Does Thai immigration know my travel history when I renew my passport?

Why do teaching jobs in Thailand prefer native English speakers over non-native speakers like Indians?

Allan ********

“Command of”. They probably don’t want their kids sounding like they’re phoning from a scam call centre. It’s more accents and dialects. Doubt they would hire many other Europeans with perfect English either. English, American, Australia make better and easily available options.
