“Yannick, he swears he’s the guy from Dances With Wolves but I’m not buying it!”

That could be because most here that go there are pursuing a Doctorate of non-Philosophy in FineAss.

In case, like, any of us is going to be asexual.

Goes to show you that the average attention span of a netizen anywhere can be increased 70-fold in spite of an overly lengthy under-edited piece actually satirizing farangs. Next up, give them a free viewing of The Hangover 2, Crazy Rich Asians, and Joy Ride, etc, depictions that are actually more designed with lampooning in mind. Says a lot when a random local ESL lickspittle instructor gets to decide what is outré and lead the silly cancel pack. That’s his 15 seconds of fame done and dusted.

Well, cool cats, but one turning on him as cats are inclined to do. Any Yale grad knows that immaculate conception skips a generation. Technically it could possibly be a Caesarean but also possibly DIY without the “et tu …”.

The reason may be that they seem to waive the GMAT for, say, the MBA programs in the same business school. This may be due to existing research globally on correlations between the component scores and MBA subsequent academic grades. I personally like a challenge. If it were me and I had undertaken GMAT historically for Masters studies entry I would summarize by the end of today the available research on the predictive value (e.g. Pearson’s r) of GMAT component scores for whatever range and academic level of business school success will have been included. Depending on the findings, might make a pitch for waiver.

Now we’re talking. Here’s a start. ChulaU in BKK. Seems reasonably light on classroom credits, taught in English, and ridiculously inexpensive at merely $2,500 USD for each of the 4 years. And application processing fee waived if not accepted?!

This shouldn’t affect the majority of local trade since resistance training isn’t on their radar.

Perhaps the walked dog comparison reference point makes a difference.

You really have a knack for coming across as decompensating in the face of disagreement. It reminds me of your going-off-track assertions that various posters have never actually physically visited Bangkok when you find yourself at odds with their impressions and experiences of the city. You seem to reach the desperate measures threshold rather quickly. It is easy to know you. I myself would certainly have no need for your fandom.

That may be the case, but any one of those teams displaying congratulatory enthusiasm throughout a game would and should view embarrassingly a media representation of 5th or 6th place at a tournament’s end as a ‘massively’ impressive showing. In that context, such would be possibly considered to be sarcasm … no matter the exuberant pile ups of team participants that occurred at key game points. Again, to sum up, Hong’s vault is not the story of the Olympic Men’s Artistic Team Final. The story perhaps gets more folks to stop and look more, tune in to, events. Personalizing with the notion of a GOAT that is not nearly the GOAT is a way to reel in the reader emotionally. If I’m going to be a fan, it’s not by getting sucked in.

A joyous response following a good result means more genuinely competitive? Nonsense. I would add that none of the athletes, performance and standing rank notwithstanding, withhold emotive expressiveness subsequent to their event. My point is simply that the viewership may conflate adrenaline-fuelled air-pumping with grade of execution but judges do (or should) not. I doubt the US-centric media would have picked up the story if he had walked off poker-faced following the exact same result. If he was happy about an apparatus event and landing on his feet rather than his ass, good for him. What is impressive is that he has the versatility, compared to others in his team, to have been featured in 4 of 6 rotations, placing reasonably well and supporting a podium finish. That said, there was a lot more to be impressed about with respect to the Team Final.

6th place Vault score in a field of 24 is good. Enthusiastic fist pumping of air does not add points. 5th in Rings.

Legalities already discussed extensively elsewhere on the board, but reading this brief following revisions of Fall 2023 may assist in your choice. Some but not all unit hosts bit the bullet and applied for non-hotel registration. In my case I took a non-hotel apartment for 30+ days and a hotel room a few blocks away on top of that, but booked the apt prior to Hotel Act revisions and checked in following the revisions, so I suspect they had not been licensed, though mandatory hotel-type safety features such as smoke alarm and fire extinguisher were accommodated. I would ask the host for an explicit answer as to whether the Condo Act is invoked for the building or if the Condo Directors have posted a sign prohibiting ST rentals. Other clues are contained in the number and quality of reviews. Otherwise, if you visit frequently and it remains a single-choice dilemma wherein you can satisfy a non-ST stay for neither unit I suggest splitting your lodgings decision and you’ll have an idea of the better place in future. In that type of case I would overlap by one night so as not to be left in the lurch of a transfer afternoon. All that said, your host (and you) likely wouldn’t be subject to sanctions as the authorities cannot realistically stay on top of thousands of listings. https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/publication/950246/adb-brief-292-short-term-rentals-thailand.pdf

Out of lemons garnish. That alone qualifies for a Darwin Award.

If the hair style is offensive then what is offensive in a loaded way is the pseudonym Kiddy Smile.

Particularly useful if you have carpenter ants on your woody, though I’m sure 2.5 flicks per second would get a run for its money.

Apparently intoxicated foreigners and when saw the road sign to the district within which is located the village …

I heartily agree. A doctorate would be a huge goal unless it were to be put to good use beyond the interest factor, such as eventually teaching within the discipline’s subject matter. Not sure what would be open to the OP given Bachelor/ Masters background to date. Even then, some Thai language proficiency is recommended for foreign students. A doctorate also usually requires putting together a thesis committee. Most universities also have Continuing Education and/or non-credit programs and courses that can keep one occupied. Complex discussions exist out there related to the honorific of Dr, title protection, etc, in Thailand. https://aseannow.com/topic/727125-question-about-the-honorific-title-of-doctor-in-the-thai-language/

All my university students have been men and women of all backgrounds.
