Where's the updates, Captain Steve?

Your potential customers deserve an explanation why there's still nothing, nor ships, on the horizon. Pun intended.

Masha Allah! The gold shop owner was a fortunate man. Insha Allah there will be no more heartbreak and suffering in the beautiful Fatoni region.

Sad to see my home province being in such a state. I'm overseas now, but will return to Narathiwat next week. Hopefully, there won't be any follow-up incidents in the short term.

Do you have an iPhone or e-Sim Android then services like Airola are pretty good?

 

If speed is important then be careful though as a lot of roaming package deals put you on lowest tier service level - I was getting 1mbit/sec on roaming, and a friend was getting 50mbit/sec, we both had same phones and we were both connected to same network. Difference was he had a local sim card, and I had a roaming package via one of the Thai incumbents. This wasn't consistent though in all countries.

 

 

I had great speed with the AIS package I bought last year. It was very expensive though and I'm looking to get better value for money.

I have an old Xiaomi Android phone btw. Not sure if it can even accommodate an eSim. 4G is the maximum speed for sure.

Here's the deal: I'll be traveling to Western Europe (2 different countrues) in October and I'm wondering whether to get a Ready2Fly package or a Sim2Fly SIM card (eSIM or regular SIM).

I'll be there for 18 days including arrival and departure dates, and I need at least 5 GB 4G internet, plus some affordable phone call minutes.

The R2F bundles of my carrier, AIS, are pretty expensive when including phone calls. Last year I paid about 3800 baht for their "Hot" package.

This year I've been looking into a Sim2Fly SIM card. 

What do you think suits my needs best?

Here in Mueang District we have barely seen any rain over the last five days. Our plants could surely use some.

You left out Pattani, Yala, Betong, Narathiwat and Sg. Kolok.

Same here. I teach in Thailand and it's the end of the first school term. As usual, I always seem to get sick right after classes have finished. This time is no exception.

I hope that one day a comprehensive ferry service across the Gulf of Thailand is going to happen, but it won't be with the current operators or fleet, I'm afraid.

Each waiver is for two years, as we know, but what if one has got 3 waivers and they didn't exceed more than 4 years altogether. Could one apply for one more two year waiver?

You can always try. I got my fourth waiver after six full years. If you can show sufficient personal development and a desire to get your educational credits, I'm pretty sure you can get number four.

Another dead ferry service.

I told Captain Steve multiple times that perhaps it would be best to enjoy his old age and retire, instead of wasting his millions on non-viable ferry routes.

There are no flights between Trang and UTP, so she will have to fly to Bangkok DMK.

I'm still trying to find out how the heck to get qualified in Thailand as a foreigner. Surprised to learn about an exam, as I had read this exam was been cancelled earlier this year and replaced by an online course offered by the Teacher Council of Thailand (TCT).

I was a teacher here for 25 years and this kind of thing, or worse, happened quite often, usually girls around M2/3, which is 13/14 years old. 

I teach that age group. If a girl would try touching me like that, I'd politely decline and tell her she shouldn't do that to anyone, let alone her 40+ year old male farang teacher.

Songkhla would be my choice, but make sure you speak some Thai there.

Have you visited Prince Of Songkhla Uni Dental Surgery?

 

I know some guys who went there but it was a little difficult to negotiate, like it's only evenings or something, the hospital reception didn't know too much about the procedure and I gave up. You will find a lot of the local specialists teach there during the day.

 

Now, im in Khon Kaen, I go to KKU Dental Hospital, and it's awesome. I really regret not pursuing things in Hat Yai.

I've not been there yet for any dental work, but I may choose to do so.

It still takes about three hours each way to travel there, but if it's really good I'd be willing to go for it. After all, I trust a university hospital more than a random clinic in my small town.

The Darwin Awards for 2023, South-East Asia edition, just added new nominees.

Finish this sentence.

Not all Muslims are terrorists.

...some are, just like some Brits are beer-guzzling mongers, but not all of them.

Please guys, create your own topic if you wanna discuss these matters.

I don't care about your retirement, as I'm still working and will be working for the next 14-20 years at least.

Have you ever read the qualifications for getting a license from TCT?

 

https://seetefl.com/tct-teaching-license/

 

start about 1/2 way down the page with; "Requirements..."

Yes, I have read it, and I qualify for the teacher licence according to this outdated list. In practice, however, I do NOT qualify because the graduate diploma in teaching I possess is no longer recognized. Basically, if that diploma wasn't acquired from a recognized shortlist (very short) of institutions, then the TCT does not recognize it. 

This leaves me with the only current viable route being the modules offered by the TCT themselves. If they don't dispatch any info about it, what am I supposed to do?
