However the service fee for this can range from 2,000 to 3,500 thb depending on the time of year, and current situation. We only require passport, and we handle everything else on your behalf.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and concerns about teaching English in Thailand. We understand that living and working in a foreign country can come with challenges, including adapting to different cultural norms and navigating bureaucratic processes. It's important to approach these topics with sensitivity and respect for all individuals and cultures.

While it's true that experiences can vary based on various factors, such as appearance, it's not constructive to generalize an entire nation or its people based on personal experiences. It's crucial to recognize that experiences can be subjective and may not reflect the broader reality of living and working in Thailand.

In terms of Thai cuisine and culture, remember that every culture has its unique characteristics and values. Personal preferences and challenges in adapting to a new environment are valid, but it's important to express these opinions in a way that respects the diversity and richness of different cultures.

As a community, we aim to promote understanding, respectful dialogue, and the sharing of diverse perspectives. We encourage our members to share their experiences and opinions constructively, fostering cultural exchange and mutual support without resorting to stereotypes or offensive language.

Let's use this platform to support and learn from each other, embracing the rich diversity that comes with international experiences, and assisting each other in overcoming the practical challenges of living abroad.
