There is still lots of Thais coming back and they stay for free. I personally know many that have come back from the US. They all just pay for the one way flight organized by the Thai Embassy. They then go to SQ once they arrive in Bangkok. Most of them say it’s very nice, clean with great food.
Daniel Mariani please ignore the rude comments. I would talk to the Thai Embassy in the US. Or find an international school here in Thailand and let them issue y’all a work permit. Maybe even teach here in Thailand for a while until Covid calms down in Myanmar. Good luck.
There was a guy from the US that was on my flight last week. He got everything done in 3 weeks. It depends on the school, how fast and hard they work on your case.
