@T**
. Will do. (I usually get on well with them).

@Tod ********
I’m actually doing a 90 day report tomorrow(Sisaket). Maybe best not to ask too many questions with them as it’s never been a problem up to now.

So what if contract is between g/f or wife & owner? (Farang lives there too)

Emily. Sometimes it’s nothing to do with luck or hard work. It’s to do with money or who you know. It’s a very corrupt society

@B**
. Fair comment but maybe it’s not when they are ‘ on the clock’ or some may be non native speakers.

HNY!

@B**
. It’s getting harder. Immigration do spot checks in schools/Uni’s and send people packing, if there are no WP’s in existence. It’s usually agency staff that get caught because of bad-practices.

Some non-native speakers have a clearer accent than some native speakers.

Some have degrees/masters and have no idea how to teach/ motivate too.

The easiest job to get(& nearly the only) is English Teaching. Many jobs are restricted for Thai’s only. Get a tourist visa from your own country. Find a job, then you will have to leave Thailand to get a ‘B’ visa, then a Thai work permit. Your school/Uni should guide you with this process. It might be also worth you doing a TEFL course.

Ken. No. I’m saying if your applying for an extension based on retirement (50yo +), you need either

1) 800,000b in your sole Thai bank account.

2) 65,000b p.m. income

Or

3) a combination of the above making a combined 800,000b.

Example: 30,000b income & 460,000 in Bank.

That 3rd option is not available for an extension based on marriage.
