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

Neal *******

Thailand has no anti-discrimination laws. Too short, too fat, too bald, too old, perceived disability, actual disability, skin color, etc. Superficial judgments.

What should my friend do if denied entry to Thailand due to visa issues at Bangkok airport?

Neal *******

Perhaps not spending enough money. Immigration might be predisposed to think that multiple back to back no-visa entries are made by those looking to live in Thailand on the cheap and don’t support the Kingdom economy. Anyone that does this is at risk for being denied entry.

What essential preparations should I make before moving to Thailand from the US?

Neal *******

It is hot. Get used to the heat. A/C in homes for bedrooms but often not available or operated in living areas. People spend time in shopping malls to take advantage of air conditioning.

Why do budget airlines like Vietjet charge high fees for overweight luggage?

Neal *******

You said carry on bag. Obviously, you meant a checked bag. Carry on limit is 7kg. for Vietjet. My wife and I make sure not to exceed this limit. Most international air travel limits for a checked bag is 23kg. Never expect a break at the counter. Bags get weighed, policies are in writing. In English.

What are the visa options for my family if my wife applies for a DTV visa to move to Thailand?

Neal *******

You didn’t mention whether or not you have visited Thailand and stayed here for any length of time. Living here is different than vacationing here. Adjusting to the climate takes time. Sorry to go off on a tangent from what you asked about.

What travel document do U.S. permanent residents need for a Thai visa if they only have a reentry permit?

Neal *******

Definitely. They are in the US. Sell them on the benefits. Citizenship doesn’t need to be renewed every 10 years! Then they can have a US passport. Best wishes!
