@Bill *******

I hear you. It's obviously your first visit there. You'll be fine.

Bill Pierce Not many people respect this.. I was there yesterday and there were many people in shorts and tshirts. I think that as long as you look and behave politely, you'll be fine. What you describe as your attire for your visit is absolutely fine. Are you more likely to be viewed with a higher sense of respect? yes. But would they turn you away because you're wearing shorts? I've never heard or seen this happen. FYI, I wore a long sleeve shirt and long dark jeans with dressy Adidas shoes not because of the dress code but because I enjoy dressing nicely.

More than fine... A TShirt, shorts and flip-flops and anything above is fine

Why are you guys such old farts? He just stated that he goes to Phuket often. Seriously, you're more like old cranky women every day.

Plus the fact that they would 'process' things without your passport is a massive red flag.

Officially, you need a work permit to do this kind of work. But this is Thailand, for lack of better words, who knows. Some people actually pay to teach here and there are agencies that are built on a pay to volunteer model and officials turn a blind eye. I'll take a wild guess and say that if you pay anything to do this, then you're probably fine.

Two hours total.

Isn't it 10K for a 30 day exemption?

Yes, but only for certain countries. And it's not a tourist visa, but a visa exemption. What's your passport?

Thank you

@T**

for doing what you do... you rock!
