Indeed!. Actually I'm a little surprised at the timing of all this as I read not so long ago that the Thais were planning to buy 10 used submarines from the Germans. Apparently Germany is selling them because they no longer warrant the running costs and will be completely outdated in around 10 years anyway, so why Thailand would want them is beyond me. Their aircraft carrier is little more than a visitor attraction as they cannot afford to put it to sea... And still no mention from any of the political sides here about spending even a dime on the failing education system.

What a world we live in...
