Teaching in Thailand for 20+ years & I can honestly say that a high % of Thai parents with special needs children live in complete denial. I’ve had P/T meetings where many get upset if you even hint that their child may have issues. This is real problem not being addressed!

I enjoy a short visit to Singapore but happy to be headed back to Bkk this morning! Everything is overpriced, except public transport, and you’d run out of interesting things to do if you were on a budget. Life here could quickly become monotonous and dull, in my humble opinion.

Arrived in Khao Yai after a 4 hour drive, but the place is ok for a couple of nights, especially since it’s free! 😂 The look of the hotel is….’interesting.’ Kudos to the staff for asking us right away if we wanted to book dinner @ checkin! Clever! #khaoyai #Thailand #expatlife

Hopped wrong train & went one stop in the wrong direction this AM only for partner to realize he’d forgotten his phone at the hotel! Frantic race back to hotel & run back to get a new train to the airport! Arrived with 5 minutes to spare before checkin closed. #bangkok #thailand

What the government hears: Thai students obviously need more ethics, respect and obedience classes. 🙄

Thai students rank below average in science and mathematics, and much lower in reading according to PISA 2022. Thailand has a downward trend in the last 10 years. The current mean score is lower than those for Singapore, Vietnam, Brunei, and Malaysia.

I hate to admit this because I genuinely do love my country but I feel like we’re witnessing the death throes of the republic as we know it. There’s a rot that now runs so deeply in American politics & I don’t know how we come me back from it…very depressing. 🇺🇸 #USA #Government

Whelp, that’s me done for another year!the online booking system for work visa system is fantastic! Got me in spot on 9AM & was processed in less than 10 minutes…over to do the re-entry which took a bit longer, but was just over an hour for both! Get an online appt if you can!

7-11’s in Japan are just next level! The sheer variety of products in your average shop on the corner put CP’s version of the chain in Thailand to shame! 😬😂 #japan #osaka #711 #convenientstore #kitkat

Started the day at 4:30 and arrived just after 6AM…not sure who shared it but can confirm the ‘long stay’ Fast track tip worked like a charm. Next stop: Korea for an hour and a half! 😂✈️ #bangkok #thailand #travel

So, here’s my cleaning service update for ‘BeNeat app’ yesterday. I’m pleased as punch to report that she passed the bathroom test with flying colors. Will definitely be using them again! She was quiet, thorough and attentive to detail. #cleaning #bangkok #thailand #expatlife

These little capsule hotels pods here at the airport are fascinating to me…though, for the life of me, I can’t imagine when or why I would ever use one here in Bangkok. Seems they would be more useful for transit passengers inside the checkin area? #bangkok #Thailand #Travel

Saw this on a BTS billboard and thought i’d give it a go when I popped into the 7-11 for something sweet this afternoon. Verdict: it tastes more like frozen butter, than caramel popcorn and the after taste is still stuck in my mouth a hour later…would not try again! #icecream

Easily, one of the worst things about Thai summer is that the lifts in some building becoming floating ovens that can turn a well groomed, freshly showered adult into a sweaty puddle of a mess in a very short period of time. 😑 #Thailand #กรุงเทพ #หลอน #FirstWorldProblems
