  1. I know that there are a lot of guided tours from BKK. I am wondering if it is better to take them or to travel on my own. I want to see the military sites as well as have a nice weekend away. Any assistance would be greatfully appreciated
  2. My 90 days did not have the time needed, so it was not approved this month. I just went in and got it redone when my visa had to be renewed. The best way I found is to redo the 90 days at the same time as you renew your 1-year visa that way they basically end around the same time.
  3. I did not say you could get the proper visa your question was do I need a degree to teach. 2 different things. If you are looking to get a work pernti to teach then you need to have a non o visa. Getting the proper visa is different a you need a non O and then you would need a work permit to teach that the school would have to arrange.
  4. You are missing one point I agree to get the licence or the work permit that you need the degree and to go through the hoops, BUT I can guarantee that the rules for hiring teachers are not always upheld. I worked in 2 different high schools and only had a TESOL degree. There are schools and agencies one is near Victory Monument that will hire and use anyone they can get.
  5. What part of the country are you living in? We are now in a more multi-coloured country than we were 10 years ago. Then it was red and Yellow Now, it is RED YELLOW AND ORANGE politically, and if you consider the LGBTQ+, add in the multi. This is a country more divided than it was when it was just red Yellow. I think it is also a more confused country. People that were strong believers in the colour of their party are now seeing them blow up in the name of political expediency. Consider 10 years ago, if you wore RED, that meant that you were against the military and pro-democracy. In all likelihood, a strong believer in the Thaksin parties. BUT WERE DEFINITELY NOT FOND OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY OR THE MILITARY ELITE THAT SUPPORTED IT. If you wore yellow, then you were a strong supporter of the King and all that he stood for, along with the military. You felt that the military had all the right ideas and that the elite were the people who knew. You probably voted DEMOCRAT, and heaven forbid thinking that Thaksin had any ideas he was the antichrist. Now you have the Yellow and Red joining forces, and you have the DEMOCRAT party all but extinct and supporting the PTP. You have Yellow and red joined together in government Now you have this hybrid that is a mix of Yellow and RED = Orange That people are flocking too. NO, this country is still colour-coded and will be for a long, long time.
  6. You need a TESOL certificate more than a degree. The issue is more about where you are going to teach and what you want to teach. If you are teaching in BKK, they will need one, but I am willing to bet that if you teach in the country, it is a different story. Schools and agencies will hire you the issue is the quality of the school. You may find that you can do just as well if you tutor after hours. You possess a niche in that you are, I would assume, multilingual. There are also colleges here in the country that can provide you with an educational degree to teach
  7. The challenge is that the Government and OLD GUARD want to have control. It has been that way since the start of the last century. Consider the education system. It does not deal with any outside information or challenge students unless they are elite. The system is still the same as it was when they started educating. The original schools were only to teach students of government employees how to do a job and replace their parents. NO MORE NO LESS Schools now are only teaching students enough to fill the jobs in Thailand and protect those jobs for Thais. There are a few that will go on to Western schools, but they are usually the elite and are going to replace their parents or network to improve the family business. GETTING BACK TO 2-5 If you take a look around the big cities or tourist areas, you will see that there is no 2-5 restriction. The only areas that have that restriction are in areas where there are a lot of Thai workers and not so much drinking tourism. Walk around the Pattaya Beach Road area, and you will see nothing but open bars with people drinking at 10 am. Same with NANA
  8. Have you ever lived in a Muslim country? Yes, Islam restricts what people can do, BUT I think if you look at Christian countries, you also see oppression, misery, trouble, and conflict. Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, when followed by radical extremism, are problems. However, when you live according to things and live a moderate life, then you find peace, and the religions are not bad. There are many Muslim people living in Western society who have no issues and get along great with others. Remember that a lot of the issues in early society were caused by the radical beliefs of Christians who felt that unless you believed and lived a true Christian life, you were evil.
