Maybe because they don't need to be. Most Thai students (and Thai teachers) don't even know basic English. They need to be taught that first and the basic qualification for that is either be a native speaker or It's your 2nd language. And then maybe when they're finally at a decent level of English (ten years) they could need some actual real teachers.

But the Thai government know about the russia ukraine war and they're the one who decided this policy. Yes a general member of the thai public couldn't care less about the war and see russians as just farangs but they're not the ones who decided to give them 90 days its the government and they know full well the implications of this.

So, the Russians will be tour guides for Russians who wouldn't normally have a tour guide because the majority of Russians don't speak English or Thai. So, they're not stealing any jobs off Thais.

You're having a laugh. Russians are the rudest race on the planet.

So, when they first mentioned this 6 weeks ago they said certain countries will be given 90 days. What they meant was one country Russia will be given 90 days.

Tomorrow story... "Thailand's tourism is on the up"

You can't fail an exam in Thailand anyway. one of the most strangest and completely ridiculous education systems in the world.

It doesn't say where he actually was though. maybe there wouldn't have been much difference in it anyway. Also claiming the taxi driver wasn't bothered he was going to post it on tiktok. I doubt he even knew what the geezer was on about. ffs

If only this was true but unfortunately It's utter nonsense.

That may be true but my point was the amount of falangs that are surprised that some falangs don't have 800k. We aren't all loaded, contrary to what the Thais might say.

There are some of us who don't just have 800k to hand. Quite funny really cuz there seems to be just as many falangs as thais that think all falangs are loaded. No doubt someone will now comment that 800k isn't a lot. Well in my world it is.

Oh! now i see what it is... you want to be part of some sort of an exclusive group. you're gay but some kind of homosexual snob. because the bottom line is men who like men are gay. Otherwise you can't say you're gay because if men who like men isn't gay then neither are you. There is no such thing according to your definition.

Well good on ya. So I can't understand why you are sticking up for men who are in denial of their own sexuality.

It's 2023 there is no shame in being homosexual now mate. Don't be ashamed of your sexuality by pretending you do like women by going with a man that is pretending to be a woman. just be honest with yourself and be proud of who you are. Say it loud you're gay and proud

As i said... people in denial. Like yourself by the sounds of it. and It's a bit silly really as there is nothing wrong and no shame in being gay.

What the hell are you on about???? They aren't straight they're with men. maybe you're one of those who is mixed up. or in other words.... in denial !!

I think you have issues if you want a man who is trying to look like a woman. Fair enough if ya gay go with a bloke but if you're going with a bloke who is pretending to be a woman, you are very mixed up. I just don't get it.

No more news on the 90 days they talked about for certain countries.

You're just being presumptuous to think that will win your argument. I have lived in many places in Thailand including numerous villages and they're just as inactive there, as in the cities. So, what you going to try next? You going to narrow it down to a specific part of Thailand next to try and back your argument. Just like many posters on here you think you're the only foreigner who has lived in rural part of Thailand. And roll out the old 'the real Thailand' chestnut????

In other words they're gutted they'll have to do more work or at least should be.

One Thai woman doesn't mean they're all active. In general they're lazy when it comes to exercise or being active. Unless you have a completely different definition of active. And I'm no Thai basher. They have a lot of qualities but being active is definitely not one of them, but they're not alone in that these days. As most countries citizens are fairly inactive these days.

Active!! you're having a laugh!

Yes i know that but can it be in another currency?

When arriving in Thailand the required 20k can be in another currency as long as its the equivalent of 20k baht i presume?
