I'm just asking if anyone might happen to know of any small, private schools where I could teach afternoons,evenings or weekends,part-time or full-time.

In addition to English(mother tongue) I can also teach French,Spanish,German,Portuguese,Italian and basic Mandarin Chinese.

"really chill" ? Oh, I thought it was about as hot in Chiangmai as down here.

Has anyone suggested that he leave and re-enter with a Tourist 60 day Visa, then later apply for a Non O and Retirement Visa. If he is only teaching part-time and he is 59 he might be eligible to do it that way. At least that is what I did.

You do have to have proof of your wealth in order to obtain a retirement

visa,do you not?

Thanks for the replies.

If I only had the money, I would simply get a retirement visa.

Alas, I am a poor man.

I am a 59 year-old U.S. citizen. My American boss and his Thai wife run a small private English school

where I have been teaching part-time for almost a year. We signed a contract in October and they finally got

my visa & work permit. We had quite a few discussions over the months concerning my failure to successfully

adapt to his strange teaching methods. Anyway, yesterday he said he had decided to give me my 2 week

notice before firing me. (In the contract it said there would be a mutual 1 month advance notice given by

either one of us. But he's the rich one with the power).

My question is this:

He says that he has to have them cancelled immediately within 2 days of my last day of employment for tax

purposes,and that the government is very strict about these things. And he says they will probably give me

only a few days to get out of the country.

Does anyone have information or advice about this?

Thanks in advance.

If you play the game their way,(i.e. play the role, act like a sick queen) you

are tolerated.

And this,.. praise the lord.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Because they are rich.

Sadly there is no phonetical translations.

It doesn't work.

I wish there were phonetic spellings so I could read the Thai words!!

I Wouldnt miss anything the british bullshit corporation put out ,its all left wing rubbish.

Left Wing? Nonsense. That just shows what an out of touch moron you are.

I intend to go out with a bang, preferbaly of the highest calibre I can get my hands on and put the pointy end in my mouth. Care homes are for pusssiess.

Why not just do it now!

Be careful of these Thai girls....especially around shopping malls...

Welcome to the forum!

I aquired my wife back in America, I should be good. And thanks!

By all means,always be good!

Where is there a nice quiet temple,or any other place, to go to relax and hang out?

O.K. Here I go again after just wasting half an our writing just so thaivisa forum can make it disappear in a second!

I was wondering if it might be possible to ask the folks at Chaing Wattana if they would please give me 2 extra days on the 30-day extension of my single entry tourist visa so I won't have to waste the 1900 baht. This is because I will be going on a free flight into Malaysia for 3 days as part of a 10 day teaching gig that I'm going on. I doubt that its possible though,right ?

Wow, I didn't know there were such rich Farangs living in Thailand. I wish I could get that kind of money teaching here!

Nothing to do with being mentally ill, it's about someone governing a country who is ''governed'' by religion.

How can ANYONE deny the holocaust, to be honest l find it foolish to deny it, what gain does he have ?. Nothing to do with Iran, why deny it. I just don't understand that from someone you think is intelligent.

Israel has nothing to do with Iran and the rest of the Middle East? Are you serious? Where have you been for the last half century or so?

The mere requirement of obtaining such "permits" is a shame beyond shame.

Over the past 10 years or so, I have asked more than a dozen immi officers to give me a single reason, other than "it's in the law" - for the existence of this ridiculous requirement, and - not to my surprise - no one could. Red tape sticks better - and worse - than any glue.

What do you imagine its like in your country?

AirUdon sounds good, What time do they leave in the evening, Getting to Nong Khai at 6am is ideal, I guess you mean 3rd floor at Mo Chit? I,ve never been off the ground floor there , hope information will help direct me to the ticket office window.

Sorry, though I remember the departure was late, I don't remember exactly what time. I may have been wrong with my arrival time. Looking back, I think it was closer to 5am.

I would suggest getting to the "NORTHEASTERN BUS TERMINAL at Mor Chit no later than 7:30 pm

Though you will see ticket windows on both the 1st and 2nd level, AIR UDON is on level 3. Just walk around and you will find it.

