Letter of the week

GIVING THEIR ALL My Nickname’s Ja, and I’m 18 years old. At present, I'm graduating from Matayom 6. I'm worried about paying for college and what I'm going to study. My parents have low salaries, but they told me that they will send me to college until I graduate and wish me to attend. I appreciate my parents, and I won’t disappoint them. Anchan Chaopa, Uthai Thani You're lucky to have some great parents, Ja. They're willing to sacrifice and work hard to help you have a brighter future. Always keep their generosity in mind when you're studying. Work hard and prove to them that their faith and trust in you isn't misplaced. Right now the best thing you can do is work hard and make the most of everything they're working so hard to give you. — Editor

PROTEST FATIGUE

I'm tired of all the protesters who are still on the streets all over Bangkok. They are causing lots of trouble, not just in the capital, but all over the country.

It is hard to get anywhere in Bangkok because the traffic is so bad. You have to listen to the loud voices of the speakers whenever you're in the protest areas. Tourist business is being hurt a lot.

Some people have been injured, and some have even been killed. It's a bad situation for everybody.

I wish that both sides of the argument would negotiate and come to an agreement. There needs to be compromise from both sides.

Ekkachai Aumphipat,
Bangkok

I know it can be pretty frustrating, dealing with all the chaos that's happening around the city, Ekkachai. Unfortunately it looks as though the protesters have really dug in, and they don't look to be going anywhere anytime soon. You're right, there needs to be some compromise for the good of the whole country. Unfortunately, both sides seem pretty unwilling to bend at the moment. Let's hope it'll get better soon. — Editor

MOVED BY A MONSTER

I recently saw a trailer for the new movie Godzilla, which comes out in May. I am very excited to see this movie.

The first Godzilla movie came out in 1954. Since then there have been many movies starring this famous monster.

I really like Godzilla movies, and I am really looking forward to seeing this new movie in May.

Nattaporn Kaewviyudth,
Bangkok

I'm a big fan of Godzilla myself, Nattaporn. I've watched Godzilla movies since I was a kid. Some of them are pretty silly, but some are quite good. I hope that the new movie isn't as terrible a disappointment as the American version from the 1990s. — Editor
