		<description><![CDATA[I have only been to BKK so this is probably not a fair assessment but coming from a laid back country like Canada, I feel that many Thai elites are not interested in growing the economy in a way that benefits everyone, especially those at the bottom rungs of society who need help the most.  
I also think the culture of &quot;saving face&quot; is a bit extreme and that it might actually foster corruption since lying to save face is acceptable.  There are parallels with developed countries like Japan which also value &quot;saving face&quot; but their version is more extreme in that they are willing to &quot;hara-kiri&quot; (disembowel themselves) if caught in a situation that causes them to lose face with roots in the honor code of samurai culture.  But there are exceptions to the rule, ie. Japanese who take advantage of this honor code and make terrible judgment errors like those associated with TEPCO and how they did not build proper protection for the reactors in Fukushima.    
Anyways, it is not just a Thai problem as the US becomes more and more unequal in terms of wealth distribution and opportunities.  So as much as we all want to live in equality paradises like Scandinavia, it is sad to see so many poor people in the streets here with disfiguring injuries.  
It is understandable that with very little social security, most Thais are only interested in looking after their families and themselves.  However, I don&#039;t think I will stay very long because I feel too awkward walking around as a &quot;privileged&quot; person where as back home I am just average and don&#039;t feel like I need to watch what I say etc just for the sake of &quot;saving face&quot; for myself or others.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Please do not assume that a person with acne is &quot;dirty&quot;.
Now gently rub it on the scar in circular motion before rinsing with

little dab of makeup.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every one of the points listed by the President of JETRO are valid.  It would be better for Thai&#039;s to take them to heart  and work on them rather than reject them out of hand.  I first arrived in Thailand in 1965 so I think with 50 years of experience I am qualified to speak on this.  With the new ASEAN agreement going into effect these weak points will be clearly evident in a very short time rather than resort to anger.  I too am a Buddhist but can anyone honestly say that they are happy with the way Buddhism is going here?  Monks who drink, have expensive cars, invite women into their kuttis on the temple grounds etc.   Thailand has an education system that relies on rote learning rather than teaching students how to think.  As a result newly graduated Engineers have very little value and must be taught all over again.  Come on people get real and admit the faults and start the long process of correcting them or Thailand will be left in the dust]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Though it&#039;s very ewsy to perplex financial obligation administration as well ass 
financial obligation consolidation, there is a crucial distinction: Financial obligation consolidation iss something 
you can do yourself by obtaining a new loan that lets 
you pay off your creditors directly.
