Any other questions. You’re asking for the Encyclopedia Britanica of answers to Thailand.

You seriously think you can get a quality answers from Facebook regarding all that in one post?

Write each question at the top of a single piece of paper and start doing some homework.

Moving to Thailands not a walk in the park or a one and done answer to everything.

I hope she is a good woman for you and it works out well.

Congrats. I see and hear that a lot on Facebook and Farang I meet. When I ask how long someone has been married I usually get the “We are not married, she just got pregnant”

Like it was a magic trick.

How does child support work in this country or do folks just block their number and disappear?

It’s a total of $10,000 anywhere outside the USA. If you have 5 accounts in different countries totaling $10,000 or more you need to file.

I’m not there yet but it appears the filing is going to be simple. Do a little homework. Why spend money on an agent, when you don’t have to.

Plus think of everything you’ll learn. Then again if you’re hands off have your account do it.

I have a Honda LEAD 125. It’s like a Buick Encore. It rips. I haven’t gone faster than 80 KM/Hour but it has plenty of power. I like it because it larger than most bikes, I’m a larger Farang and plenty of storage space under the seat. Enough for groceries or large backpack etc.

125cc is more than enough

They don’t want to let you have your money. More lost deposits and they don’t have the money and use your funds during that time to make money

Yes, not mandatory. The school I interviewed at wanted it. Different schools have different requirements. Agreed. For me I thought it was worth it to go through the process to gain some exposure to what I might expect. It's totally different but the TEFL forces to pull something together which is what I ended up having to do. It will give you great experience using ChatGPT or other AI tools to create parts of your lesson plan.

The TEFL will get you a little more pay per month.

If they want you they will help you get the visa

Awesome experience. They will love you. Get the TEFL. Do it online. I did. I used The TEFL Academy. It will take about a month. Nice and cheap no one cares where or how you got it. Don’t fall victim to the high price scams and vision of grandeur. They are experts at SEO marketing and sales not getting you a job.

Don’t waste your time applying for jobs in Thailand from outside the country. Get your TEFL, go to Thailand, get a job. This was the advice I got from someone online and that’s what I did.

Don’t waste your time on those teaching jobs in Thailand groups.

Start studying the job posting on ajarn but don’t apply. Once they know your here they will call you. Get your profile ready for ajarn.com. Make sure it shows you are now in Thailand. Schools will call you.
