I don't know about that...Khun Samart. This could backfire. The P
might think that they are well protected (and implicitly recognized).
This gives them an extra incentive to continue the profession
as well as encourage others to follow suit.

IMO, if we love them, we must pretend that we hate them. We must
illegalize P and semi-P business (of course brothel and pimp
as well). Khun Abi said this would give
the police a free hand. Well, then, don't give the police a free
hand; make sure that arrested Ps are treated with human dignity.
Perhaps, we should form a special police force to deal exclusively
with P. The officers are recruited exclusively from previous Ps.

All P arrested should be put in a (very humane) re-education camp
for a year. The camp will, in a humane way, indoctrinate them with
proper mental culture and also teach them other professional skills
to survive in the society. One year in re-education like this would
also give them time for the previous collective behavior to gradually
dissipate.

EMPOWER and other organizations like it could then work with the camp
(or even run the camp themselves as a consortium.) They would help
publicize the project, raise fund, and solicit volunteers for pro-
fessional teachings, etc.

I think we should do something with the P customers. They should be
arrested and fined (the fine money is then used to support the camp,
and have photo taken (the photo is published or posted in
the public newspaper/board if re-caught), and inform the relatives 
(wife, mom-dad). (Now that I'm out ot it; it's OK :-)

I posted long ago that even without considering other humanistic virtue,
like universal love and compassion, we should still be grateful to our P. 
They have sacrificed their bodies to attract many rich tourists to our
country so that we are all better off. We should all try to help them
to gain their human's values back.

THE Army wants its personnel to be more open to receive and
disseminate news to suit the modern world in the Age of Information,
Army Chief Vimol Wongwanich said yesterday.
 
Gen Vimol was referring to the Army's seminar on its public relations
work which ended yesterday.
 
"In the Age of Information, it is very important for us to establish
good understanding with the people. So we want our public relations
personnel to know how to achieve this goal," he said when commenting
on the objectives of the seminar.
 
On the subject of the moral necessity of informing the people of news
as opposed to preserving military secrets, Gen Vimol said: "We must be
able to make a suitable decision about what should be made known to
the public."
 
To be better informed, the Army will invite experts in various fields
to speak at its monthly meeting, he said.
 
Gen Vimol joked: "We have tried to get in touch with the people for a
long time. In fact, the signs `Military Zone. Off-limits to outsiders'
are only old structures erected a long time ago."
 
Assistant Army Chief Gen Yutthana Khamdee, who presided over the
closure of the seminar, said what had been learned from the seminar
will be put into practice to better inform the public of the Army's
affairs.
 
Army deputy secretary Col Banchorn Chavalsilp said the Army's public
relations work in the past was more like propaganda, which caused the
people to lose faith in the Army.
 
He said an adjustment in public relations methods would give a clearer
picture of the Army's responsibilities.
 
The use of radio and television to disseminate information will also
be stepped up, he said.

Yes...there are many places of them around Bangkok. (eg. The Voice, Carina..)

>        2. What is the covercharge for these bars?  Do you have to buy alcohol?

If you are not member, they will usually charge you around 200-250 Bahts for
one drink. You don't need to buy alcohol. But any drink you ordered will be
at 200-250. So a diet Coke can cost you 250 Bahts. 

>>3. What language are the words of the songs?

For Thai songs, some are Thai only while other have both Thai and english
"reading". There are also some Japanese song that have Thai pronunciation.

If it is Karaoke bar then all of them are Laserdisc.

Yes...they are all NTSC standard. So you can use it in USA.

IMHO, that's depend on the situation.

 Sawasdee Khrup Tuk Kon,

   Hopefully my questions about Thai views on Prostitution have *not* alienated
 everybody?  Anyway, how about a lighter topic?

   I remember being asked by a Bangkok Taxicab driver if I liked Karaoke.
 Karaoke is the Japanese idea of having a good time.  You sit in a bar and
 watch a video of your favorite song.  The lead singer's voice is missing,
 so you sing the song instead of the real lead singer.  All words for the
 song are conveniently displayed on the video.  Assuming the bar is *not*
 too smoky and you remembered to wear your glasses, you can read the words
 and sing the song.  Maybe other people will appreciate it and throw Baht. :-)

   Actually, I do like Karaoke, but I was so busy during my last visit that
 I never had a chance to visit a Thai Karaoke bar.  I regularly visit a
 Japanese Karaoke bar in San Francisco.  The music is available in Japanese,
 Cantonese, Korean, or English.  I also regularly visit a Chinese Karaoke
 bar in San Jose.  The music is available in Mandarin or English.  I also
 regularly visit 3-4 Vietnamese Karaoke bars in San Jose.  The music is
 available in Vietnamese, Cantonese and English.

