How difficult is it for a foreign-born person with no Thai language skills to find a job in Thailand?

Kerry Davison proving who the birth certificate is, is the hard part. Just getting a visa extension with your passport is a task, can you imagine this?

Kerry Davison In another post the OP said they have lost their adoption papers.

Kerry Davison If she can prove Thailand citizenship and ID first..

My understanding is that at this stage she has not been able to confirm that..

So up until then will be treated the same as any other foreigner entering Thailand on a foreign passport..

Aside from the language barrier, any private school or university where a decent salary is offered, it’s important to the school and to the parents that a white European looking teacher that is fluent in English is standing in front of the students.

It’s more about appearances and less about actual education that will benefit the students.

That’s just the way it is.

Paul Franklin because they'll expect the OP to be proficient in Thai and understand Thai culture. This is the same in every other Asian country. If you don't look Korean, and live in Korea, they won't be mad if you can't speak Korean, but if you look Korean, and you can't speak Korean, many get mad. It's a fact, not an opinion.

Paul Franklin I worked with a woman who was of Thai descent but raised in England and had a proper university degree in education. She was fluent in English, but only spoke Thai like a foreigner and couldn’t read or write Thai. The school refused to pay her an international salary like the other western teachers because she is of Thai descent. She ended up negotiating to get the same salary as the Filipino teaching staff, which was more than the Thai teaching staff was making. It was a horrible experience for her because the Thais resented the fact that she made more than them, but she resented the fact that the other Western teachers, with the same credentials as her, were making more than her. This poor woman was treated so unfairly simply because she is Thai. Fortunately, she knew her worth and ended up going to another school who actually valued her credentials over her dual nationality. Unfortunately, stuff like this does happen in Thailand. Especially in instances where they are looking for white foreigners.
