Why do teaching jobs in Thailand prefer native English speakers over non-native speakers like Indians?

Richard ********

Likely accent. I once translated for two people speaking English. One was a Thai bar girl the other was a German tourist. Both were speaking English, but neither could understand the other. It was pretty funny, the German guy kept getting upset saying "that's exactly what I said!". 😆

Thank you sir. She was born in Kalasin and still has a lot of family there, including both parents still alive. Lucky, she has a really sharp younger sister and a brother who works for the government (prison guard). We were told by the consulate here that she can get her Thai ID card here in L.A.

Thank you. I'll check them out. We did learn that the ID card and passport are the first step, but none the less, we appreciate your input.

Oh I know that Thai's love to give advice whether they know about an issue or not. I'm not looking for lay opinions, in my original post I asked for agents or law firms. Consulate/embassy... splitting hairs.