   I like to sing, but usually the notes are too high for my voice.  Also, I
 do *not* like to have everyone watch me sing.  :-)

 Questions:

 	1. Does anyone know the location of Thai Karaoke bars in Bangkok?

        2. What is the covercharge for these bars?  Do you have to buy alcohol?

	3. What language are the words of the songs?

	4. Do Thais use LaserCD or VideoCassette to record Karaoke music?

	5. If I bought a LaserCD in Thailand, could I play it in America?

 	6. Do Thais like to sing love songs to each other?

And don't forget the following:

PHYSICAL
--------
	- Thai women make great sexual partners
	   Just go down to any club on Pat Pong street, and everyone will agree
that the level of bodily control that it takes to perform some of those tasks
are awesome.  Imagine what they can do to you in bed.

CULTURAL
--------
	- Thai (and Asian) women likes Western men
	   No mystery here, you see it all the time in movies (Wayne's World,
KickBoxer,Tai Pan, ..the list goes on and on..)  Even the geekiest white man
who can't even get a date with a 250lb white women would have no trouble 
getting himself a beautiful Thai woman.


Geez, why am I wasting time discussing this topic, I'm going out to find 
myself a Thai woman!!

----------
But seriously Tim, would I be unconsciously insulting Americans if I were to
say that the reason Thai men like American women is because American women
puts out, not like Thai women?

No one wants to "exclude" soldiers from the Senate.
They just want to cut down the stupidly large number of seats (270) in

I just want to add that out of 270 seats in the upper house, 163 (if I
remember correctly) are military personnels (or under military quotas).  
That means, if the Senate were to represent career groups, 60% of the 
population would be soldiers!!!

Moreover, only 4% (again -- if I remember correctly) of the seats represents
academics, scholars, and other (non-major) career groups.  

So, if we view the Senate as how we Thais run and shape our country 
future, .... only 4% of the time do we use brain & knowledge ... 
... and (sadly) most of the time, 60%, Thailand is governed by tanks and 
her future is written by guns.

	I am a Chinese from Hong Kong and know nothing about Southeastern
Asian languages.  I am wondering if the people in the South East Asian can
understand (hearing or reading) each other from different coutries.  For
example, can an urban Thai understand Burmese?   Can a Thai living in the
rural area understand Burmese or Vietnamese?   My last question is about
the circularity of Chinese in Thai or other South East Asia countries.  Is
a Chinese dialect called "Chi Chow" popular in Thai? (I learnt from TV that
about 50% of Thai understant "Chiu Chow" language. I doubt it.)

	Thank you very much for your bandwidth and the time for reading my
posting.  I would be glad if anyone who cares to answer questions can send
me e-mial, because I rarely read scth.

P.S.	I made an observation that many Thai and Burmese's last name or
given name started with the syllable "Kh", such as "Khin".  Is it a popular
last name or just a frequently used syllable?

Hi,everybody.
	I've big trouble with my assignment about decision making in my academiccourse. If any of you know the answer, please help me. It due on Tue Dec 15,92 ,local time in the morning. The assignment is the following:


	An electrical system consists of two principle components. Failure of 
either can cause failure of system. A prior estimate of their individual
reliabilities is .5 and .6,respectively, as they come off the production line,
but in assembly there is a 50 percent chance of causing a failure to either,   
independent of their individual reliabilities. Either component may be tested
seperately before assembly, at respective costs of $50 and $60, but there is 
then only a .6 and .8 chance,respectively,of finding a fault leading to system
failure during a specified period of use. The assembled system can be tested at a cost of $120, and in this even any faults are detected with certainty. The
system is installed in a piece of oceanographic equipment, and its subsequence
failure during the period of use is estimated to cost $200 in data loss,inspec-
tion,and repair.

	a). Determine the optimal preinstallation testing procedure.

	b). How would a reestimate of failure cost at $300 modify your solution?

	Thanks again for your help..

MORE satellite towns should be built around Bangkok to ease traffic
congestion in the city, Bangkok Governor Krisda Arunvongse na
Ayutthaya said yesterday.
 
Mr Krisda said the BMA committee to draft the city plan, comprising
representatives of the National Housing Authority and Office of the
National Economic and Social Development Board, have agreed that
Bangkok's business concentrations must be expanded to the suburbs.
 
Every party had the same idea that satellite towns must be initiated
if the BMA wants to ease traffic congestion and improve living
conditions of residents by controlling Bangkok's development through
implementation of a proper city plan, he added.
 
The governor said the idea of introducing satellite towns or
sub-centres must be implemented to cope with Bangkok's growing
population which will reach 12 million in the next decade.
 
He said the BMA will designate sub-centres that will coincide with the
country's big projects such as the second international airport at
Nong Ngu Hao in order to create more jobs and prepare every facility
for people as an attempt to reduce commuter travelling time.
 
The BMA's City Planning Division has been assigned to study high
density vehicle areas and the number of car parks in the city within
six months in order to use the report to draft the new city plan, he
said.
 
The report will also be used when considering the granting of building
construction permits in the suburbs, he said.
 
He admitted that the designation of sub-centres will affect land
prices but the BMA will find measures to control this, such as by
forcing land speculators to pay back something to the city.
 
There will be no problem with infrastructures in the sub-centres, the
governor said, adding that it will take a long time to complete this
idea so infrastructures still have enough time to be completed.