NOTE: If you take a taxi there, the taxi might take the ramp that drops you on the 2nd level rather than the first.

I strongly recommend you DO NOT ask at any information booth; I can tell you exactly what they will say. "Not know Air Udon, Not have!!" They will then show you "official" government bus price book showing a fare of B900+ but they will also tell you that if you go to "special window" and get discount...only B780. You will then have a 12 hour ride on a 62 seat shit bus that stops 25 times.

When you do find the AIR UDON window, would you take note of the window number and post it later to this thread? That will make it a lot easier for anybody trying to find it in the future.

Ok dddave, back after run, its booth number 55 , took a bit of finding because no English, but it was one of the busiest booths. 450 Bht and comfy new VIP bus with snacks and drinks included. Arrived around 6.30am

Just to say Dont come back with Airudon, They only have a smaller bus and not comfortable from Nongkahi in the evening. So I took chan tours same price not so comfortable but was ok left 7pm arrived at 3.30am in Mo chit . Better than those going on Nongkhai train sleeper getting in 7 or 8 am

Is he the guy who made shampoo ?

No, he's the guy who declared the end of American civilization.

Who declared the start?

Yeah,really!

Is he the guy who made shampoo ?

Oh, aren't you funny? Or maybe just st....

Did anyone hear anymore about this?

I guess not!

At least the Reds stand for the working class.So very unlike the pro militarist elitest fascist Yellows.

But apparantly all you folks here are not aware of that.

(edited) ..... I don't expect you to ever regard Milk as a martyr even if you read 100 books on the topic and talk to 100 people like me who were there. And it matters not one bit. Milk will always be a martyr anyway. I think on one level you KNOW that but for some reason (his leftist politics? his promotion of gay identity politics) that really annoys you. Too bloody bad!

You have, as usual, come to an incorrect conclusion.

I have no problem with Milk's politics, which by other countries' standards are not particularly "leftist" - you may have overlooked that before becoming a Democrat he worked on Republican Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign in 1964.

I also have no problem with his using his homosexuality to get the gay vote - he tried "gay identity politics" in 1973 and failed to be elected. In 1975 and 1976 he tried again after he had had a haircut, wore a suit, and swore off marijuana and gay bathhouses, trying to get a much broader base (which he did) and in 1977 he reverted to "gay identity politics" when the voting system was changed and he stood in a largely gay district, where he was elected.

What I have a problem with and what "really annoys" me, and I am afraid that you only have yourself to blame for my spelling it out since you raised the point and I deliberately avoided naming him before when I mentioned this as an example, is his selling his friends out for personal political gain - I know that's "only politics", but I find it unacceptable. When "Bill" Sipple saved President Ford's life in 1975 he did not want to be named at all and certainly did not want to be "outed" as gay, although his friends knew (but not his parents). Milk informed the press personally, justifying it because "It's too good an opportunity. For once we can show that gays do heroic things, not just all that ca-ca about molesting children and hanging out in bathrooms" - that was only partly true, as only a fortnight before Time magazine had run a cover story on a decorated Vietnam veteran, a pilot, who was being discharged for being gay (but that story obviously did not name Milk) . The full truth was that Milk told the press, against his friend's express wishes, on condition that they named him as a friend of Sipple and a leader of the San Francisco gay community who was running for election. Even in politics, I find that inexcusable.

There are other instances, but this is the worst - while I respect his political ability and what he did to raise the profile of gay rights (as well as his politics, such as health care, public transport, civilian control of the police, etc) I simply cannot respect someone personally just because they are gay.

JT, you often raise interesting, valid and thought provoking points but all too often they are obscured by the flood of unsupported personal abuse against anyone who disagrees with you and the pedestal you insist on building at every opportunity for Harvey Milk (and other "gay activists") and on which you try to put yourself by some tenuous association. I'm sorry to say that doing so does neither you nor them much credit.

Well said! Thanks for some truth!

You do realise you're replying to posts that are over a year old?
