Whatever the answer is to the visa question ----- consideration should be given to the ethics of what is being planned.

if the bank stocks AUD they will be happy to sell them !

Tell your friend to check with a bank!

Ban Ki-moon would be better occupied solving real problems like Syria, Afghanistan, Egypt, etc.

My son an English man married to an Australian lady secured the offer of a professional job in Australia.

It took almost 12 months of hard-work and not a little expense to secure the necessary Aus. visa.

I suspect it will be even more problematic for someone who just wishes to set up home in Australia.

A very wise move.

The protest sites are vulnerable to violent attack.

Lumpini Park will be safer and more easily defended.

​No need for more than one protest site now the Shin reign is in its final days !

if you can see the appointment displayed on screen the press Ctrl+P on the computer keyboard. Then press "print" .

For instructions about logging on contacting the US security forces may help !

I do not "pay" my wife.

She understands that "we" have a monthly income.

The income is "ours"

Simple things like rent, food, electricity and water have to be paid for.

What remains is "disposable" income which can be wasted or saved !

it really helps to have some savings so when the fridge needs replacing or the car/motorbike needs repair there is no drama !

I did not know that Thailand has 4G yet. DTAC offers HSPA most of the time.

Correct !

Woody Allen explained all this in the Phuket Gazette some time ago.

The article may be still available in the PG archive

i do not understand the problem.

I opened a B/A with the Bangkok bank many years ago with a tourist visa!

Over the years BB has provided me with a very good service which now includes internet banking and a means of moving money from the UK to Thailand economically and within 24 hours.

I have no knowledge of "Thai" agencies but in the UK it would be necessary to prove possession of an appropriate degree, teaching licence , a clear criminal record check and decent references before an agency would consider placing an applicant on the "books"

It's very different in Thailand. Sometimes being young seems to be enough,when they need teachers. I know of a guy from your country who had "changed" his own pretty much negative record

A homeless guy, who's out of everything, when a van of this agency pulled up, asked him where he was from. Alaska was enough. He's hired and the first question he was asking me after his first lesson was "How do you spell Wednesday"?

The kids corrected him, but he insisted in being right. He'd spelled it: Wedsday. ( Dude, please forgive me)- alt=biggrin.png width=20 height=20>

A guy who'd made the "curriculum" for them a few moons ago said to many employees that they wouldn't need a work permit." If they show up, just pay your fine and go back to work" Doesn't work that way..

Sad -------Its the children who are the suffers of this alleged despicable "practice"

Plus the incredible "nobody fails" strategy, which is an "unwritten law" by the MoE. No student from grade one up to grade 12 is allowed to ask a question to Thai teachers.

They could lose face, by not knowing the answer? ( My kids are asking me questions about almost everything.)

All students pass, even those with a huge learning. listening, speaking difficulty,or other disorders. And they hit the kids in primary school with bamboo sticks.

My hobby, since 2005 is to destroy them, while watching the kids looking at me. They seem to think I'll get hit too.. Goes on and on.

I always prepare my tests, then let them do the assignment, keep record, then deliver it to my Thai colleagues.

But they're also doing their tests and they finally get the grades from their Thai English teachers.

Does that make sense to put so much effort in doing a great job? I didn't mean teaching in general, but the "testing part"...

So having also some questionable foreigners as educators in the English language, it's sometimes all like a big circus..

And your position varies from being the director of a big zoo, to the guy who has to deal with the buffaloes' excremental outcome. - alt=wai2.gif width=20 height=20> .

I suppose it all depends on ones ethical standpoint.

Lack of education and knowledge inevitably leads to an acceptance of poor standards .

Most hospitals in the private sector understand and assist in gaining appropriate visa extensions. The large government hospitals can also assist.

Suspect this problem arose not from a long hospital stay but a failure to ask for assistance.

Retrospective medical letters will not help.

No problem with our phones.

Something seriously wrong !

My 3BB connection ( single line) has been rock solid with no problems.

Suggest a local failure is the issue -------condo building with bad wiring or something similar !

No work is permitted for those who have retirement extensions .

I will leave others to comment on the viability of the outlined plan.

The Police Station is not the place to go for a visa extension.

Visa extensions are provided by immigration officers who work at immigration offices.

i have no idea where the nearest immigration office is to Trat but a goggle search might be helpful.

As a "foreigner" it would seem you are fishing in deep water !

There is no legal means by which this or any other property (apart form a condo) can be "owned" by a "foreigner"

3K to open a bank account ?

Which bank was this ?

Use Zenmate in conjunction Chrome and 3BB ------problems solved ----------if you have a single line connection.

Thank you for the warning !

It all sounds very "dodgy" .

UP to you !

"yep you are well out of date as ubonjoe states best get extension"

What does that even mean?

I am very surprised that an "advanced member" with over 2500 posts needs to ask that question !

My 90 day paper is bar coded and stapled in the PP. When reporting the bar code is scanned, a form with all my details is printed out. I sign to agree the details are correct -----done quickly and with no difficulty.

i feel sorry for the lady.

Forced by family " loyalty" into a role she never sought and clearly is unsuited to.
