Rc2702.

When common sense applies and a  solution is arrived  to the satisfaction of all concerned, yes it is one of those ''Great agency stories.

A mutually agreed amicable solution was reached. Once the agency  knew the full facts  they acted and advised me in how to deal with the situation.

Perhaps yes a little  touch of temper on the part of someone who was  working under pressure is and can be expected. 

However they then  listened, advised and acted in their and my interests to solve the problem, to me that is the mark of an honourable business practice.

Not all agencies are the devil in disguise nor are all teachers the paragons of virtue either.

As  said, Alls well that ends well.

Just a little heads up when you,ve been here as long as I have working in education then retire  but  get very easily bored the work ethic is a saving grace..

I , we are financially sound but unlike  my home country there are  few if any  avenues to stimulate one mentally in retirement.

Bar stool life is not my idea of fun, working to hopefully at least motivate only one child is preferable to mental stagnation and cirrhosis of the liver. 

Actually we own the house we live in  and I  have a family and I Iike to be with them on a daily basis in the evenings. The idea of the routine of commuting in on a Monday and back on a Friday is not really practical much like running two homes. The transport problem rests with the insurance company not me.

But thanks for the advice Rc2702, if I was young and single it would be the ideal solution

Nothing about penalty and  also  no copy of contract handed on or  transmitted by  email. Line etc.

I understand their  problems but  my problem is a darn sight more  of an issue that theirs.I note that they were /are still advertising posts for the  school I was  to be employed at.

Reckon they are having problems in getting teachers hence my situation hasn't improved matters.  All left to the last moment as usual by school and agency. (Contract was signed on Wednesday May 9th 2018)

O K folks.

Whats the situation?  Having signed a contract last week  and  then a subsequent  issue changed my situation  dramatically.

I E  our car  was  badly damaged in an accident Sunday evening whilst being driven by a relative.

Now   the issue of getting to work  via public transport time and cost wise will become a big problem, cost around 500/600 baht a day, journey times in and outbound  around 3 +hours each way  as opposed to self drive around 3 hours  in total both in and outbound. It seems as if  the insurance will let me claim 1,000 baht a day travel, however being Tailand I  am not too sure as to the fact such costs will or may be paid

Told the agency, sorry no I cannot  take up the contract then they tell me a 45,000 baht release / fine  has to be paid.Now what legal right do they have?  

I had worked for the previous year for this agency and to be honest they were  good  as it seems their reputation was/is.

They were less than honest about informing the school as to my age, perhaps a  note to the school if things become heated  might well prove effective.

If it wasn't for irresponsible animal 'lovers' turning their pets out into the street or the pesky idiots who feed them then we would not have to find a solution.

I choose not to own a dog, so I don't see why I have to put up with someone else's cast off.

What the hell are you talking about??

 

The Phuket Soi Dog programme of neuter/vaccinate/release has been proven to work.  Phuket has far fewer soi dogs, and is rabies-free.

If Phuket still has wild dogs roaming the sois then your dog progamme is not working.

There are still unwanted, flea ridden, suffering dogs in the streets.

When will the do gooders realise that they are the ones that created the problem in the first place?

When will these dog foundations realise that a 100% cull is the only answer.

How often have I said this?

 

Spay, vaccinate and release.

 

It's worked brilliantly on Phuket, which is a rabies free area.

Alternatively, round them up, double tap, burn.

Also creates a rabies free area.

What was the poison that they were using and where would one buy it from?

Does it come ready mixed or do you have to mix it yourself?

If self mix, is there a decent Youtube video showing the procedure?

All in the interests of scientific research of course.

Same thing airlines do except on the rare occasion we have dual bookings we have other guesthouses we work with on relocations. In all due respect we maintain an 8.6 rating and you obviously are clueless to the realities of this type business. Airbnb clients are far more reliable and pay ahead of time. Booking.com clients are mostly low-ball travelers that create the most havoc, don't return confirmations, etc.

Any other hotel will tell you the same. We actually have few we have to relocate because we cancel their reservation after the third contact attempt. We average 90% + occupancy and we never get ThaiVisa guests, rooms are too expensive.

What a terrible and underhanded way to run a business.

Sad that you have to use your customers just to get your pockets full.

I thought that the speed limit in Thailand was 200 Baht.

So you actively condone shooting cats with BB guns do you ?

 

Sick

 

I feel that I have done myself an injustice here, so I would like to explain that the reason for condoning the shooting of stray vermin with BB guns is because real guns are not available for Westerners.

As to your other question about my health, I do have a touch of the flu coming on but I'm not too sick at the moment, thank you for asking.

Easy answer to the dog problem is to bring in mandatory microchips for dogs.

If a dog is running loose on the street and is not micro-chipped, then it is a stray and can be taken away and humanely put down.

If a dog is running loose on the street and is micro-chipped, then the owner could be fined.

As for cats, is this not the reason why we have BB guns?

Would any of these plans include a newer higher price for tourists?

Reminds me of the old country.

About time that we had a thread on Irish music, we should have one about whiskey as well.

It's an era when women cry for equality. Only logical they don't get any perks but get clocked right back. Be careful what you wish for.

This is the problem with the bra burning crowd.

We want equality to have it but we want more rights than men.
