"“Thailand needs more than book fairs in Bangkok. Books should travel to schools or malls, offering free reading activities. Without this outreach, books remain inaccessible,” [Pincha Lekpetch, owner of Reangrun Publishing] said. …[Shopworker and mother Keerati Boonpradit said,] “If the government can give out cash, why not free books for [children]? It would make a huge difference.”"

"Traditionally, Siamese boys have been educated in Buddhist [monasteries], and more than 77 per cent of the local public schools, and 23 per cent of the government schools, are located in monasteries."

"It will be worth mentioning that Pakistan is also making its contribution to the spread of terrorism in Thailand ."

"Acts of terrorism in Thailand are limited predominantly to the four southern border provinces of Narathiwat, Yala, Pattani and Songkhla."

"One can even say that there is nothing new at all about transnational terrorism in Thailand since both Thai terrorist and separatist organisations have had contacts with the Middle East and South Asia for decades...."

"The impact of Ayodhyā was so wide and varied that in the distant Śyāmadesa (Siam) i.e. modern Thailand a Buddhist king U-Thong (Skt. Uttunga) decided to establish his capital at Nong Sans and name it Ayutthaya or Ayudhya after Ayodhyā in 1350 A.D. On accession to the throne of Ayutthaya this Buddhist king even changed his name from U-Thong to Ramathibodhi (Skt. Ramatibodhi which means Rāma, the intellectual par excellence.) For 417 years this strong kingdom with Ayutthaya as the capital dominated the South East Asia politically, culturally and religiously. According to Willian Warren, Ayutthaya in the 17th century was the largest and most magnificent city in the region, with a population greater than that of London at that time and had about 400 temples in the capital."

"“The whole city enjoyed happiness throughout all seasons. Now it weighs heavily on my breast to see Ayutthaya disappear. Where can I find its equal? It is as if a crystal has lost its shine, Each day brings new destruction How can its glory ever be restored?”"

"Built firmly on the foundation of close traditional ties and in the spirit of good neighbourliness, Malaysia and Thailand have, over the years, built an impressive network of cooperation. This has brought about great success in the fight against communist terrorists along our common border, which culminated in the elimination of the communist threat in 1990. We have equally benefitted from our cooperation in such fields as anti-drug trafficking measures, agriculture, transport and communications."

"Then US terrorist activities shifted over to Southeast Asia. If you want to carry out terrorist activities, you need local people to do it for you, and you also need secret money to pay for it, clandestine hidden money. Well, if you need to hire thugs and murderers with secret money, there aren't many options. One of them is the drug connection. The so-called Golden Triangle around Burma, Laos and Thailand became a big drug producing area with the help of the United States, as part of the secret wars against those populations."

"Thailand, which was long considered a safe haven in Southeast Asia for exiles fleeing from persecution, has been helping neighboring countries repress refugees and dissidents, [Human Rights Watch (HRW)] said in a report Thursday."

"The royalist elites and military cannot completely defy the will of the people."

"Thailand, once infamous for the enslavement of migrant workers aboard its fishing vessels, sought to reform its image with the Royal Ordinance on Fisheries in 2015, aimed at clamping down on unregulated fishing and brutal treatment of workers on fishing vessels. Yet, the newly-elected Pheu Thai administration’s initiative to soften these stringent measures has sparked fears of undoing the strides made in protecting workers’ rights."

"The potential of Thai athletes to reach the level of world champions is significant. However, to support athletes in achieving success, various factors come into play. Teqball is a relatively new sport, and the [Teqball Association of Thailand] was established not too long ago. We are working hard for the success and in building a strong reputation for Thailand in the coming years."

"If we couldn't see the sun rising off the shore of Thailand, would you ride then?"
