Yeah I am having the same problem the app says I am on overstay, which I am not. When I enter the info on the app the error message says that I have the wrong TM6 number which is not correct. Online I get the dreaded error message.

From what I understand things have changed considerably in the last few years with regards to admissions. These changes are a part of higer education reform in Thailand and they are awful. I work at a uni and also my wife's cousin is currently trying to get in. My wife teaches at and is alumunus of the same uni I work at and does not understand the current admissions process.

What I understand is that you take some kind of entrance exam. If you are accepted to your uni and program of choice. That's it. However if you do not then you go through several rounds of test taking until you get into a program that accepts you.

The uni I work at is no longer fully state supported  (as are most unis in Thailand) they are semi-private like the uk and usa. Unis have to make their own budget and this affects enrollment because my uni now excepts fewer students into the regular Thai program that I teach in. They now accept more students into their private programs where they charge twice the tuition. These programs now accept more students and pay more tuition. The admissions process is quite complicated to the regular programs with a continuous exam process.

This semester one of my undergrads dropped out. Granted she was not a good student but I was surprised to learn that she left undergrad because she passed the police force exam. Perhaps I will run into her at one of their monthly donation points.

My only advice is that your girlfriend needs to make it readily apparent that she has a job, duties & responsibilities that require her to return to Thailand. My wife (gf at the time) has not had a problem with the visa process. The only thing that may make her situation is her skills in english.

One of her students had an invite from a family friend in the usa. The friend paid for everything. She was denied a visa. 

Actually it is not a dowry but what is known as a bride price. A dowry is what the bride brings with her. This is an interesting tradition in thailand but inherently flawed. I was able to get out of paying this. I was told that this is a Chinese influence but it is hard to tell. Nowadays many families give back the money but I have heard stories of young couples going into debt after marriage in part because the bride price was not given back.

Is a false positive really criminal?

I have not had to use the otp sounds like you use scb? I have the most reasonable fees to be through bkk bank and no use of phone.

Before I knew better I purchased something online i think from zappos. it arrived and they wanted 5000 baht for the duty.

O.K., a little more information regarding this Cult / Situation...  Individual involved is a friend and I do not want to add to his problems by "Outing" him, but feel that this is serious enough to warrant trying to find more information regarding this "Group"...

 

"5 years ago my wife joined a religious cult, they took over her life and finances. _______then informed me that she belonged to the guy in the sky ___________________. I then joined the Taiwan run group to try and make things work. I became a vegetarian and went to a couple of their meetings, I stopped when I realised what was going on. People had to recruit others, by force or fear and also pay large amounts of money to get a front row seat in the sky. We built a nice house on the farm, when it was finished I was told it was for the cult to use, I took it back by force. Then a temple was built on the farm for their use and a large sum was paid to bless it. _______"

 

I am worried about my friend and also others who might become involved with this group, as they seem to be really trying to spread their "Word" /Bullshit...

I have heard many refer to dhammakaya as a cult. 

Also there are a few buddhist vegetarian cults here one of which was involved in some political protests in 2010.

Well as someone who teaches at a uni here i can tell you that it really depends upon what uni you teach at and at what program. Some of the international programs have you sign in/out like mcdonalds. The wage is accurate i get paid a bit more because i am a specialist. The opportunities to make more $ involve more teaching...

I guess there is no ucmj in thailand

Hate bread makers they can be very inconsistent.

For any yeast i recommend using a yeast starter. I have had great results using a sourdough starter making pizza dough.

I teach at one of the so called elite Thai univerities and had thought i caught a student cheating. In reality i made more trouble and stress for myself...

My take on it is this. Does she have a job in thailand that she would eb returning to. Does she have a career that she would return to?

I had a bill rejected from super rich the guy said it was old. I took it to another branch and they accepted it. Lol.

They have already started this crackdown near where i live in rangsit. To me it is all smoke and mirrors to draw attention away from what they are really doing.

Actually the sex trade in Thailand began ages before the Vietnam War, during the age of Rama 5 when polygamy was outlawed in Thailand...

This diplomatic incident is not even on the radar of the US news media.
