Sawasdee kha,

I need your help.  About a month ago, I had posted an article
about how UCLA students're trying to put on our First Annual Thai
Cultural Night, and I had received a few suggestions for the
program.  I would like to thank those who had responded, and
we might be incorporating some of those ideas for future
cultural programs.

Originally, we would like to have a chorus to sing the song
"KhaNumNom", but we were unable to find the music for it.
Since our program is on Mother's Day, we feel it's appropriate
to sing the song.   I was wondering if anyone might have the
lyrics (preferably written in English) and the tape to this song.
I will personally pay for the shipping within the US.  Please
email me if you can help us with this dilemma.

I would deeply appreciate your help.

Khop khun kha,
Wila

  (1) I was asked to form a MoSTE student club which,I think, would be one of

very busy w/ some technical activities.  Anyone who is interested in doing
this activity, please contact Khun Sirithun (OSTC) tel.no (202) 364-2800-2.
Suggestion and comments are also welcomed.

  (2) If you are using this netnews, could you please e-mail me.  I would
like to check whether or not I should post some materials related to S&TD,

Is this true? I thought that TaSomboon has never been pressed
with the 'unsually-rich' charge. He never expected himself to 
be the next PM since he has been the Chief of ChartThai Party.
Remember, Mr. Sanoh Tiantong, one of keymen of ChartThai Party
told people that if Mr Narong was not ready to be a PM, TaSomboon
would be ready for this position. But that was the time before the
election and you can see how can we believe what he said.

I don't see why this kind of need can not be satisfied here in the s.c.t. First
of all, we should be aware that this newsgroup is not a "newsgroup" like
the clarinews or SEASIA-L which its main purpose is to report news development.
Our s.c.t stands for soc.culture.thai. If I am not mistaken the term "soc" 
should stand for social or socializing. What Khun "Chua-Nid-Nirun" has asked
for is exactly what this newsgroup is all about. Hence, IMO, anybody who
would like to use this channal for such purpose should be encouraged to
go ahead doing it. 

Don't forget that history is not composed of only institutionalized documents.
History is story of the people. Any feeling-sad or anger, happy or boresome,
grief or excitement or whatever that is essential to human beings should find
its place here in the s.c.t. if we will claim that the newsgroup is a
historical processor.

What do you guys think?

Subject: Two new Bangkok electric tram lines in 1996
Date: 13 Apr 92 17:01:16 GMT
Organization: Digital Equipment (Thailand), Ltd.

An 18 billion baht contract has been signed between tha Bangkok Metropolitan
Administration and Tanayong Co Ltd for two lines of elevated electric trams
for city commuters.

The first line is a 6-km Victory Line, running from the Victory Monument to
Surasak Road. The other line will be the 8.5-km Sukhumvit Line, running from
the Klong Tan intersection to the Pathumwan intersection along Sukhumvit and
Ploenchit roads.

The entire project is expected to be completed and become operational within
4 years from now. Fare will be 15 baht a trip.

This is a different project from the one handled by the Expressway and Mass-
Transit Authority of Thailand which has given a consession to Lavalin
International to build lighweight elevated electric urban train system
within Bangkok metro area. It is also a different one from the elevated
train/road/land development project that the State Railways of Thailand has
granted to a HK-based Hopewell Co.

Bangkok Governer election will be held on April 19. Top three issues being
debated are: traffic, environment (air/water pollution and garbage
collection), and city planning. Of all 18 contenders, four came from
political parties namely Democrat, New Aspiration, Palang Dhamma and
Prachakorn Thai, with Palang Dhamma in a defending position.

Visnews on the night of April 5. He wrote that they "manhandled" the
Visnews employee and asked him questions about the home address, car and

   The men "left the clear impression that they were searching" for the
correspondent "with the intention of doing him harm" or at least to
intimidate him, said Cooney's letter, released Saturday by Reuters.

THANK YOU...THANK YOU...SOOO MUCH... from me and the rest of the UCLA
Thai Smakom.

This is wonderful!  I can't believe the help we're getting and so quickly.
I know you must have spent some time typing the lyrics, and I really 
appreciate you help.  Actually, this comes just in time because I was
going to have the students rehearse on this at our meeting today (I got
an English version as well from another club member).

So, now I'll just try to find the music for it.

Again, Khun Samart, you are a big help to our Cultural Night.  I hope that
if you around LA during May 10th, please come by to see our program.

Date: 8 Apr 92 00:54:21 GMT
Organization: Digital Equipment (Thailand), Ltd.

Taken partly from The Nation 8-Apr-1992


 - Thailand's new prime minister .. Gen Suchinda Kraprayoon
 - ACM Kaset will take over as supreme commander while retaining the top air
   force post
 - Gen Issarapong would be made army chief
 - Anand's policies will remain
 - Outsiders for economic post
 - Ministers must be acceptable
 - TV turns blind eye to protest rallies
 - Appointment sure to set back Khmer ties
 - US says Suchinda never denied a visa
 - Stock market reacts positively


 Suchinda gave an interview after a ceremony in which he received the royal
command appointing him the country's 19th prime minister yesterday evening. His
Majesty the King endorsed his nomination in an audience he granted to National
Peacekeeping Council Chaiman Gen Sunthorn Kongsompong and House Speaker Dr
Arthit Urairat. 

 Army Commander in Chief-designate Gen Issarapong Noonpackdee, in his capacity
as secretary general of NPKC, brought the royal command to Suchinda's residence
in the army compound for the ceremony which was broadcast by an army-run TV
channel.

  
 "I am ready to come under fire now that I have decided to talke up the
political post or play politics as they say, " Suchinda said. "I have
sacrificed myself for that matter.

  His declaration over the selection of ministers has set the stage for some
hectic behind-the-scenes manoeuvring today when the leaders of the five
government parties -Samakkhitham, Chat Thai, Social Action, Prachakorn Thai and
Rassadorn -meet with him to decided on the formation of the Cabinet.

  Suchinda was evasive when asked about reports he did not want politicians
ruled "unusually rich" by the Assets Investigation Committee in his new
Cabinet. "Let me put it this way: Every prime minister wants to form as popular
and as acceptable a Cabinet as he can. This is the responsibility of any prime
minister," he said.

  "This is something we have to consider and talk about with each other. Those
politicians whose assets were seized have reasoned that the fact that they were
elected by the people shows they have the people's supprt. They have also
contended that the orders by the Assets Investigation Committee to seize their
assets are not final until courts reaffirm them." he said

  "I am determined to be patient with criticisam and attacks. From now on, I
would like my brothers in the armed forces to treat me as an ordinary civilian.
Please do not take criticism against me seriously or else you will be worried
all the time that you have to come out to defend the pride of the armed forces.

  "I am serving the country as a civilian and not as a general. I believe I
must be patient and I must be able to take the criticisam and finally go
through with it, " he told a group of top army officers, led by Gen Issarapong,
who showed up in force to display their support for his appointment as PM.

It's a law of power and benefits.  One has power to benefit or
bury another.  Once the first one steps down from the power,
he will lose.  Just wonder if TaSuchinda were only a 'TaSee'
