Thai airways make emergency landing.
This news tell about an emergency landing of Thai Airways Boeing 747. The airplane has some engine problem after 20 minute take off. When the airplane take off with 330 passengers, It fire broke out one of engine. This reason make emergency landing to this airplane. Fortunately, this event does not have injured people. After safely landing, people on the plane are evacuated from airplane to safe place. People who are responsible say this airplane pass pre-flight inspections
In my opinion, airplanes should be the safest vehicle. Why does Thai Airways let this situation occur? This situation destroy the image of tourism of Thailand, and it make credibility of Thailand tourism worse. Eventhough, all of passengers and crew is safe but reliability of people do not safe too.
BRT starts operation.
Sukhumbhun Baripatra, the Bangkok governor, is the head of function to start Bangkok the bus rapid transit (BRT). He say, first time BRT will run between Sathorn and Rachapruck, and BRT fee will be zero baht untill 31 August 2010. Since 1 September 2010 the BRT fee will be set up at 10 baht though of route, four months. 2 January 2011, the BRT fee will be full price that fee depend on distance, start from 12 baht to 24 baht.
In my opinion, this transit system is not good for Bangkok. It will make traffic worse. Now traffic in Bangkok is very bad, when this transport system come to roads in Bangkok. Traffic is worse. Someone think this transport system approach to help traffic in Bangkok but in my thought it does not help. Eventhough, fee of this system is low but it can use in a small area. That is not fair for people who live suburd.

Thai students get gold in mathematical olympiad!!
6 Thai students get 1 gold and 5 silvers at the international mathematical olympiad in Kazakhstan. They give opinion about before competition and after competition. They say about why they can compete at international competition. They say they are interesting in math and practice it too much. They are diligent about studying, and don't give up difficulty of mathematics.
In my opinion, I think studying of Thailand is very bad. Students study too much. We have to remember all of formulas, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and a little Biology. But in the developed countries, I heard they don't remember but they analyse and understand formulas. In this case, Thai students are really good that collect gold and silver of maths olympiad.
U.S.-Thai Alliance
A Renewed U.S. - Thailand Allince for the 21st Century. It discuss about relation between U.S. and Thailand. In this meeting explain about strategic engagement in the Asia-Pacific region, business, communication and sociality especially studying. This event affect to studying of Thailand and U.S. too much. It give opportunities for Thai people and U.S. people. We have more exchange students. We exchange tradition and culture more time. That mean, Thai people have chances for learn language.
In my opinion, I think this is a very good way for develop Thailand's studying because Ennglish is an important language nowadays. This is a good chance for develop Thailand's studying about language. Thai students can exchange to U.S. easier, and we can change tradition and culture with U.S. more time.

Davis Cup
This news is Tennis's success of Thailand. We can win other countries, especially contries in Asia, and This news show Thai people abilities that can compete on the International contries. Really I like tennis very much but i seldon play tennis, because I don't have time and friends who play together.
Thailand's tennis players have a program go to the tennis Davis cup zone Asia semi-final round group 2 with Indonesia's tennis team in Jakarta between July 9-11 for return to group 1. Captain Paradon tell his aim in this tournament is returning to group 1 again, and preparing of athletes that can won the oceania pacific's team 5-0.
In my opinion, I think Thailand's tennis team should be a winner that captain Paradon say because Thailand's tennis team take long time to prepare. They have spirit for play tennis and have Thailand population always support them. Although rank of Indonesia' players are higher than rank of Thailand's players. I think it is not important because tennisball is a circle, eveything can happen. I cheer up Thailand's tennis team.
Thongchai Jaidee in Scottish open
I choose this story because Thongchai is a good golf player of Thailand. He has a good talent, nice ability and very good discipline in game of golf. This news tell about Thailand people who can play sport in international competitions expecially golf sport. Every competitions, He can pass a final round and keep his rank for playing in high competitions.
Thongchai was in joint 20th. Opening round in Scottish Open, Thongchai Jaidee can shoot excellent. His shooting was four-under 67. In a second round, Thongchai Jaidee got three birdies but got six bogeys. It was bad because his shooting was 74. He was in joint 20th place, it's above cutting line.
In my opinion, Thongchai Jaidee is a very very good athlete. He deserves to play in high competitions and get honor. He make Thailand well known, and He support sport school in Thailand that give chances for youth to play sport.
