If half the new Muay Thai trainees do a month's course, there are going to be an awful lot of people running about who know just enough to hurt someone but not enough to know when to stop!
on 2nd question, they like to see a thing called Certificate of Employment. I'd never heard of such a thing, but Google helped and I wrote one for myself saying I could work remotely etc, wet-signed, dated, company stamp - belt and braces
I used to pay for comprehensive expat insurance, but it has got much more expensive. So i changed to Genki. Haven't used it, but it seems to do everything the ones at 5x the price do
I went round and round in circles. Then a senior looking woman in the office beckoned me over and gave me her card which said something like "Your key to accessing public services".
I called her, met her behind the office, gave her some money and returned the next day to pick up the card 😁
I like my little pink card. I got it because I lost the book for my car. They insisted I needed a pink card to get a new one so i went and got one (wouldn't accept resident cert)....who knows if that's everywhere but I got it and they replaced the book with smiles.
