He is the US Government Peterhol and I think you are refering to Mr Chainey (Excuse spelling if incorrect) I think Bush would sink without him personally. I don't work for Halliburton, just wanted to make that perfectly clear, I do know several people (Canadians) who do! I will however be as bold as to say that the Thai Government are probably paying quite well for that particular organisation to come up with an expat spolling tist, sorry, spelling test.
*(These are my own personal comments and in no way reflect the thoughts of my current Company, thank you)

I think most expats (Should the test be introduced) be capable of completing anything the Halliburton Group of Companies come up with for the Thai Government! 'The cat sat on the XXX? Please give another word for woven floor covering and attempt to spell it! That'll be 23 Million dollars please!! You think I jest?

In all, I think it (The Farang Exam) is a good idea actually and one I have thought should have been introduced into my own country some time ago. If you are going to live semi-permanently or permanently in another country then you should make an attempt to assimilate that countries language and culture. Only lazy b'stards don't in my opinion. They seem to learn words like "Benefits pliz! Where's is new house for me and family?" Need Taxi to Hospital for new Hip!" Etc

Anyway, before I get on my soapbox and tell the world what is wrong with that particular system in the UK at great lenght! (Did you spot it? - You passed) I would just like to say I have found a KitKat in my suitcase I didn't know I had and am now about to eat it.
