It’s only in international schools where they employ fully qualified, professional staff and that you see English widely spoken. All the other schools have taken on drunken sex pests for 30k baht a month. Hardly surprising the standard isn’t great.
This new visa is probably in addition to the other retirement visa. Otherwise there’ll be a mass exodus at renewal stage. Very few are millionaires after all.
