about how many tour guides are not properly qualified to speak English, and that this was hurting the tourism industry. Things do not bode well for the future, considering the English speaking abilities of the majority of students. Thai people have no choice but to improve their English conversational abilities, considering that tourism is the engine that drives Thailand's economy. Perhaps the situation is not so bad in the country as a whole as it is in the Northeast, or at least in the school where I taught. According to statistics, the above mentioned area contains a third of the population, yet only receives two per cent of all tourists annually. If the students here start speaking better English, then maybe this area can receive its fair share of the tourism pie in the
future.
