Re: Thai education system

Some time ago an Australian professor was giving a lecture to students in Phetchaburi Rajhabat.
Not long into his lecture he was asked if he would speak a little slower!

The Prof. folded his notes and bid the audience farewell :D .

Re: Vaccines - Covid 19

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said that Covid booster shots are not necessary. They go on to say that doing so is ‘morally and ethically’ unnecessary.
