjoy thier concert to make them have an income to make other show because something that is showed on their program is Thai traditional which almost disappear or we forget it. It is not only the duty of someone or some groups to protect Thai culture but it is everybody who Thai's duty to do it. As you can see that Thai youths think about Thai culture as an unfashionable now and start to copy other nation's culture, that is not good. This concert is also about country's current event now (they will try to use their performance to make a peace that almost disappear from Thailand to happen again and to encourage people to rebuilding the country). So if you have a time, you should spend your time to enjoy their concert and help them to protect our traditional.

BRT's (Bus Rapid Transport) opens !!

Transport is one of the important thing in daily life and we should know what is going on in transport today so I choose this story that told us about the more comfortable transport or something we call as BRT which is available now.

The first BRT (Bus Rapid Transport) route in Bangkok, from Sathorn station to Rajapruek Station are available now. It will be a special cost (it will be 10 bath through December 2010,then between 12 - 20 bath from 2011 and will be free from now until August 31,2010). There will be a machine for sale the ticket in the station but riding the BRT will be free from now until August 31,2010.

• In my opinion, the BRT will make transportation more comforable but I think it should be more route and can be use around Thailand and have a better service. And it should have its own ways, should not share with others because it may cause a lot of traffic problems. But I agree that BRT is available now because it may help traffic problems in Bankok and may make people use their own car lower.

Thailand's logistic system in lower cost !!

I choose this story because this story may be a good way to develop and improve our country to be more prosper. And it is interesting to follow that he success in what he said to do and see that he could do it and see our country being better.

Abhisit Vejjajiva, Thailand's PrimeMinister has targeted bringing down the cost of Thailand's logistic system as low as 15 percent of GDP as soon as possible and lower than 10 percent when all of the system are fully developed. They spend lower than 10 percent of their GDP on their logistics systems in developed nations so he made a statement about "The way out of the logistics crisis in Thailand" to develop and improve the readiness of its logistics and transport system to reduce costs and be more competitive with other country. And he will improve the country although it would be difficult to achieve and the previous government could not do it but he will.

• In my opinion, it's really difficult to do the things that the PrimeMinister said in Thailand today. There are many easier problems in the country that he should solve before think of competitive with other country. But it's good to see that he want to develop our country in the problem that other government could not do. I think Thailand will be a developed nation if he and the government are really do their best for the country and do not do everything for themselves.

Comics can be a good teacher !!

Now, students like to read a comic books, especially Japan's manga and student read it more and more. So teachers try to use comic books for teaching. I choose this news because i think learning by comics is one of the good way for those student who read comics to study English.

Western comic patterns which most of them would be formed in A4 page and pocket-book sizes. Comics are useful to improve vocabulary and reading. In the other hand, comics such a Frankenstein and Dracula are useful to help to improve and develop reading. Long story and short story can use in different purpose. Long story can use for extensive reading and short story can use for presenting vocabulary. Student can use the pattern of the original ideas from famous writers but add own ideas in it for writing. When they read and understand a story, they can be requested to act out the dialogue and it will improve their speaking.

• I agree with them because I think students today are prefer to read comics instead of reading academic book and it can teach them English. Because of this reason, student will learn English with more fun and also attract students who do not like to learn English can improve their English skill.

Thai students won gold and silver medals at International Mathematical Olympiad !!

Thailand's education has developed and sent more Thai students to many stages of competitions. I think that it is important to support talent student to go beyond, not only study and study. So I chose this news because this oppatunity gives a lot of chances for student that has a great capability.

Six Thai students from different school won one gold and five silver medals at 51st International Mathematical Olympaid competition in Kazakstan. The gold medal goes to Srinakharinwirot University Pathumwan Demonstration School which is known as the top ranked school in Thailand. Futhermore, students from Triam-udom suksa School and Mahidol Witthayanusorn School won the silver medals.

• From this news, I feel so pround that Thai student were able to do it too. And I think that Thai people have same feeling as me too. I think it is good to support them a good oppatunity like this and Thai students also can bring Thailand more well-known.

Thailand hope to defeat Kiwis in September !!

Thailand have many expert athlete so i choose this story to follow him and waiting for his success.





Taweesak, Thailand tennis manager believe in thai player that they can defeat New Zealand in the Dawis cup in September.

• I think Thailand may can defeat New Zealand like the manager said because Thai players have a great skill and they can do it, if they try their best.

Thongchai hits 81 in final round !!

I choose this story because Thongchai Jaidee is the one of famous golf star and he always played in good game.





Thongchai Jaidee shot a disastrous 10-over par 81 in the final round. It was a particularly disappointing end to the tournament as he had scored a four-under 67 on the opening day. Thongchai started off with a bogey at first and played it well. But a lot worse was to come in the past.

• I think Thongchai is an excellent golf player and i admire his games.