  9. So now, instead of Paetong, we will have Prime Minister Thaksin. OH JOY Also, anyone that does not think that once he is free, he will have a miraculous recovery that will allow him to go home and play golf and run the party is smoking the bad stuff they are selling on the streets.
  10. Try tilalegal.com But agree you are going to have to take the docs to the Embassy yourself. because they are probably going to want a stat declaration
  11. Nope not even close. There are many more important laws to change. That being said I can understand 2 to 5 closing restricts late lunch and drunk drivers at rush hour.
  12. In most cases I have been told you need 2,wills 1thai 1 home country. But there are lawyers that will help you
  13. Forget about the fact that they now get home at 5:30 or 6 and then have to be at work at 5 or 6 the next day.
  14. People get upset that there is an increase, but eventually, I think they will find that it is still the fastest and cheapest way to go. Also, remember that the first week was the NY, so ridership for a couple of days was down. I think weekends could be affected but people are still going to use it to get to work. I did, though, notice last week that it was easier to get a seat at Khu KLhot at 6 and usually have to wait for 2 trains. If raising the fair makes it easier to get a seat then HELL I am all for it.
  15. There is no issue with medical use, but the guy on the corner that has a little stall is not selling high-grade Medical Marijuana. The businesses at NANA or on walking street in Pattaya are not selling Medical prescription Marijuana. ANUTIN, as is his penchant screwed the pooch on this one. He opened the lamp, let the Genie out of the lamp, and now is in a position where he can do nothing about it and has no ability to put the Genie back in the lamp. There are a lot of Elite that own either the businesses or the property that the businesses are on, paying high rent that is not going to be happy. Just walk around NANA, and you can see how many shops have shown up since the law was passed. Then, figure out how many of them will still be in business if they restrict it to medical prescription only. I figure only 1 on Suk and that is because they have their own doctor. The challenge now is that they have to license and have a system where they can check the quality of what is being sold. The Indian on the corner with the below-price MJ is probably not selling good stuff.
  16. WOW you can't be that old YOUNG FELLA Crawling around tanks and doing army stuff was a great deal for kids in my generation. Military air shows, building stuff and working on tractor-trailers was cool almost u[p there with dirt stock cars
  17. Don't theyhave to get municipal and police approval to film movies in Pattaya so the powers that be knew it was coming
  18. It can not be about sex work or hookers or prostitution. Those things do not exist in Pattaya ask the Police chief and mayor. Not sure how many people here have been to Stones, but it is apropos that they used it as a center for the song. It is a mix of couples and single girls looking to find a guy and guys looking to party hard. BUT AGAIN, JUST AS WITH ANY ESTABLISHMENT, NO MONEY, NO HONEY. Has anyone here ever gone into a bar, taken up real estate, and stayed there while not buying a drink or spending money? I do, though, think that they should have called it Pa Pat Pattaya or filmed it in Bangkok. Most people will look at the video and think it is Bang kok Hey, they could do this on NANA and use the Chinese girl as part of it. Imagine filming in the NANA entertainment complex
  19. Was that in the flood zone sam khok Have been dealing with them since 2010

The relaxed laws saw a lucrative cannabis industry catering to locals and foreigners alike boom across the Southeast Asian nation, but a new conservative coalition government came to power late last year vowing to tighten the rules and only allow medical use. A draft bill was released on Tuesday by Thailand’s health ministry outlining hefty fines or prison sentences of up to one year for offenders – or both. Cannabis and cannabis-related products will be limited to medical and health purposes only, the bill states, echoing Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s pledge in September that his new government will “rectify” laws on cannabis within the next six months. Smoking marijuana in public remained illegal even under the relaxed laws, but the proposed new laws will ban advertising and marketing campaigns for cannabis buds and extracts, and other cannabis products.

I put about as much weight behind them reporting as I would the guardian, Fox news or CBC. I think Stoner for once may have seen through the haze.. The one joke is that they say the NEW conservative government is pushing this. Lol it is the same monkeys as put this as open season.
