    " people with signs on the roadside or begging at gas stations. Here in Asia we are not used to this way "

     

    I have never personally seen a farang begging in Thailand but I have seen countless Thai beggers and her comment,   If we are supporting beggars or people bartering they will just take our money. It is the wrong way round".  Yes we are suppose to take your money but don't touch what we already took from you.

     

    You obviously do not go out beyond your safety net of Pattaya. There are plenty of westerner begging on Asoke skytrain station doing exactly the same like here in the west, they are also in Hong Kong doing the same thing selling photographs on the sidewalk and playing musical instrument.

    I think 45 mins. is a bit short. I live Bang Saray. Takes me 35-40 mins. to Jomtien. on my motorbike, longer by car as can't nip in and out between the cars (I'm not Thai). Driving in the opposite direction towards U-Tapow it takes me about the same length of time to reach the airport (I'm usually going to the beautiful Nang Ram beach).

    I use the google maps recomended route, and live in Jomtien, maybe a little longer if you are further into Pattaya depending on the time of day. Hope that helps.

     

    cheers

    Thanks for the response. Yes, I agree that a degree is important. I'm just trying to assess if the college degrees that I have can be considered as university-level education, and if not, if there are other ways or places (legal) where I can teach of which a university or bachelor's degree isn't a requirement. 

    Nope, there's no other way you may as well try China or Vietnam. You could go to smaller town or cities that may give you WP. Fluency in Thai won't get you far in school like other poster said, it's advantage for everyday communication with the locals.
