Why do teaching jobs in Thailand prefer native English speakers over non-native speakers like Indians?
Peter *******
Don't think the colour of your skin has anything to do with it. The main criteria is native speaker. Many non native speakers command of English is good but their accented English is difficult to understand. Indian call centres a good example.

Having said that native English speakers from Geordie land are not easy to understand 🤣

What should I do if my retirement visa has expired after leaving Thailand without a re-entry permit?

They didn't have a tourist visa. They had a 'retirement' visa or extension. Now they have a 60 day visa exempt.
