The Ministry (of Education) had in 2015 tested all civil servant English teachers in a CEFR-referenced online placement test, where 94% had failed to reach the targeted proficiency level of B2.

https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2002315/intensive-push-to-lift-english-proficiency It's a program in which students get more English lessons per week than regular students. The goal is that students reach B2 level of CEFR which is a joke because most English teachers (Thai) at secondary schools don't reach that level themselves.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 120 seconds  

The internet has lots of worksheets and exams but course books are difficult to find (copyrights). I know one site that has a selection of English course books which you can download but the wide range of age and probably levels will make it difficult to find some appropriate ones. Send me a message if you are interested.

Assuming she works at a school, can't she get books or recommendations from English teachers at the school?

Are you going by car or motorbike? CK Crew (a group of 6 friends in Chiang Khan riding motorbikes) did a trip around Nan last year. If you want to follow a scenic route I'd recommend going to Nong Khai first, then follow the river to Chiang Khan and Na Haeo, then backroads up to Nan. From there you could follow the route KhunLA recommended. Very nice indeed.

I'm German with residency in Thailand and rented cars in The Netherlands, Germany, the UK and in Florida with my 5-year-licence (plastic card) without any problems at all.

Saloon Bar is the place to go. Best on weekends. In Chiang Khan stay in one of the many guesthouses with river view on Chai Kong Road. A drive along the river road to Nong Khai is very interesting. Stop at HiSo Bannork restaurant (ไฮโซ-บ้านนอก) in Ban Hat Kamphi. Google maps: 42VC+HRQ, Hat Kamphi Unfortunately open only on weekends during lunch time but their slow-cooked ribs are spectacular.

It's about my second 5-year license that I need to renew in August.

I eventually found a modern specialized eye hospital with professional staff in Udon Thani and had lenses in both eyes replaced with EDOF lenses on the same day. Cost for one eye was 35,000 THB plus a fee of close to 5,000 THB for a very thorough eye examination prior to surgery. I can recommend Chaksusathan hospital for excellent service and reasonable prices. Check it out on Facebook: จักษุสถาน อุดร : Chaksusathan Udon.

I need to renew my 5-year driving license in August and wonder if I can do so with a certificate of residence from another province, not from the province where I want to renew my license. Has anybody done this before or know if it's possible? Thank you so much in advance.

I will get a new passport through my embassy in Bangkok together with a letter asking immigration to transfer my Non-O visa and extension of stay stamp to my new passport. Can that be done at any immigration office or only at the office that issued the extension of stay?

Sorry, I forgot to ask: Did you need insurance?

Well done. 25 days is not too long to wait I think. Enjoy your stay in Thailand.
