Everyone here needs to relax. I know what he wants but he is not asking it correctly. Listen, just get the DTV for "cooking" so you can stay 5 years and you can study all the Thai you want. I think that is his true intention. Just FYI, all the Chinese are converting their ed visa into the DTV for "cooking." They cannot speak a word of Thai and they will not be able to cook. I would advise you guys to get the DTV because they will shut it off due to all the Chinese scamming the system.

Listen, part of me just want to open a bar by the beach and just relax at night. I don't care if I make money or not. But I have too many friends bleed money every month. I don't care about making money but I do care about bleeding money.

I think you need to just live here and understand the Thai culture before you want to do business here. I have seen too much in the last 18 months to know that this is not a place for us to open a business for profit. Again, a business for profit.

you ever wonder why you pay a restaurant stupid money when you can buy the ingredients and follow the recipe on line?

@Randy *****

the rule of thumb is only for university level. We were learning elementary Thai. But I still put in 2 hours a night of work.

@Brandon ***********

i think they changed to 2 hrs a day now. They listened to my feedback. After 2 hrs, everyone zoned out.

Listen, 300k doesn't even get you a work permit. That's spending for some of us in Bkk. Just take that money and put it in an index fund or US treasury.

2 nights at Elite in Thong Lor for me

@Uwe ***

listen, they do care. The problem is that they are lazy. Coming from America it amazes me how lazy the Thai people are in this country.

Are you looking for a scam visa where you don't attend class or do you want to learn the language?
