@Todd ********

last I checked the teaching profession was exempted.

My wife of 15 years was denied tourist visas twice, both pre-Covid during the Trump presidency. She had already been to the States twice (2005 and 2011) on a previous tourist visa. I provided her with tons of paperwork, including photos of her elderly parents, our school here in Thailand, her university degree, etc....They didn't look at any of it. They just gave us a letter telling us to try again ($$$) and provide more info. What is the point of supplying more if they don't even bother to look at it? It is a total disgrace. As a taxpaying US citizen I am appalled by this. All we wanted to do was attend out daughter's high school graduation. I am so disgusted by this that I never want to step foot on US soil ever again.

Not lung friendly recently either.

@Ruth ******

i sent you a pm

I have found that the best way to learn Thai is by teaching Thai kids English. An option to consider perhaps...

@Wayne ******

you beat me to it.

@Sam ******

agree...it's all about curiosity and motivation. There are no quick fixes.

I am a US citizen with a Thai wife of 16 years. She has been to the US twice, in 2005 and 2011. Her previous tourist visa expired and she was twice refused a new one. Officials refused to even look at the mountain of paperwork we provided on the second try. We have a daughter, raised here, now living there with my sister. No explanations, no apologies...nothing. An absolute disgrace.
