Bangkok Patana 2022/23 School Fees
MarcelV replied to blackcab's topic in Primary & Secondary Education
Great school. My Thai wife and I sent all our four children there. Good stuff. And, yes, it's expensive, but I got plenty of cash anyway and I wanna give my kids a great education. -
The way Thai schools organise stuff...
MarcelV replied to cooked's topic in Primary & Secondary Education
As a teacher I still don't know when the Fall holiday starts, or who my M.1 students are, as they keep bringin in new ones during the semester. I'm tellin y'all, teachin in Thailand ain't everything if ya can't handle uncertainties and general chaotic stuff and everything. -
5 Year Teaching Licence - No certificate or card?
MarcelV replied to blindbarney's topic in Teaching in Thailand Forum
I wish I had a 5-year license in the first place. I'm almost on my 4th waiver. Two more years, and it's farewell, Thailand! New teachers just don't get a license anymore. Thailand is tryin to chase all of us away. Chok dii khrap! -
Dual Pricing Reconfirmed In Thailand National Parks
MarcelV replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
I'd rather pay 500 baht for a NP if the Thai pay the same as I, than pay 400 if Thai pay only 40 baht. -

The Dark Web sells any chemical you need, and more! -
Mask Wearing Rules to be Relaxed from Mid-June
MarcelV replied to Stocky's topic in Southern Thailand
@StockyNo matter what the Bangkok government decides, expect to see masks worn by the majority of people for years to come. My school of 4000+ students has already made it clear masks must be worn on school grounds indefinitely. Malaysian and Singaporean tourists don't seem to have a problem with it either, right? So I guess Hat Yai will keep em too. -
Mask Wearing Rules to be Relaxed from Mid-June
MarcelV replied to Stocky's topic in Southern Thailand
Most of my students seem not to like the masks. I love the masks though, and always tell my students to wear them if I see their faces without. I will certainly keep wearing face masks in the years to come. I don't care what anyone thinks about it. -
Hajj Flights Hat Yai Airport - Organised Chaos
MarcelV replied to Stocky's topic in Southern Thailand
I know how crowded it can be. There are even direct international flights from Narathiwat Airport for Hajj. The only time of the year when aircraft fly anywhere else but Bangkok. -
Tak Bai Marine Police Attacked, 3 Injured
MarcelV replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
Absolutely. But how? I live in Narathiwat and people have given up hope long ago. After all these years, you learn to live with the violence. -
Covid 19 Extensions Extended Until July 25th

If you look up my posts, you can find exactly where I said so. *proud* -
Covid 19 Extensions Extended Until July 25th
MarcelV replied to ubonjoe's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You all know I called this out. Now give me the respect I deserve. These extensions will continue until the emergency decree ends. Mark my words. -
I wish I could. But I can't add anything useful.
-
I know people in the top of society. Yes, all the way to the VERY top. They've assured me the extensions will be extended after May. If there's no one you can believe, then at least believe me.
-
The emergency decree is still in force. The General will keep it like that until the elections next year. Maybe by then they will also abolish the Covid extensions. Trust me. I know what I'm talking about.
-
Yes, and the extensions are expected to continue until further notice, probably at least until the end of the year.

-The driver must be the legal owner of the car. -The car has to be paid off completely. -The windshield cannot have a film of more than 40%. -The car must have Malaysian-style black stickers (with white characters) with the Thai license plate letters translated into Rumi (Latin) script. -Your local DLT office must provide you with an English sheet/leaflet of ownership. -Once having crossed the border, you must get a Malaysian car insurance policy asap. Either for one day or a whole year. These are the requirements on top of my head.

Are children getting a fair deal at Schools in Thailand?
MarcelV replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Changeing the Thai education system would take much more than two years. It's unrealistic to expect that to happen in a short "recess", which it really wasn't. I am saddened by the continuous negative comments about education and teachers in particular. The teachers have to do their jobs as they were taught themselves. To blame them for the system flaws is pointless. -
This thread is amusing, the OP seems to be a condescending *#@& and my years in this country have taught me no school would wanna hire someone like that anyway. Just my 2 cents.
