     Sa'Wad'Dii- Kha" Tuk^ Khon-

	Does anybody remember that couple months ago we had a discussion
here in SCT to decide on the standard Thai Romanization to be used in SCT
in order to avoid the misunderstanding due to different ways of romanizing 
Thai language?

	As I recalled, Khun Parames did came up with a standard system and 
posted it in SCT.  He even asked for voting on some part of the system that 
had not been settled at the time.  Unfortunately, just a few of us took part
on that vote. 

	Anyway, I think we (the persons who voted), did agreed on Khun 
Parames proposed system. I've hardly ever seen anybody use it, however.

	In my opinion, we really need to have one standard system that we
all know and use in order to avoid any misunderstanding that might occurs,
and also to overcome the difficulty of reading different ways of Thai 
romanization (we have to admit that sometime Thai romanization is so
confusing, it can only be read by the person who wrote it!! :) )

	Hence, I do urge us to start using Khun Parames's system, or even to 
start a new discussion to find a standard which "more" of us agree on.

	(For those of you who recently joined us in SCT and have no idea
what in the world I was talking about :), and are interested in having more 
info about this,  please send me an e-mail, and I will gladly provide you
the information.)

     	I would like to thank you all in advance for helping me out :)
My life has been miserable because of my naivity in reading my own language 
written in Roman characters!!!!  Sometimes it took me an hour to figure out
one short phase!!  I desperately need some help :)

     Thanx in advance :)

intention in setting up R&D labs in Thailand.  Please inform me further
development of your plan.  I am ready to introduce you to seniors in S&T
in Thailand to you, if you want.  I will be posting the Seventh National
Plan on Econimic and Social Development(1991-1995): S&TD part, in this
net soon.  I hope such info. will gain interest from many Thai

"Technologically Independent" from other advanced countries.

    Please stand by.  Info. you requested will be forwarded after this mail.

I don't think you'd like that.   Aren't a lot of really unpleasant Thai
brothels run like businesses?   Surely you wouldn't want to work there?
Also, businesses sometimes trade short-term profits for long-term losses.
What if it were profitable to round up the population for slave labour?
(Actually, I'm pretty sure that you weren't serious, but I thought I'd
point out some problems anyway.)

Some influential liberal publications in the U.S. are claiming that public
polls have a strong tendency to skew the election results.   Public opinion
polls here are often done by the news media, who are allegedly unbiased,
so the polls outcomes should be relatively unbiased, although perhaps
statistically invalid.

If unbiased polls can damage election results, it's frightening to think
what effects a biased opinion poll might have.   I think you're quite right
to be worried about opinion polls run by the government, regardless of
whether or not they're an excessive expenditure of tax money.

Today (12th August 1992) is Her Majesty The Queen's Sixtieth
Birthday.  This is also the National Mother Day and Her Majesty
is considered "The Mother of Thailand".

There were a large number of events to celebrate the Birthday
but the one that impressed me most on TV was the "golden dragon"
show.  The dragon was similar to the ones used in Chinese
celebration.  This one was about twenty meters long.  There were
lights flashing all over the body.  The group of people who
"move" the dragon attempted to make the dragon climb a pole in
persuit of the flashing crystal ball held by one of the team
on another pole.

The crystal ball was out of reach.  The dragon, in frustation,
knocked the ball down.  But the ball came back, dancing
teasingly ever more.  The dragon then spew a tongue of flame at
the crystal ball and fire erupted on every side as showers of
firecrackers shot up all around the act.

So he is NOT world champion!   The world snooker champion is Stephen
Hendry, who I think it is accurate to say, is not a Thai.

Tong Sitchoi has been professional for a few years now, and has reached the level
of no 7 in the world.  Congratulations to him, he is a great player, but
world champion he most certainly is NOT!

SO WHAT!!!??!!  you haven't replied to my comment at all!!!

The IOC has a rule that before a sport can be introduced into the olympics
it has to have a fairly wide following throughout the world - the formal
definition is that it has to be played at a fairly serious level in
(about) 45 countries.  Now, I wonder how half of the sports in the Olympics
get past this definition, but be that as it may, Seprak Takraw is played in
about 10 countries in Asia, and therefore has very little chance of getting
into the Olympics.


By the way, I think it is an extremely skilful game, I'm shocked at some
of their manouvres, but I don't really enjoy watching it, because the rallies
are too short.  Most of the rallies consist of only two or at most 3 kicks,
and then the point is over.  They really ought to experiment a bit to make
the game for flowing - but that is just a personal opinion.

The Honorable Prime Minister Arnand Punyarachun's account on
chulkn.chula.ac.th is the result of his being a member of the
Chulalongkorn University Senate.  We have many important people on the
committee to help steer the University.

After the start of the Internet Gateway, we put in the accounts for the
members of the Senate in honor for them.  We expect them to use the
account soon but not this soon.  It is our mistake to underestimate the
speed which electronic news is going around the world.

I am going to consult with the President of Chula (Dr. Charas
Suwanwela, "charas@chulkn.chula.ac.th" - again pending real/practical
use, but you can try).  We think of submitting the letters (the current
ones and any future ones) to Khun Arnand so as to speed up things.

So maybe you can try this "private urgent" channel to reach the
Prime Minister, then pray :)

P'Tawit Krub,

    Please be frank to me, what would you say if Thai Govt. invites you
to set up some facilities/research labs in Thermal Sciences/CFD in
Thailand.  You're right.  Without expertise in these areas,our
production plants hardly operate efficiently.

    I hope that Thai professionals ,who have lots of experiences, won't
stand still when there is demand for their helps (, eventhough, it's not
publicly advertised).  Following to this message, I will post a series
of information on "Major Problems and Limitation in S&TD in Thailand"

Best regard,

	UPI reported from Bangkok for the clari.news.gov.international that
a high ranking Thai officer, Lt.Gen.Kitti Rattachaya, the 4th Army Region's
commander, told reporters, after a thorough investigation, that the blast
that killed three people and injured 74 people in southern Thailand was 
staged by Muslim separatists. The bomb occurred on August 13. The group
which is known as PULO and had been in low profile for the last 
few years, claimed responsibility for such action in a letter sent to the 
to the public. 
	Since Chamlong Srimuang, a retired general one of the leaders in
prodemocracy rally last May, was scheduled to visit Hat Yai where the bomb
took place for his campaign to support his fellow MP candidates, it is 
also speculated that the bomb might have aimed at him. Some Thai newspapers
reported speculations that such bomb might have been set by a military group
to express their irritation with the result of the military Bigs' reshuffle.
General Wimol Wongwanich, the newly appointed army in chief, quicky denied 
such report. He threatens to sue anyone who generate such accusations.
